Malaysia Detains Eight Suspected of Planning Threats Against Leaders

Arrests linked to Islamic State ideology, targeting prime minister, king, and other officials.

Eight individuals, including a former lecturer and housewives, were detained across four states.
Suspects allegedly planned threats against Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim and King Sultan Ibrahim Iskandar.
The detainees are held under the Security Offences (Special Measures) Act for 28 days.
Authorities assure public safety measures are in place and urge vigilance against extremist ideologies.
This marks a significant operation against militant cells, a rare occurrence in recent years.
