PETALING JAYA: The government has decided to prohibit vessels from Israel-based shipping company, ZIM, from docking at any Malaysian port.
Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said the transport ministry would take immediate action by imposing a permanent ban on the company, effective four weeks from now.
“This restriction is a response to Israel’s actions that disregard basic humanitarian principles and violate international law through continuous massacres and atrocities against Palestinian citizens,” he said in a statement.
He said the Cabinet had begun allowing ships owned by ZIM to dock in Malaysia in 2002.
