KUALA LUMPUR: Information that implies hedge fund billionaire George Soros is funding local civil society groups and a news portal must be investigated, says Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi (pic). The Deputy Prime Minister said the investigation must also be done empirically, by means of observation and scientific experimentation. "I did not make this up as Bersih chairman 2.0 Maria Chin Abdullah admitted that they received funding from OSF," said Liang. The meeting was attended by, among others, OSF president Christopher Stone and Merdeka Centre for Opinion Research director Ibrahim Suffian. The document stated that OSF was mostly involved in giving grants to Malaysian civil society groups on election-related work.
