Communications Minister and Government Spokesperson Fahmi Fadzil has stressed that the government will not compromise on national security amid reports of increased movements by foreign agents.
He confirmed that the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) is monitoring these activities closely and will act when necessary to safeguard public safety.
Inspector-General of Police Mohd Khalid Ismail had recently confirmed a surge in foreign agent movements following Prime MinisterAnwar Ibrahim’s strong stance on Gaza and the Palestinian issue.
“It is undeniable that since the Prime Minister adopted a firm position on Palestine, he has become one of the most closely watched leaders in Southeast Asia by these elements,” Fahmi said.
He added that national security remains non-negotiable, with PDRM maintaining continuous surveillance and regular briefings through the National Security Council.
“Although the situation is under control, no threat can be underestimated. Malaysia’s position on Palestine is rooted in humanitarian principles, not mere sentiment,” he said.
Fahmi reiterated that Malaysia consistently demands an end to Israel’s military aggression in Gaza and supports full independence for Palestinians.
He highlighted that Anwar has successfully influenced global leaders such as former Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte, both of whom revised their stance after discussions with him.
Fahmi also noted Japan’s commitment to work with Malaysia and other countries to assist in Gaza’s reconstruction, with talks expected soon.
