Since Sarawak Report's damaging revelations about 1MDB, its London-based editor Clare Rewcastle-Brown has earned the ire of the Malaysian government.

Government leaders have accused her of conspiring with Dr Mahathir Mohamad to topple Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak while the Malaysian police have also issued an arrest warrant against her.

Now, a government-linked source shared with Malaysiakini screenshots of emails that purportedly showed Sarawak Report receiving instructions on its reporting and payment arrangements.

However, Rewcastle-Brown, claimed the emails were fabricated.
