Summary
U.S. investor and Network School founder Balaji Srinivasan criticized Malaysian authorities after an immigration inspection of his digital nomad community was launched in response to anonymous social media claims that Israelis were staying there illegally. The investigation found no violations, with all 266 foreign residents holding valid travel documents.

Srinivasan warned that the incident could undermine Malaysia’s ambition to become a global technology hub. He said he had suspended further investment plans until he receives assurances that similar actions based on unfounded allegations will not happen again, and requested a meeting with the Prime Minister’s Office.
