00:09Anwar said that he himself was subject to such monitoring.

00:14He was responding to Terengganu Menteri Besar Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar,

00:18who yesterday asked why he had been flagged as a person of risk in the country's border control system.

00:23He claimed that all of his movements were under complete, stealthy and continuous surveillance under the TCO designation.

00:33Home Minister Saifuddin Nasution Ismail later played down some serious complaints,

00:38saying there was no need to spy on him given his security detail as Menteri Besar.
