KUALA LUMPUR – A major conspiracy scandal has unfolded following allegations that a prominent family hired a UK-based strategic communications firm to apply systematic pressure on the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) and Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, using a network of lobbyists and international media.
The claim surfaced in a police report filed at Brickfields Police Station yesterday, revealing a secret Zoom meeting between members of the family and representatives of the UK firm in July of the previous year.
The firm in question is said to possess significant influence over national policy, leveraging its extensive lobbyist network. A copy of the report has since gone viral on social media.
