Four bodies to probe Anwar's claim that Israeli agents infiltrated Bukit Aman
(The Star) - PUTRAJAYA: Four independent bodies will investigate Opposition leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s claim that Israeli intelligence agents infiltrated Bukit Aman, said Home Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein.
Hishammuddin said he had asked his parliamentary secretary Datuk Markiman Kobiran to lodge a police report over the allegation by the PKR leader so that police could investigate the matter.
The National Security Council has also been asked to investigate the claim and look at possible breach of security, he said, adding that a report has also been lodged with the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission.
"I will also call for the matter to be investigated by a parliamentary select committee,” he told a press conference after chairing his ministry’s weekly post cabinet meeting here Friday.
Anwar had raised the issue in parliament on Tuesday and then on Thursday, claimed he had copies of letters sent to the inistry’s legal adviser in 2009 and the director-general in 2008 over the alleged involvement of Israeli intelligence agents in the project to upgrade the police force’s information and communication system.
Hishammuddin said he decided to have the matter investigated by four separate parties to avoid questions being raised on the findings of investigations of any one party.
