The media acts as a vital, fourth pillar of democracy by informing citizens, shaping public opinion, and serving as a watchdog over institutions. It provides crucial, timely information, fosters public debate, educates the public, and offers entertainment, while also driving social change and connecting diverse communities.
The media play a central role in informing the public about what happens in the world, particularly in those areas in which audiences do not possess direct knowledge or experience.
Hence, MEDIA fails in its duties, if it ONLY presents reports that are BIASED in favour of government, or any dominant government like US/Israel or any government. It should only provide the TRUTH, and also the differing perspectives, and never try to manipulate public opinion.
Remember how the UN and many of its member States rightly did want to lay blame on HAMAS at the begining, despite US and Israel's insistence that it was HAMAS. All UN was ready to state was that the perpetrators was some Palestinian armed groups in Gaza - and this was the RIGHT position to take. Was it a 'Palestinian armed groups in Gaza under Israeli control/influence? Was it a 'Palestinian armed groups in Gaza' that was part of HAMAS or acting under orders from HAMAS? Well, the truth would only be established after the perpetrators were arrested and tried, and proper investigations found evidence of the the 'alleged perpetrators' - sadly, at the end of the day, the UN and many UN member States, shifted their position and accepted the US and Israel narrative ...
On 7 October 2023, Palestinian armed groups in Gaza launched thousands of rockets toward Israel and breached through the perimeter fence of Gaza at multiple locations, entering into Israeli towns and killing and capturing Israeli forces and civilians. The Israeli military declared “a state of war alert,” and began striking targets in the Gaza Strip, including residential buildings and health care facilities. Since then, thousands of people have been killed and more than one million have been displaced, as parts of Gaza have been reduced to rubble. =https://www.un.org/en/situation-in-occupied-palestine-and-israel
Now, when Israel invaded Palestine, and caused DEATH and DESTRUCTION to the Palestinian people in Gaza and West Bank - the justification was Israel's Right to Defend itself (something that sadly Malaysia's PM also sadly(and wrongly) ADMITTED in a live international media interview) - was that a justification for what Israel (and its 'crony' US did) - including the continuous killing, now more than 70,000 Palestinians are dead.
More than 70,000 Palestinians have been killed as a result of Israel's military campaign in Gaza, according to the territory's Hamas-run health ministry. The death toll has continued to rise since a ceasefire took effect on 10 October, with Israel carrying out air strikes for what it says are violations of the truce - while bodies continue to be recovered from under the rubble. - BBC, 30/11/2025
We recall the War on Iraq, where the narrative then was because Iraq had 'weapons of mass destruction(WMD)' but after the war, there was NO WMD at all. Media reporting and 'bias' was a concern. So, thereafter trusting US or even western nations is DIFFICULT..
Of late, US attacked Venezuela, ended up kidnapping and taking its President(and wife). It was most embarrassing how the Western Nations and the world reacted. Did the United Nations even come out condemning US Actions?
Then, CUBA was targeted, amongst other the cutting of petroleum supply to the country - and that has caused great suffering to Cuba.
Then US 'wanted' GREENLAND - this solicited some response from European states.
Now, the unprovoked 'act of war' by US(and Israel) on Iran - it is not the FIRST TIME that Iran has been attacked but IRAN had thus far patiently avoided declaring WAR on US/Iran. This time, Iran responded by attacking/bombing US military installation in Middle East.
Then Iran retaliated, and some may be confused as to why Iran attacked other Middle-East Countries - simple because there are US military bases there, and may have been used by Us/Israel when they attacked Iran... so the following are from AI generated info (so, you still need to check and verify the truth)
As of March 2026, the United States maintains a significant military presence in the Middle East, with roughly 40,000–50,000 troops and over 19 key facilities across countries including Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, and Jordan. These bases support Air Force, Navy, and Army operations, focusing on regional stability, counter-terrorism, and logistical support.Key US Military Bases in the Middle East:
- Qatar: Al Udeid Air Base is the largest U.S. base in the region, serving as the forward headquarters for U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM).
- Bahrain: Hosts the headquarters of the U.S. Navy's Fifth Fleet, crucial for maritime security in the Gulf and Red Sea.
