The Malaysian Consultative Council of Islamic Organisation (Mapim) urges authorities to enhance surveillance and monitor any Israeli operations in Malaysia following the arrest of an Israeli citizen in Kuala Lumpur on Wednesday.
Mapim president Mohd Azmi Abdul Hamid said Malaysia has attracted Israel’s attention due to the country’s firm stance against the Jewish state.
“Malaysia stands out among the countries that strongly condemn Israel and spearheads international campaigns in support of Palestine.
“The Malaysian people are also actively opposed to Israel, including launching boycotts against Israeli products,” he said in a statement today.
Yesterday, Inspector-General of Police Razarudin Husain confirmed the arrest of an Israeli man with six pistols and 200 rounds of ammunition in a hotel on Jalan Ampang.
Razarudin said the 36-year-old man is believed to have entered Malaysia through the United Arab Emirates on March 12 using a French passport.
Azmi said the case is very serious and Mapim supports increasing the level of security for prominent figures, including Yang di-Pertuan Agong Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar and Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim.
