Malaysia Condemns Israeli Zionist Regime's Plan To Take Over Gaza
PUTRAJAYA, Aug 6 (Bernama) -- Malaysia has condemned in no uncertain terms the Israeli Zionist regime's latest decision to launch a full military takeover of Gaza. Malaysia also calls on all nations to unequivocally reject Israel's apartheid policies. In a statement, the Malaysian Foreign Ministry said this calculated and unconscionable move signals a clear intention by the regime to permanently occupy Palestinian lands, in flagrant violation of international law and flouting the principles of basic human rights and justice. bootstrap slideshow 'After 22 months of relentless bombings, siege, and the forced displacement of over 90 per cent of Gaza's population, the move is intended to put an end to the two-state solution. 'If Israel is allowed to continue, its actions will put an end to the peace process and deny the rights of the Palestinian people to self-determination,' the statement read. Urging all nations to unequivocally reject Israel's apartheid policies, Malaysia also said immediate and concrete actions must be taken towards recognising the state of Palestine based on the pre-1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital. 'Malaysia also calls on all nations to secure a permanent ceasefire, the full withdrawal of Israeli Zionist regime's forces from Gaza, immediately end all blockade of humanitarian access, and ensure unimpeded access to humanitarian aid and the full entry of the State of Palestine as a member of the United Nations,' the statement read. Earlier, Malaysia's Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim in his Facebook post said the country's commitment to defending the rights of the Palestinian people remains firm, not only through strong statements on the international stage, but also by working closely with regional and global leaders. -- BERNAMA

Anwar: ACWA Power investment to boost Malaysia's green energy drive
KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has welcomed Saudi Arabian firm ACWA Power's decision to choose Malaysia as its main hub in Southeast Asia. Anwar, in a post on Facebook, said the global leader in renewable energy and green hydrogen is expected to collaborate with local partners to spearhead major energy projects. "This is another positive development resulting from the close Malaysia-Saudi Arabia cooperation, particularly following my meeting with the founder of ACWA Power during the Asean-GCC Summit (in May). "This investment recognises Malaysia's energy transition policy, creates high-skilled job opportunities, and drives technology transfer," he said. Anwar added that ACWA Power is now forging a strategic partnership with Tenaga Nasional Bhd, UEM Lestra and Terengganu Inc. to develop renewable energy, hydrogen and combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) projects, in line with the National Energy Transition Roadmap (NETR). This commitment, he said, further strengthens Malaysia's position as a key player in sustainable energy in the region and supports efforts towards a low-carbon economy.