- Kuwait: Key sites include Camp Arifjan (U.S. Army Central forward headquarters) and Ali Al Salem Air Base.
- UAE: Al Dhafra Air Base hosts U.S. Air Force combat and reconnaissance units.
- Saudi Arabia: Prince Sultan Air Base hosts U.S. personnel for air defense and anti-missile operations.
- Jordan: Muwaffaq Salti Air Base is a central hub for operations in the Levant.
- Iraq: Key locations include Ayn al-Asad Airbase and Erbil Air Base.
- Syria: Small, temporary bases are maintained, particularly in the eas
Iran has targeted United States assets across the Gulf Arab states in retaliation for a huge joint attack on Iran by the US and Israel, sparking fears of a regional conflagration.
The Iranian government on Saturday confirmed its attacks on several targets, according to the Fars news agency, including Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates, where airbases with US assets are hosted. - Al Jazeera, 28/2/2026
What was US 'justification' for the attack on IRAN?
According to President Trump, the United States attacked Iran because the Islamic Republic posed “imminent threats” to the U.S. and its allies, including through its use of terrorist proxies and continued pursuit of nuclear weapons.“Its menacing activities directly endanger the United States, our troops, our bases overseas and our allies throughout the world,” he said in a recorded statement Saturday....According to leading Democrats in Congress, Trump’s justification is questionable, especially given his claims of having “completely obliterated” Iran’s nuclear capabilities in separate U.S. bombings last June.
The debate echoed a similar if less immediate one around President George W. Bush’s decision to go to war in Iraq after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, also based on claims that “weapons of mass destruction” posed an immediate threat. Those claims were later disproved by multiple findings that Iraq had no such arsenal, fueling recriminations from both political parties for years. - Los Angeles Times, 1/3/2026The only body who has a right to investigate and maybe even ACT against member States is the UNITED NATIONS - it cannot anymore be an individual Country, even the US, acting on its own attacking other sovereign nations, kidnapping/killing its leaders.
2nd - With regard to Nuclear Weapons - Who empowered US to police the 'nuclear issue' - Has the US got RID of its OWN Nuclear weapon.
What nonsense, for US and Israel, both countries with NUCLEAR WEAPON to even prevent other nations from getting their own NUCLEAR WEAPONS?
Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons - The NPT is a landmark international treaty whose objective is to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons and weapons technology, to promote cooperation in the peaceful uses of nuclear energy and to further the goal of achieving nuclear disarmament and general and complete disarmament. The Treaty represents the only binding commitment in a multilateral treaty to the goal of disarmament by the nuclear-weapon States. Opened for signature in 1968, the Treaty entered into force in 1970. On 11 May 1995, the Treaty was extended indefinitely. A total of 191 States have joined the Treaty, including the five nuclear-weapon States. More countries have ratified the NPT than any other arms limitation and disarmament agreement, a testament to the Treaty’s significance.
Now, the question is whether US and nuclear weapon States have disarmed their nuclear weapons - so that there are NO MORE Nuclear Weapons.
The number of States which have nuclear weapons is said to have increased. One allegations is that NUCLEAR WEAPON STATES have been placing Nuclear Weapons in other countries - which a GROSS Violation of the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons Treaty - Israel, for example, who did not previously have Nuclear Weapons may today have Nuclear Weapons, and the question that must be is HOW did this happen, and what has been done the United Nations to prevent new States having Nuclear weapons...
As of early 2026, European nations with nuclear weapons placed in their country includeBelgium, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, and Turkey, which host United States nuclear weapons as part of NATO nuclear sharing agreements. Additionally Belarus hosts Russian nuclear weapons.The four countries currently possessing nuclear weapons that are not parties to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) are India, Israel, Pakistan, and North Korea.
The problem, when countries who are considered 'enemies' or 'risk' to certain neighboring countries have Nuclear Weapons, would it not be reasonable for these countries also to acquire Nuclear Weapons.
The issue of building nuclear power capacity, could be for other purposes NOT necessarily for weapons development. BUT which countries have been targeted by the UN - requiring inspection - Has the UN ever asked Israel to get rid of their Nuclear Weapons...or disarm?
