Mandiri executive director Amir Hadi said the letter was sent by the NGO’s solicitors by email today, and a physical copy will be handed to Kamil tomorrow morning.

Amir said the NGO will give Kamil 48 hours to issue an apology, or it will file a suit for RM10 million.

“We will also monitor social media accounts that continue spreading this slander and will not hesitate to take legal action if this issue prolongs,” he said in a statement.

Yesterday, Kamil had urged the authorities to investigate allegations of foreign funds being channelled to politicians, individuals and certain organisations for political activities that could threaten national security and stability.

He said the funds were linked to political movements, including the financing of social media operations and the mobilisation of street protests aimed at creating anti-government sentiment under the guise of democracy and human rights.

In a statement, he cited reports alleging that a US-based foundation had channelled more than RM1.5 million to a local company linked to an NGO through several transactions between November 2024 and June 2025.

He also referred to allegations that the foundation made seven transactions, amounting to more than RM680,000, to the NGO’s executive director and several other people linked to the NGO in 2024 and 2025.

This followed a police report about a viral video alleging that more than RM1.5 million in foreign funds was channelled from a US group called Tides Foundation to Mandiri.
