Security incidents involving Mahathir Mohamad

In November 1979, Mahathir remained calm during a bomb hoax at the Ministry of Trade and Industry building in Jalan Duta, Kuala Lumpur.

This incident marked the second time he had experienced such a threat, with a similar hoax occurring two years earlier at the Federal House in Jalan Kinabalu.

On both occasions, the police were alerted, and bomb disposal units conducted thorough searches of the premises, but no explosives were found, and the situations were resolved without incident.

[2] The report, based on intelligence sources, claimed a Kedah PAS leader provided a list of five UMNO figures to be killed in the name of implementing Islamic law.

The investigation focused on identifying the source, the speaker, and those responsible for producing and distributing the tape, while efforts were made to prevent its circulation to safeguard national security.

[10] Surrounded by about 1,000 cheering supporters upon his arrival at the airport, an unidentified assailant fired pepper spray from a can at him,[11] causing temporary breathing difficulties.

[22] The suspect, Wan Amirul Azlan bin Jalaluddin, confessed after his arrest that he planned to attack Mahathir and other officials with knives or sharp objects to show support for ISIS.