BEWARE - do not be 'duped' by pro-US or pro-Israel Media and information out there... Many of them appear to be 'BIAS' - and we are not getting BOTH SIDES of the story... Remember much of the Internet are controlled by US - Google, and even AI?
Many Malaysian Media must also be careful not to deceive the Malaysian reader - by just giving the Trump or Pro-US narrative or relying on some questionable western media reports... Work harder, find out the TRUTH and report it to the Malaysian public...in an unbiased manner...
Malaysians will understand this attempt to 'manipulate information' today - because it may also be happening in Malaysia too - when post/accounts of some are being blocked/cancelled... but there is a still suspicions, that other than pornography, online gambling, the other posts/accounts may be also blocked because maybe they are comments or news that are critical or disappointed with PM Anwar and his MADANI government ...
A Malaysiakini investigation has uncovered a network of at least 263 accounts engaging in a coordinated campaign to artificially boost support for Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim on his official Facebook page. - Anwar & MADANI - stop violating our right to freedom of expression, freedom to communicate with others, and FREEDOM to have a different view from PM Anwar and the TRUTH? The Murray Hunter saga...

Part 1: Investigation: Network of 263 ‘cybertroopers’ boosts Anwar's FB support
Part 2: Deception and data: Inside the investigation of pro-Anwar CIB network
Part 3: Experts: Systemic challenges enable persistent influence networks
Did Malaysian government even investigate these ALLEGATIONS - I do not think there was any OFFICIAL denial by Anwar or the MADANI government of attempting to 'manipulate public perception.'
After the WW II, the United Kingdom effectively retained control over Iran’s oil through the establishment of the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company.
This arrangement changed abruptly in 1951 when the Iranian parliament, led by Mosaddegh’s nationalist and democratically elected government, voted to nationalize the country’s oil industry.
1953 coup in Iran, coup d’état in Iran that occurred in August 1953. Funded by the United States and the United Kingdom, it removed Mohammad Mosaddegh from power and restored Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi as Iran’s leader. Some 300 people died during fighting in Tehrān ...With its strategic location and vast oil reserves, Iran was of special interest to the United States, the United Kingdom, and other powers...After the war, the United Kingdom effectively retained control over Iran’s oil through the establishment of the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company.
The United States took the leading role in a covert operation, called Operation Ajax, whereby CIA-funded agents were used to foment unrest inside Iran by way of the harassment of religious and political leaders and a media disinformation campaign. These efforts, formally approved by President Dwight D. Eisenhower. came to a head in August 1953 when Mosaddegh and his government were overthrown and Mohammad Reza, a pro-Western monarch, was returned to power. It is generally agreed today that the 1953 coup sowed the seeds for the Islamic Revolution of 1979, in which the shah was overthrown and went into exile. - Britannica
After the ousting of the Shah, a Constitution was drafted, and a public Referendum was conducted, where the support of the people was obtained in 1979.
Thereafter, there was amendment to the Constitution, and another Public Referendum was conducted whereby on 28 July 1989 whereby it was approved by 97.6% of voters.
In short, the system of government of IRAN was approved by a overwhelming majority of the people of IRAN - thus US and/or any other nation has no right to question the system of government in Iran. The referendum was not about simply Parliamentary approval, but it was approved by the people of IRAN.
There is DEMOCRATIC elections by the people in IRAN
The Guardian Council (also called Council of Guardians or Constitutional Council, is a 12-member council. The Council is composed of Islamic clerics and lawyers. Membership is for phased six-year terms: half the membership changes every three years. The Supreme Leader of Iran directly appoints the six clerics, and may dismiss them at will. The Chief Justice of Iran nominates six lawyers for confirmation by the Islamic Consultative Assembly.
The constitution of the Islamic Republic gives the council three mandates:
- a) veto power over legislation passed by the Islamic Consultative Assembly;
- b) supervision of elections; and
- c) approving or disqualifying candidates seeking to run in local, parliamentary, presidential, or Assembly of Experts elections.
