SAN FRANCISCO, Nov 17 — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has never made any remark categorising Hamas as a terrorist organisation, said Minister of Communications and Digital Fahmi Fadzil.
“What recent remark? He never said that, even in Parliament.
“This is insinuating (something) he has never insinuated. We condemn all acts of terrorism,” Fahmi, who is also the unity government spokesman, told the Malaysian media when asked about an allegation by the Concerned Lawyers for Justice (CLJ).
In a statement, CLJ claimed that Anwar has insinuated that Hamas is a terrorist organisation and it expressed its disappointment for the same.
“We call upon Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim to carefully consider the implications of his statements and to approach the matter with a balanced and informed perspective,” said the CLJ.
Fahmi is in San Francisco as part of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s delegation to the 30th Apec Economic Leaders Meeting, which ends today. — Bernama
Palestinisn
ReplyDeletePro-Palestinian groups should not pick on Anwar.
ReplyDeleteHe is their best friend in South East Asia.
Just look at the surrounding geography.
Singapore luvs Israel. Their Army commandos are Israel-trained. Their Tech sector has strong ties with the Israeli Tech sector.
Thailand, Phillipines and Vietnam have diplomatic relations with Israel. Many of their nationals work , or rather, used to work in Israel, before the latest hostilities.
They don't make a show of it, but all consider Israel a friend.
Indonesia supports Palestine, but their government hasn't gone everboard like Madani effing the Yanks in the process.
