Prime Minister's Office declares letter on highway widening approval a forgery
The Prime Minister's Office said a July 17 letter claiming cabinet approval for a PLUS highway widening project is fake and warned the public not to share it.

The office emphasized that Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim did not issue or sign the document. Officials urged citizens to refrain from distributing or believing the fake letter.
A police report has been lodged concerning the falsification and misuse of the prime minister's name and the office's official identity. The PMO indicated that appropriate legal measures will be pursued against those found responsible. The warning aims to prevent misinformation and protect the integrity of governmental communications.