"The president must be elected from among religious and political personalities who are of Iranian origin, have Iranian nationality, administrative capacity, resourcefulness and a good track record, are trustworthy and pious, and have a firm belief in the fundamental principles of the Islamic Republic of Iran and the country's official religion," stressed the spokesman(Iran's Constitutional Council spokesman Hadi Tahan Nazif ), citing Iran's Constitution. - Xihua, 4/6/2024
In Malaysia too, at one time the King had the power to block laws passed by Dewan Rakyat and Senate - but NO MORE, as Parliament blocked the power of King/Rulers to block the passing of laws.
Qualification of candidates standing for election - Malaysian law sets out the qualifications. Even in the choosing of judges today, we have certain requirements.
NOW, no country have any right to question what the Iranian people decided themselves - through a PUBLIC REFERENDUM - RIGHT OF SELF DETERMINATION???
I highlighted how the Iranian DEMOCRACY works - so that people will not be confused by some media narratives that it is simply a Theocratic State > the people elected Assembly of Experts picks the Supreme Leader - and also has the power of removal.
Of course, Constitutions may be good - is it operating as per Constitution???
SO, why did US and Israel launch 'WAR' on IRAN on its own? WAS it really just all about 'REGIME CHANGE' - to put into power some "US-friendly and obedient" government into power? Was it all about OIL 'Theft'?
Historically, US also likes regimes that are 'LOYAL" to the US - and this 'REGIME CHANGE" agenda has been ongoing for so long, and it may be violation of the peoples' right of self determination, and their right to the government/leaders of their choice.
AS MENTIONED, today we are in a position that we cannot anymore RELY on Media, even those who once had CREDIBILITY of being an honest unbiased media. This loss of reputation happened during the IRAQ war, when most MEDIA tried to justify US-led actions who talked about 'Weapons of Mass Destruction" - but then it was all a LIE, and there was NO WMDs - MEDIA CREDIBILITY got shattered.
What about PM Anwar Ibrahim's response to the US and Israel ILLEGAL attack of Iran, that resulted in the killing of its leaders.
Yes, it was raised in Parliament - but it would have been better if the Malaysian Parliament had passed a clearly worded RESOLUTION condeming both US and Israel... , which was voted on and supported by ALL or an overwhelming majority in Parliament...
Anwar's response also lacked a strong condemnation of US, although it was reported that he spoke out strongly against Israel...
“Malaysia strongly condemns the assault on Iran by the US and Zionist regime,” he said during a special communication session... The Tambun MP then slammed Israel as the only country allowed to act with impunity, citing Tel Aviv’s assault on several countries in the last four years alone.
But sadly, it looks like Anwar did not condemn the US, who is a country that for decades been acting with IMPUNITY - Venezuela, Cuba and now IRAN.
All Anwar seem to have called for is a 'ceasefire' and a return to negotiation.
Will Malaysia lead, and table a UN General Assembly resolution, alone or with others, condemning the actions of US in Venezuela, Cuba and IRAN, and condemning the US-Israel 'attack' of IRAN?
Did Malaysia send any PROTEST NOTES to US to date?
Will Malaysia 're-evaluate' its relationship with US?
Even, in Malaysia's first OFFICIAL response, it said '..Malaysia strongly condemns the attacks against Iran and the subsequent retaliatory attacks against several countries in the region namely Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, and Qatar on 28 February 2026.' Oddly, it did not name the US and Israel as being the countries that attacked IRAN.. neither did it mention that the retaliatory attacks were targetting US military bases...in the said attacks????
What do Malaysians want the Malaysian Government to do now? Is mere 'condemnation' sufficient?

How the world has reacted to US and Israeli strikes on Iran
Tom McArthur
Getty ImagesTehran and other cities in Iran were hit by air strikes on Saturday morning American and Israeli forces have carried out strikes on cities across Iran, in what US President Donald Trump has described as "major combat operations".
Trump called for the Iranian people to rise up and government forces to surrender following what Israel called a "preemptive attack". He later said Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed, which was confirmed by Iranian state TV.
Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said it was responding to the strikes by targeting US bases and assets across the Middle East as part of operation "Truthful Promise 4".
This comes after weeks of threats and negotiations over Iran's nuclear programme.
Here is how the international community is reacting.
UN Secretary General, Antonio Guterres, condemned the military escalation, and warned that international peace and security were being undermined.
