PKR de facto leader Anwar Ibrahim has laughed off a claim in Utusan Malaysia that his men have infiltrated government bodies in a move to topple the administration of Najib Abdul Razak.

NONE Asked to comment on the opinion piece published today, Anwar jokingly said that this is a compliment to him.

"Thank you very much, Utusan ! Every day they attack Anwar, without Anwar appearing to rebut or explain. Isn’t that interesting?

“It’s a compliment (as to) how powerful I am, to be able to influence ... I hope its not the PMO (Prime Minister's Office)," he said with a smile.

Anwar said he does not usually take articles written in the Umno-owned Malay daily seriously.

NONE "..I don’t read Utusan . Was it a major thing in Utusan ?" he asked.

The article claimed that the 'enemies within' have been feeding the opposition with confidential information about Najib, including details about his official overseas trips and private holidays.

However, it did not name any government agency.

Senior editor Zaini Hassan (right) , who wrote the article, claimed he had received reliable information on the matter.

"The information I received shows that it is a real and evident situation," he said in his Cuit column.
