KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia will issue a note to the United States embassy to protest the country's statement warning against any "politically-motivated" investigation into PKR de-facto leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
"This is a statement which I perceive as an attempt to meddle in our administration. We have our own government, our own laws and our own enforcement.
US State Department spokesman Tom Casey was quoted as saying that "it hoped there would not be a pattern" because Anwar had faced similar charges in 1998.
Earlier, in another press conference, Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said the police probe into the newest police case against Anwar "was never politically motivated".
"It has never been politically motivated at all. Washington had better get their facts right," he said.