"The use of force by the United States and Israel against Iran, and the subsequent retaliation by Iran across the region, undermine international peace and security," he said in a statement.
"I call for an immediate cessation of hostilities and de-escalation. Failing to do so risks a wider regional conflict with grave consequences for civilians and regional stability."
At an emergency UN Security Council meeting in New York on Saturday afternoon, US Ambassador Mike Waltz said the strikes were "directed toward specific and strategic objectives: to dismantle missile capabilities that threaten allies, to degrade naval assets used to destabilise international waters, and to disrupt the machinery that arms proxy militias and to ensure the Iranian regime, never ever can threaten the world with a nuclear weapon".
Israeli Ambassador Danny Danon said: "Israel together with the United States acted to stop an existential threat to Israel, to our allies, and to global stability.
"When a regime chants 'death to Israel,' 'Death to America', we take it seriously. We believe them and we act. Our objectives are clear."
Russia, Iran's ally, condemned the strikes. "The aggression that Iran was subjected to today has already resulted in an escalation in the region and could spill over far beyond its borders," Russian Ambassador Vasily Nebenzia warned.
Moscow earlier called on the international community to assess what it called "irresponsible actions aimed at undermining peace, stability, and security" in the Middle East.
Oman's Foreign Minister Badr Albusaidi - who had been mediating this week's US-Iran nuclear talks - said he was "dismayed".
"Active and serious negotiations have yet again been undermined," he wrote on X, telling the US that the strikes don't serve their interests or that of global peace. "I urge the United States not to get sucked in further. This is not your war."
Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi blasted the joint US and Israel strikes as "wholly unprovoked, illegal, and illegitimate".
In a post on X he said that Trump has turned "America First into Israel First - which always means America Last".
Saudi Arabia condemned Iran's retaliatory attacks on Bahrain, the UAE, Qatar, Jordan and Kuwait as it denounced in the "strongest terms blatant Iranian aggression".
"The Kingdom [of Saudi Arabia] affirms its full solidarity with and unwavering support for the brotherly countries, and its readiness to place all its capabilities at their disposal in support of any measures they may undertake," the foreign ministry said in a statement.
Watch: How US-Israel strikes on Iran unfolded in 90 seconds A joint statement by French President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer also urged Iran to "seek a negotiated solution".
The statement, posted on X by the German Embassy in London, said the countries had consistently urged the Iranian regime to end its nuclear and missile programs, refrain from "destabilising activity", and to stop the "appalling violence and repression against its own people".
"We did not participate in these strikes," the three leaders said, adding they are in contact with international partners, including the US, Israel and others in the region.
"We urge the Iranian leadership to seek a negotiated solution. Ultimately, the Iranian people must be allowed to determine their future," they said.
Sir Keir said British planes were "in the sky today" in the Middle East as part of "co-ordinated regional defensive operations to protect our people, our interests and our allies".
Previously, Macron said the "outbreak" carries "grave consequences for international peace and security" and warned that ongoing escalation is "dangerous for all".
"France also stands ready to deploy the necessary resources to protect its closest partners at their request," he added.
Germany said it was informed of the attack in advance, and that Chancellor Merz consulted with relevant security ministers.
Kaja Kallas, the European Union's (EU) top diplomat, called the latest developments "perilous".
"The EU has adopted strong sanctions against Iran and supported diplomatic solutions, including on the nuclear issue," she said in a statement on X, adding she has spoken to Israel's and other regional foreign ministers.
"Protection of civilians and international humanitarian law is a priority."
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni's office said it would be consulting allies and regional leaders to support efforts to ease tensions.
In a statement, Brazil's government condemned the US and Israeli attacks and expressed "grave concern".
Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said his country backed the US "acting to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon and to prevent Iran continuing to threaten international peace and security".
UN Human Rights Chief Volker Türk called for restraint and urged all parties "to see reason, to de-escalate, and for a return to the 'negotiating table'".
"As always, in any armed conflict, it is civilians who end up paying the ultimate price," he said, before reminding those involved that protecting civilians is "paramount" under international law.
