Anwar calls for decisive, consistent action on Gaza at Shangri-La Dialogue
SINGAPORE: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has urged the international community to act decisively and consistently in response to the genocide in Gaza. Delivering his Special Address at the 22nd Shangri-La Dialogue here, Anwar said the scale of devastation, blatant disregard for humanitarian norms, and the failure of global institutions to address the conflict effectively demand more than expressions of sympathy. "We must not allow selective outrage or strategic fatigue to dull our moral clarity. Indeed, the genocide in Gaza is a test of our collective conscience," he said on Saturday (May 31). Anwar also described the current global landscape, with the number of armed conflicts at its highest since the end of World War II, as a sobering moment in history. He stressed that Malaysia is under no illusions about the security challenges ahead, noting that lasting stability must be rooted in sound fundamentals, clear policies, and a long-term vision.
