Bukit Aman USJT to handle probe on Hadi's govt ouster claim

KUALA LUMPUR: Investigations against PAS president Tan Sri Abdul Hadi Awang on his claims that Perikatan Nasional(PN) was attempting to topple the government will be conducted by Bukit Aman's Classified Crime Investigation Unit (USJT).

Sentul district police chief ACP Beh Eng Lai said police received reports lodged by Amanah and Selangor PKR youth at the Dang Wangi police headquarters yesterday.

"The case will be investigated by Bukit Aman's Classified Crime Investigation Unit," was his brief response at a media conference when asked about developments on the case.

The reports lodged were in connection with Abdul Hadi's statement that PN and the Opposition block were making plans to topple the Unity government led by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

Abdul Hadi told reporters in Parliament on Monday that based on Malaysia's democratic system, no one had the right to stop PN's efforts to topple the government of the day, and such an attempt can be done either through a vote of no-confidence or via statutory declarations (SD).
