GOMBAK, April 11 — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said today he too is under surveillance as he responded to an allegation by Terengganu Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar that his phone is being tapped.
Anwar was asked to comment on the matter by a reporter after meeting students at the International Islamic University here amid concerns over privacy.
He claimed all of the country’s top leaders are being surveilled, but did not elaborate.
“I too have (TCO), all VIPs have it,” the prime minister said briefly before walking away.
TCO refers to “Travel Control Office/Order” (TCO), supposedly a domestic security designation for individuals purportedly deemed a “risk” or “threat”.
