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.
Inspector-General of Police, Datuk Seri Khalid Ismail, confirmed that the Bukit Aman Special Investigation Unit (D5) is currently investigating the case under Section 124B of the Penal Code for actions that may harm Malaysia’s parliamentary democracy.
While the identities of the individuals and media agencies involved remain undisclosed, the police have expressed serious concern over any attempt to destabilise the government or disturb public order.
In an official statement, Khalid warned the public against spreading baseless rumours that could worsen the situation.
“The investigation is ongoing, and the public is advised not to speculate on the matter while the police complete their investigation in line with the principles of justice in this country,” he said. – February 27, 2026
