Sabri affirms his full confidence in the rule of law and the integrity of Malaysia’s armed forces - January 2, 2026
VICE-Admiral Datuk Sabri Zali has unequivocally denied all allegations levelled against him, describing them as false, misleading, and seriously defamatory.
Speaking through his legal representative, Muhammad Firdaus Jumaluddin, Sabri stated that the accusations were without basis and implicated not only himself but also the National Defence University (PUSPAHANAS), the Royal Malaysian Navy (TLDM), and the Malaysian Armed Forces (ATM) as a whole.
“To date, Datuk Sabri has never been found guilty of any wrongdoing, nor has he been convicted of corruption, abuse of power, or any form of misconduct by any competent authority,” Muhammad Firdaus said during a press conference at PUSPAHANAS on Friday.
He added that claims of possessing so-called “documents”, including those alleged to be classified or sourced from enforcement agencies, were not recognised by Sabri in terms of authenticity, validity, or provenance.
“Any documents obtained unlawfully, cited out of context, selectively chosen, or open to manipulation cannot be treated as evidence of misconduct or support for any alleged wrongdoing,” Muhammad Firdaus emphasised.
Vice Admiral Sabri has reserved all legal rights, including the option to pursue civil action against any individual or party who publishes or republishes defamatory statements.
Nevertheless, he reaffirmed his confidence in the nation’s legal system and the integrity of its legitimate institutions and expressed his readiness to cooperate with authorities through proper channels if required.
“All questions regarding this matter will be addressed formally, officially, and in accordance with the law. Datuk Sabri will not respond to anonymous allegations, speculation, or sensational narratives,” he stated.
He further warned that the dissemination of unverified claims could damage individual reputations, undermine public confidence, and result in serious injustices.
Accordingly, he urged all parties to allow due legal processes to take their course and to cease spreading unsubstantiated or malicious allegations. - January 2, 2026
