Malaysia will continue to spread the message of peace on the international stage even if its views differ from other countries, said Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob.
He cited his move to voice the country’s stand on the fate of Palestinians to United States President Joe Biden during his visit to the US in May, as an example of this.
“Although we know the US standard on Palestine, it will not stop Malaysia from being brave in stating our stand against Israel’s cruelty, on US soil,” he said.
Ismail Sabri was speaking during an interview celebrating the one-year anniversary of Keluarga Malaysia that was aired on all local TV channels, including Bernama TV, yesterday.
The prime minister was asked about his role in conveying Malaysia’s voice, especially in relating the country’s desire for justice for all and wanting the best for humanity to the global community.
On the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, he said Malaysia was of the view that the situation needed to be resolved at the negotiating table.
“Although we disagree with Russia, that there is no right to attack other countries, we stress more on the need for both countries to be brought to the negotiating table to find a peaceful solution,” he added.
He said the conflict would not only affect Ukrainians, especially those who have become refugees, but also impact other countries not directly involved in the conflict.
Ismail Sabri pointed out that the dwindling supply of certain products, rising inflation, and spikes in prices of goods were clear indications of how the conflict impacted others globally.
