Malaysia will consider giving extra aid to injured Palestinians if needed: Anwar

However, no discussions on the next phase of assistance, govt adopting calm and measured approach in the meantime, PM adds

KUALA LUMPUR – Malaysia will consider providing additional aid to support injured Palestinians if there is a need, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

He said, however, that there have been no discussions yet about the next phase of assistance for the injured Palestinians.

“Thus far, there has been no development on the next phase. The initial phase focused on providing medical care (injured Palestinians being brought to Malaysia), and those Palestinians who have (recovered) will be repatriated. We are adopting a calm and measured approach for the time being.

“Later, we will negotiate with Egypt (which has hosted Palestinians), as well as with Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Qatar. We will evaluate if further discussions are needed. For now, our priority is to ensure that the people are treated and healthy first. It is too early to make further decisions.

He said this to reporters after officiating the Malaysia Mosque for Al-Aqsa and Palestine (MM4AP) Conference, in conjunction with the International Day of the Mosque 2024, at the Kuala Lumpur Federal Territory Mosque this morning.

On August 15, Malaysia transported 41 injured Palestinians, including an eight-month-old baby, to receive further treatment at a military hospital in Kuala Lumpur. This humanitarian mission, operated by the Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF), flew the patients from Cairo to Kuala Lumpur.

Anwar today also expressed his disappointment with those who questioned the government’s efforts to bring injured Palestinians here for treatment.

He said he felt compelled to respond to a particular social media post which allegedly said: “If you bring in Palestinians, don’t bring them to Sarawak”.

“That is extremely rude and demonstrates a lack of basic humanity,” Anwar said.

The post is reportedly by a non-governmental organisation leader from Sarawak who uploaded a statement on Facebook questioning the government’s actions in bringing injured Palestinians to Malaysia.

“Where is humanity when racial or regional sentiments lead to such attitudes?” Anwar added.

“Fortunately, these are only small voices. We must not give them any attention, as allowing them to persist could lead to their proliferation and become detrimental.”

Meanwhile, the conference held today was also attended by the Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Religious Affairs) Datuk Mohd Na’im Mokhtar and his deputy, Zulkifli Hasan and Datuk Seri Ahmad Awang, co-chairman of the MM4AP.

About 1,000 representatives of mosques and NGOs, foreign envoys, scholars and observers from several countries also attended the conference. The event was organised by the Consultative Council of Islamic Organisations of Malaysia (Mapim), in collaboration with the Alliance of World Masjid in Defence of Al Aqsa and the Asian Ulama Council Secretariat. – August 25, 2024
