LONDON: The Malaysian Government will continue to support the Palestinian cause and will not yield to pressure from foreign powers on this issue, Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said.
He said as a sovereign nation, Malaysia’s stance should be respected, and Malaysia need not worry about potential pressure from foreign powers for being vocal and consistent in advocating for the rights of the Palestinian people. “We should not be worried because we have our principles in this matter, and we know that for 75 years, Palestine has been oppressed, and neocolonialism was carried out by major powers in denying Palestinian rights.
Also present were the Malaysian High Commissioner to the UK Datuk Zakri Jaafar, and Mara Chairman Datuk Dr Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki. Earlier, Ahmad Zahid, who is on a four-day working visit to the UK, also held meetings with several House of Lords and House of Commons members, including Rushanara Ali, Wajid Iltaf Khan, Baroness Uddin and Catherine West. “During the meetings, I also stressed Malaysia’s strong commitment to supporting the Palestinian struggle and urged the international community to set aside differences and work to alleviate the situation and provide humanitarian aid to the people in Palestine,” he said.
He said among information shared was how the UK government provides financial assistance to new entrepreneurs, such as tax incentives, to stimulate businesses in rural areas. Ahmad Zahid said the UK government has a prosperity fund of £180 million to support business activities, including rural economic diversification that provides startup financing and grants for new businesses.
