“Upon questioning, it was found that he had uploaded a video to TikTok, under the handle @pahlawan90, expressing his support for Israel.

I find it strange that it seems to be a crime to support Israel.
ReplyDeleteBut if it is supportive of Palestine, no harm?
What exactly is the crime for the video supporting Israel ?
ReplyDeleteJust like Komunis country where you get arrested just for uploading videos that are contrary to the Government policy.
Many pro-Jew shows on Netflix. Boleh tonton?
ReplyDeleteI have noticed several times that some HBO/ FOX movies that may touch on Middle East subject matter, possibly too deemed sensitive by Malaysia government, that appear in the movie schedule get removed at short notice.
DeleteA word that only the Chinese or those who truly understand Chinese can fathom.
ReplyDelete以事论事.
There is no exact translation but a try - judging the incidence by the current occurrence.
The current Israel/Palestine conflict must be observed in this manner. Otherwise, all the grandmother's stories r going to distort the truth, leaving the weeks & down troddens suffer in angers.
Thus perpetuate that hatred in that cursed land.
But can u guys do that?
