Several officials from the government and the ruling coalition have been urged to clear the air after they were named in an alleged intelligence report authored by PAS.
Umno veteran Shahrir Samad said the alleged document had implicated a top government official in a "conspiracy" that involved top legal officers.
The goal of the conspiracy, according to the so-called leaked document, was to expedite ongoing court cases against Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi and his predecessor Najib Abdul Razak.
"If the allegations (in the document) are true, then it shows that the judiciary system has broken," wrote Shahrir on his Facebook page today.
Shahrir noted that the alleged document had been circulating since April 18 and he was waiting for those to be implicated to lodge police reports.
"At the very least, the prime minister should ask the attorney-general if he agreed with the (official's) opinions (recorded in the document).
"(The prime minister should) ask if this is collusion between political leaders (and figures in the judicial system)," Shahrir added.
The so-called leaked documents have been circulating in political circles and reported by a website known as Malaysia Hot.
The document contained the alleged findings of two PAS figures after meeting several top figures in Bersatu and Umno.
At the time of writing, PAS has not denied the claims. Malaysiakini has reached out to the two PAS officials and is waiting for their comments.
Echoing Shahrir, Umno supreme council member Ahmad Shabery Cheek said it was "appropriate" for the government figures to issue denials if the allegations were not true.
"The Watergate scandal happened in the US in 1972. Wikileaks started to expose secret documents in 2006.
"Will there be a 'PAS leaks' as well if there are no denials coming from the (Terengganu PAS figure), who was featured prominently in the document," asked Shabery, who is also a major Umno figure in the state. - Mkini
