KUALA LUMPUR: Communications Minister Datuk Fahmi Fadzil has called on all television and radio stations nationwide to air the recitation of the Qunut Nazilah during their prime slots, as a show of solidarity and prayer for the safety of Malaysian volunteers and the Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF).
He said the initiative follows the latest developments involving the Zionist Israeli regime, which blatantly violated international law by illegally intercepting and detaining GSF participants.
"The prayers and solidarity of Malaysians are crucial in facing this difficult time," he said in a statement on Thursday (Oct 2).
At the same time, Fahmi instructed the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) to step up monitoring of all online content related to the conflict.
"Firm and immediate action will be taken against any attempt to spread Zionist propaganda or seditious narratives that could undermine public harmony and sensitivities," he said.
Fahmi also urged Malaysians to refer to information issued by the Foreign Ministry and other verified sources, including the official channel of the Sumud Nusantara Command Centre (NSCC) operated by the Malaysian Consultative Council for Islamic Organisation (MAPIM), to prevent the spread of false or unverified news.
As of 7.50am Malaysian time on Thursday, 12 Malaysians have been confirmed detained by Israeli forces after their ships entered the R3 red zone in Gaza waters last night. - Bernama
