Bernama news agency quoted Najib’s press secretary Sariffuddin Ahmad as saying that contrary to what Swiss newspaper Le Temps published, Malaysia does not sanction attempts to interfere with the internal affairs or judicial process of other countries.
“Furthermore, the Prime Minister was not accompanied by the individuals Le Temps named,” he said in a statement Tuesday.
Tengku Sariffuddin said the reality was that at the meeting, security and joint efforts to combat extremism topped the agenda, while pacts on trade, economic growth for the people and inclusive development for Muslims in southern Thailand were also signed.
