The proposed phase 2 deal allegedly discussed between Israeli cyber startup Senpai and Malaysian agencies under the Pakatan Harapan administration was three times larger than the surveillance agreement signed in April 2018 prior to GE 14, said former premier Najib Abdul Razak.

"The phase 2 deal discussed after GE14 was greatly expanded and three times the value of phase 1. It includes the Special Branch (SB), MACC and the Prime Minister's Office under Dr Mahathir (Mohamad).

"Since the PMO is now mentioned, you should ask Mahathir then as well as the MACC head under Mahathir (Latheefa Koya) too," he told Malaysiakini today.
