KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 26 (Bernama) -- Malaysian authorities are
investigating thoroughly the latest media report on the alleged
involvement of other countries, in particular Singapore, in spying
activities against Malaysia.
Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Anifah Aman said the government was
extremely concerned about reports of alleged spying by a number of
countries on Malaysia.
He said if these allegations were eventually proven, it was certainly a
serious matter that the Malaysian government strongly rejected and
abhorred.
In a statement, he said the ministry would call the Singapore high
commissioner tomorrow to seek clarification on the alleged spying
activities by Singapore against Malaysia.
"The security and sovereignty of Malaysia remain the utmost priority of
the government. It cannot be over-emphasised that spying against a good
friend and neighbour is unacceptable and goes against the true spirit of
and commitment to good neighbourly relations," Anifah said.
Anifah noted that Malaysia and Singapore currently enjoyed mutually
beneficial and strong ties as reflected by the excellent relations
between the two prime ministers and the expanding areas of cooperation.
An online news portal reported that secret documents leaked by American
whistleblower Edward Snowden had revealed that Singapore had aided an
intelligence group behind an alleged spying activity in Malaysia
