Earlier on Tuesday, Malaysia’s Home Ministry ordered a probe into Network School, saying that the government will not compromise against any individual or organisation that misuses Malaysia’s immigration facilities or engages in activities that contravene the law and could jeopardise national security, public order or the country’s sovereignty.
This comes after Onn Hafiz called for an investigation, adding that he had asked the ministry, Immigration Department, police, Customs Department and other relevant security agencies to investigate the identities and nationalities of those involved with the Network School.
Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has also weighed in, saying that the government would expel any Israeli nationals found to be involved in the Network School and that they would be “chased away”.
Local media reported on Thursday that the immigration department had yet to find any evidence that Israeli nationals were present at the Network School.
The department said it had inspected 266 foreigners from 40 countries and found they had valid documents, though further checks were ongoing to ensure compliance with all other entry requirements and related laws.
