[UPDATED] Anwar: Stay alert against provocateurs, foreign threats to national unity

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysians must remain vigilant against provocateurs and foreign agents seeking to destabilise the country and undermine its values, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said. Citing a past case involving two Malaysians linked to the Israeli intelligence agency Mossad, Anwar said the public must be wary of misleading narratives and foreign interference. "Do not allow provocateurs or foreign agents to undermine what we have built. "There are those who, out of envy or acting on behalf of foreign powers, aim to destabilise our country and erode our values," he said in his speech at the National Training Week (NTW) 2025 programme here. He referenced the 2022 incident in which two Malaysians, a husband and wife, were found to have aided Mossad operatives by purchasing weapons smuggled from Thailand. "Let us not forget: previously, a Mossad agent entered Malaysia, and I commend the police for successfully arresting and charging those involved." He referenced the 2022 incident in which two Malaysians, a husband and wife, were found to have aided Mossad operatives by purchasing weapons smuggled from Thailand. "Let us not forget, previously, a Mossad agent entered Malaysia, and I commend the police for successfully arresting and charging those involved," he said. Anwar stressed that the country's independence and values under the Negara Madani concept must not be taken for granted. "Just yesterday, Israel launched another brutal attack against Iran. We strongly condemn it. How is it that one country is allowed to carry out such violence repeatedly and with impunity? "It is shameful that some people in this independent Malaysia still allow such acts to go unchallenged, or are afraid to speak up. "This is what it means to be a Negara Madani. We do not care whether certain countries approve or not," he added. Anwar also urged the nation's youth not to be easily misled. "Do not be naive. Do not be easily deceived by what you see on social media."
