KUALA LUMPUR, June 19 — Malaysian Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has commended Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping for advocating peace and condemning atrocities against the people of Gaza, Iran and Lebanon.
Anwar said Malaysia has consistently taken a firm position against attacks by the Zionist regime while upholding its principles independently of any superpower.
“That’s why we took a very strong position against the initial attack by the Zionist regime, which was carried out with the support of the United States.
“We took a decision in Parliament, bipartisan, and continued to engage,” he said during an exclusive interview with Russian international television network RT.
The interview was held on the sidelines of his official visit to Kazan, Russia, where he attended the Commemorative Summit marking the 35th anniversary of Asean-Russia relations.
Anwar said he had also engaged with leaders from the Gulf, Pakistan and Türkiye, as well as Iran, as part of efforts to seek a fair resolution to the conflict.
Expressing hope that those efforts would yield a fair outcome, he said: “And that’s why I have publicly commended and thanked President Putin and President Xi Jinping for taking a position for peace and to condemn the atrocities against the people of Iran, Gaza and now Lebanon.”
He stressed that Malaysia and Asean uphold the principle of centrality rather than neutrality and would not remain silent in the face of atrocities.
“For Malaysia in particular, and of course for Asean, we don’t even use the word neutrality because we are not neutral when it comes to Gaza or the atrocities inflicted or the attack against Lebanon.
“So we use the term centrality. It means that we are not tied to any particular ideological position or superpower,” he said, adding that centrality did not prevent Asean from taking positions on human rights violations, abuses and atrocities committed against minorities.
Anwar said it was not easy to navigate such issues but Malaysia continued to take an independent view despite geopolitical concerns involving major powers.
The prime minister also criticised what he described as Western hypocrisy in condoning Israel’s actions.
“How do you then condone a position taken by a country like Israel, and then backed by the United States, to attack another independent nation or country?
“And the ramifications and repercussions spread all over the Gulf, and now the international community. I’m not talking about the economic hardships because of the war. I’m talking about the core principle.
“Do we condone this? Or can we allow this sort of hypocrisy to persist in this small, modern, civilised world?” he said.
Anwar said while some may criticise Iran over its response, there should not be silence over the aggression against the country.
“But why is there complete silence when it comes to the atrocities, the aggression against Iran? So you see, there is this contradiction, which I call hypocrisy, that must be stopped,” he said. — Bernama

Oh dearie me, my visitor 'Monsterball' will be most annoyed at PMX for the temerity in criticising the Wanks, wakakaka
PMX sudah lupa mangsa MH17.
ReplyDeleteA Dutch court found two Russians—Igor Girkin and Sergey Dubinskiy—and a Ukrainian separatist—Leonid Kharchenko—guilty of the murder of the 298 people aboard flight MH17. In 2022, they were sentenced in absentia to life in prison by the District Court of The Hague.The court conclusively established that Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 was shot down on July 17, 2014, by a Russian-made Buk surface-to-air missile. The weapon was supplied by Russia and fired by pro-Russian separatist forces operating in eastern Ukraine under Russian command and control.
The court acquitted a fourth suspect, Russian national Oleg Pulatov, due to a lack of evidence. The European Court of Human Rights and the International Civil Aviation Organization have separately concluded that the Russian state bears ultimate responsibility for the destruction of the aircraft. Because the convicted individuals remain protected by Russia and were tried in absentia, they have not yet served their sentences.
I am most annoyed at "Rear Admiral" Madani arse-licking the War Criminal Bloodimir Putin.
ReplyDeleteMalaysia has not only been silent on atrocities perpetrated by Russia against the people of Ukraine, the abject toadying of Anwar to Putin's Russia is painful to see, humiliating.
ReplyDeleteOh Dear, another suspicious Death....this Air Force Commander thoy he Could Fly....
ReplyDelete🇷🇺🧐The first one’s gone.
In Moscow, Lieutenant General Sergei Kobylaš, commander of the Russian Air Force, accidentally fell out of a window.

The claim has circulated on social media, but there is no verified evidence, official government statement, or credible journalistic coverage confirming his death. The narrative appears to be an unverified rumor or internet satire, likely riffing on the dark trope of Kremlin-linked figures suffering mysterious accidental falls.

Smoke engulfs Moscow skyline after refinery hit by drone
Specks of black oil have rained down on part of Moscow after a refinery was hit during the largest Ukrainian attack since the start of the full-scale war, with close to 200 drones fired towards the Russian capital.
Columns of thick smoke billowed high into the sky and 17 people were wounded in the Moscow region, according to local governor Andrei Vorobyov.
Residents in the south-east of Moscow region told the BBC that a fine drizzle had left "unpleasant black spots" on their clothes.
Moscow authorities denied that any "oil rain" had been falling.
However, the city's official Telegram channel warned residents of the affected district to keep their windows closed and said families with children, elderly people and asthmatics should urgently leave the area.
Almost 1,000 drones and four Ukrainian cruise missiles were intercepted and destroyed across the country in 24 hours, Russia's defence ministry was quoted as saying. An oil depot was struck in the southern Rostov region, where one person was killed.
Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelensky said the drone strike was an answer to last week's Russian attack on Kyiv, which set ablaze a major religious landmark, the Pechersk Lavra monastery.
"We don't want this war and have never wanted it," Zelensky said. "But if Ukraine burns, your Moscow will burn too."
In response, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said strikes on Ukraine would be delivered "on a mass scale", adding he had been "convinced for a long time that words are not enough".
Black smoke billows over the Moscow ringroad from a fire at a Moscow oil refineryReuters
The fire at the Kapotnya refinery was visible to motorists on the Moscow ringroad
Fires broke out as the Kapotnya refinery in south-east Moscow was hit for the third time in a month and the second time this week, colouring the sky black with smoke. Several clips show the particularly dramatic moment the top of a large silo was blown off by a huge explosion, sending the roof of the oil storage tank flying dozens of metres into the air.
A nearby shopping centre also caught fire, reportedly after drone debris fell on the building. In a video verified by the BBC, a drone can be seen crashing into the upper floors of a high-rise building, with glass and debris raining down its facade and into the courtyard beneath.
In another verified video, a thick, dark, oily sheen could be seen coating the tarmac of a car park, while the ground beneath parked vehicles remains clear.
"As soon as I stepped out of my apartment building, there was this fine, light drizzle," one local woman told the BBC.
She noticed "unpleasant black spots" on her clothes and her friend's jacket, too, "ended up covered in black specks," she added. "We'll now be keeping an eye on whether our hair starts falling out because of petroleum products."
Moscow's four airports were temporarily shut and more than 500 flights were cancelled or delayed.
