PETALING JAYA: A former senior defence intelligence official has claimed that certain politicians in Malaysia have received regular funding and "moral backing from foreign organisations and individuals”, according to a news report. “We received information that several leaders in the country are strongly favoured to continue their position and strong influence in politics. He further claimed that the identities of these politicians and the details of their meetings abroad with their foreign backers were with the Defence Ministry. But there were indeed meetings between several individuals who obtained this moral support from those overseas,” Mohd Salleh was quoted saying. However, the Malay weekly did not disclose any of the politicians' names in the news report.
