Terengganu Menteri Besar Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar has dismissed the so-called leaked PAS intelligence report as "rubbish".
"Do people believe that rubbish piece of document? (The document) is a joke. (Its contents) are not true.
"To me, it is rubbish," Samsuri told reporters in Kuala Terengganu today after an award ceremony for students.
The so-called leaked document contained summaries of Samsuri and another PAS leader’s alleged conversations with several Umno and Bersatu leaders that took place between March 24 and April 7.
Some Umno figures such as veteran member Shahrir Abdul Samad and supreme council member Ahmad Shabery Cheek said those named in the document should come out to clear the air, because of the very damning allegations made.
Among other issues, Shahrir said the document suggested that there was a high-level conspiracy involved in the criminal trials against Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi and his predecessor Najib Abdul Razak.
Study the matter
Meanwhile, Zahid responded to Shahrir's statement by urging the public to study the matter themselves.
"It is up to the rakyat and Umno to evaluate (the matter) themselves," he wrote on his Facebook page.
Malaysiakini is attempting to contact other individuals named in the so-called leaked document for comment.
So far, Samsuri is the only one of eight political figures named in the so-called leaked document to have denied its contents.
The document has been in circulation the past few days but only garnered more attention when it was uploaded to a website called Malaysia Hot on April 18. - Mkini
