The prime minister has assured the rakyat that they do not need to worry about the level of national security as it is still protected despite allegations of an active foreign intelligence agency in the country.
Ismail Sabri Yaakob said he was waiting for a report from the police and the National Security Council (NSC) regarding the allegation of a foreign intelligence agency's involvement in the abduction of Palestinians here.
"On the Mossad agents issue, I have not received a detailed report from the NSC and the police, as well as a report regarding an Israeli (who entered Malaysia using another passport).
"I will be meeting with the inspector-general of police (Acryl Sani Abdullah Sani), the NSC and all related agencies to obtain the report," he told reporters after officiating the Mega Festival for Hawkers, Traders and Small Entrepreneurs at Dataran Merdeka today.
He was asked to comment on the report published by a local English-language newspaper on the involvement of Israeli intelligence agency Mossad in the abduction of a Palestinian, Omar ZM Albelbaisy Raeda, that was carried out by locals.
Yesterday, Kuala Lumpur police chief Azmi Abu Kassim said the police had yet to confirm Mossad’s involvement in the abduction case as claimed by the newspaper.
On Oct 5, it was reported that police rescued the 31-year-old victim who was kidnapped a day earlier, after 18 individuals were arrested in Kuala Langat, Ampang and Beranang in Selangor and Malacca in separate operations conducted from Sept 29 to Oct 4.
Last Friday, 11 individuals, including a woman, were charged in the Kuala Lumpur Magistrate's Court with kidnapping Omar to solicit information on software to hack mobile phones.
Meanwhile, on the distribution of seats for Umno in the 15th general election, Ismail Sabri, who is Umno vice president said the matter was still being discussed with component parties under the BN coalition.
