(Anwar Ibrahim Facebook pic)KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim and the Cabinet members today each signed a special postcard addressed to United Nations (UN) secretary-general Antonio Guterres.
Anwar, in a Facebook post, said the special postcards were aimed at conveying the wishes of Malaysians for Palestine to be made a full member state of the international body and to demand that violence and cruelty against the Palestinian people by the Zionist regime be stopped immediately.
“This special postcard will be submitted through Malaysia’s permanent representative to the UN. I hope this sincere voice of Malaysians gets serious attention from Guterres,” Bernama reported him as saying.
Anwar also said that Malaysians could participate in the campaign by buying the special postcards starting tomorrow and sending them to the UN secretary-general.
The communications ministry said in a statement that the postcards, which bear the wordings “We appeal for the UN to accept the State of Palestine as a full member. Ceasefire now!”, were signed by Anwar and the ministers before the Cabinet’s retreat today.
Palestine is currently recognised as a non-member observer state by the UN, a status granted by the organisation’s General Assembly on November 29, 2012.
The postcards can be purchased from all post offices at a price of RM2 each (including a 90 sen stamp) and the public can also make purchases online through Pos Malaysia Bhd’s official website https://shop.pos.com.my/. - FMT
