Kuala Lumpur: Bukit Aman’s classified crime investigation unit will investigate PAS president Tan Sri Abdul Hadi Awang’s claim that Perikatan Nasional (PN) is attempting to topple the government.
Sentul police chief Beh Eng Lai said police received reports lodged by the youth wings of Amanah and Selangor PKR at the Dang Wangi district police headquarters (IPD) yesterday.
The reports were lodged after Hadi said that PN was making plans to topple the unity government led by Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim.
Hadi told reporters in Parliament on Monday that as a democratic country, no one had the right to stop his coalition’s efforts to topple the government of the day.
He said that such an attempt could be done either through a vote of no-confidence or via statutory declarations.
He also dismissed the notion that attempts to topple the government would go against the Yang di-Pertuan Agong’s wish for political stability in the country.
According to Hadi, the King cannot prevent changes in a democratic nation.
“The King is subject to the Federal Constitution, and our constitution still upholds democracy,” the Marang MP was reported to have said.
