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
