Anwar urges caution on calls to skip Rimpac war games that include Israel

NGOs led by BDS Malaysia have demanded Putrajaya withdraw from US-led maritime exercise

LABUAN – Malaysia must adopt a rational approach in responding to the calls from non-governmental organisations to withdraw from a US-led maritime military exercise that includes the participation of the Israeli army.

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim emphasised the need for thorough consideration of the matter and its potential implications.

“Our stance is firm; no country is as vocal as Malaysia on the Israel issue… we protest every day.

“We must act carefully and not be driven by anger sentiments… even during the previous Perikatan (Nasional) government, an Israeli ship docked at our port. 

“When we took over the government, we were the ones who stopped the Israeli ship from anchoring, despite facing criticism,” Anwar told reporters after visiting the Labuan roll-on roll-off ferry terminal here today.

Anwar stressed the government’s actions should not compromise the interests of the public and trade.

“If we were to follow the suggested approaches, we would need to halt the operations of companies like Microsoft, Google, Apple and Facebook,” he said.

“Malaysia will continue to voice out against the cruelty faced by the Palestinian people,” he added.

On May 30, 15 groups led by BDS Malaysia issued a joint statement demanding Malaysia’s immediate withdrawal from the Rim of the Pacific Exercise,or Rimpac, scheduled to take place from June 26 to August 2. – May 31, 2024