Earlier on Saturday, Trump posted a lengthy video on his Truth Social website, confirming US involvement:
"Our objective is to defend the American people by eliminating imminent threats from the Iranian regime," he said, adding that Washington's aim is to "ensure that Iran does not obtain a nuclear weapon".
He also told the Iranian people to remain in shelter and not leave their homes.
"When we are finished, take over your government," he said. "It will be yours to take. This will be probably your only chance for generations."
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu similarly called on all Iranian people "to throw off the yoke of tyranny and bring about a free and peaceful Iran".
Thanking Trump, he reiterated his message that Iran "must not be armed with nuclear weapons that would allow it to threaten all of humanity".
"Our joint action will create the conditions for the courageous Iranian people to take their destiny into their own hands." - BBC
Anwar condemns US and Israel strikes on Iran in Dewan Rakyat, calls for ceasefire
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim used this morning’s parliamentary session to denounce the United States and Israel’s military strikes on Iran, calling them a blatant breach of international law and reiterating his demand for an immediate ceasefire. — Bernama picMonday, 02 Mar 2026 11:56 AM MYTKUALA LUMPUR, March 2 — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim in Parliament this morning condemned the US and Israel’s attack on Iran, blasting it as a flagrant violation of international law as he repeated calls for a ceasefire.
“Malaysia strongly condemns the assault on Iran by the US and Zionist regime,” he said during a special communication session.
“Iran is a free and sovereign state and no matter what your differences are, what they are doing goes against global order,” the Tambun MP added.
Iran’s Red Crescent society said that joint strikes by the US and Israel, which began on Saturday, killed at least 201 people and wounded more than 700.
From the 201 killed, most were children.
The bombardment happened despite reports suggesting ongoing positive talks between Tehran and Washington regarding the latter’s nuclear programme.
Anwar said that as a small and middle power nation, Malaysia can only call for an immediate and unconditional ceasefire even as he called the attacks on Iran barbaric and illegal.
The Tambun MP then slammed Israel as the only country allowed to act with impunity, citing Tel Aviv’s assault on several countries in the last four years alone.
“Should there be any grounds for dispute, they must return to the negotiating table in a constructive manner,” the Pakatan Harapan chairman told Parliament.
“The global order, including the United Nations —with the recent statement by Secretary-General Guterres—clearly binds member states to abide by international law,” he said.
“Yet, Israel is the only country that continuously violates international resolutions. Today it is Iran, yesterday Lebanon, and before that Iraq and Syria, while the slaughter of the people of Palestine and Gaza continues to this day,” Anwar added.
Anwar’s condemnation of the attacks received bipartisan support.
Opposition Leader Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainudin said the prime minister should be commended for unequivocally slamming Washington and Israel for what he described as an inhuman attack on Iran.
“I would like to praise and congratulate the government, especially Tambun, for a stern and firm statement opposing Zionist cruelty,” Hamzah said.
Another opposition lawmaker suggested Malaysia could also be the victim of forced regime change, which Anwar concurred with.
“We are aware that when we dare to speak up for what is right, we may also invite problems, including economic challenges arising from geopolitical developments,” he said.
“We may differ in opinion here, we battle during elections and in this house, but we must not allow foreign countries or foreign companies to be used to carry out sabotage,” the Tambun MP added. - Malay Mail, 2/3/2026
MALAYSIA STRONGLY CONDEMNS ATTACKS AGAINST THE ISLAMIC
REPUBLIC OF IRAN AND RETALIATORY ATTACKS AGAINST SEVERAL
COUNTRIES IN WEST ASIA
Malaysia strongly condemns the attacks against Iran and the subsequent retaliatory attacks against several countries in the region namely Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, and Qatar on 28 February 2026. The attacks violate the principles of sovereignty and territorial integrity, as well as the prohibition against the use of force under the Charter of the United Nations and international law. Such unilateral military measures risk further destabilising an already fragile region and endangering civilian lives.
At this critical juncture, all parties must exercise maximum restraint to prevent further escalation that could destabilise the region and carry wider global consequences. Malaysia reiterates that disputes must be resolved through dialogue and diplomacy, in full respect of international law.
Malaysia calls on the international community, including the United Nations, to take urgent and decisive action to de-escalate the situation, and restore peace and stability in the region.
