Malaysian authorities have opened an immigration-status review involving Network School, the community founded by Balaji Srinivasan, after social media accusations said it had housed Israeli citizens holding second passports. The country’s immigration department said checks confirmed that documents held by 266 foreign residents were valid, but added that the matter would remain under review if new evidence emerges. Srinivasan has since paused a $122 million expansion plan and is asking the government for written legal assurances. If those guarantees are not provided, he said he may withdraw the investment. The case places the project under regulatory scrutiny at a time when its future presence in Malaysia appears tied to the government’s next response.
