In Malaysia, senior cleric Ahmad Awang condemned comparisons between alleged land encroachments for Hindu temples and Israel’s Zionist occupation of Gaza, warning against fueling religious tension. Speaking to Malaysiakini, the Malaysia Mosque for Al-Aqsa and Palestine co-chairperson called such rhetoric a dangerous tactic to stoke disharmony. “We know these strategies—playing up religious sentiments is risky, no matter who does it,” he said, rejecting parallels between the Dewi Sri Pathrakaliamman temple relocation dispute and geopolitical conflicts. Ahmad urged restraint, emphasizing Malaysia’s need for positive interfaith relations, amid debates over the temple’s move from Jalan Munshi Abdullah to a nearby site.
