US Refutes PAS Leader Hadi Awang’s Claim of Attempt to Influence Malaysian Politics The latest controversy between Kuala Lumpur and Washington has raised questions about the delicate balance of international relations in Malaysia, where domestic politics often intersects with foreign influence.
The dispute centers on Parti Islam Se Malaysia (PAS) president Hadi Awang's claims that the US attempted to determine Malaysia's political leadership.
In a statement released on September 6, David Gamble Jr, Charge d'Affaires at the US Embassy in Malaysia, denied any allegations of US involvement.
