PM Ismail Sabri Yaakob referred to Palestine saying Israel’s policies in the occupied territories are like apartheid. This has got the minorities in Malaysia rolling their eyes, saying what is different from here?
But after attacking the PM for mentioning apartheid in Israel while minorities claim they are facing political turmoils and economic hardship, the writer of a letter in Malaysiakini says:
“To be fair, Ismail Sabri’s speech was spot on – he said that Malaysia has always been a firm believer in all efforts and initiatives that promote peaceful coexistence between nations, different peoples, faiths and cultures.”
