00:00A lawyer acting for former finance minister Daim Zainuddin's widow, Naima Khaled, has rubbish claims that she's attempting to topple
00:08the government, describing it as outrageous and the mother of all lies.
00:14Nizamuddin Hamid confirmed that he was one of the two lawyers named in a police report as having attended a
00:20meeting with Naima, where the alleged plot was discussed, adding that the other lawyer was his law firm partner, Amir
00:26Zarif Abdullah.
00:27However, he said there were no discussions or orders from Naima concerning any plot to topple the government or undermine
00:34the nation's democracy.
00:37Last week, Bukit Aman said it was investigating claims of an attempt by unnamed individuals to overthrow the government and
00:44threaten national stability, based on a police report.
00:47The police report alleged that members of a prominent family engaged a UK firm to exert pressure on MACC and
00:55Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim with the help of international media.
00:59In a separate article, Bloomberg claimed that a network of businessmen and MACC officers used raids and investigations to pressure
01:08executives into selling shares in targeted companies.
01:12MACC has denied the claim.
