Anwar Confirms Intelligence of Dubai Meeting to Topple Malaysian Government
-
Rumors circulated in December of a "Dubai Move" plot by opposition leaders to topple Malaysia's unity government during a meeting in Dubai
-
The plot was alleged to involve influential political veterans including Dr Mahathir and former finance minister Daim Zainuddin
-
Key players have denied involvement, but Prime Minister Anwar confirmed intelligence showed some leaders did meet to discuss toppling his administration
-
Analysts say such a move would likely need support from GPS party in Sarawak to destroy the government's two-thirds parliamentary majority
-
Some observers believe the plot was driven by certain figures seeking self-preservation from Anwar's anti-corruption probes, but that it is unlikely to succeed
