KUALA LUMPUR: The interception of Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF) vessels and the detention of volunteers go against the spirit of compassion and humanity, says His Majesty Sultan Ibrahim, King of Malaysia.
His Majesty described the flotilla as a noble mission aimed at bringing relief to those suffering from hunger.
“The volunteers involved in the GSF, including Malaysians, had taken on risks and challenges to carry a message of humanity to the international stage.
“They were only on a humanitarian mission carrying food supplies, yet they were blocked and detained,” His Majesty said in a Facebook post yesterday.
His Majesty added that he had been briefed on the latest developments regarding the GSF, including Malaysia’s ongoing efforts to secure the volunteers’ release.
“May every noble effort currently being undertaken and mobilised by the government to assist our volunteers be eased and protected by Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala,” Sultan Ibrahim wrote.
Earlier, His Majesty granted an audience to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim at Istana Bukit Tunku here.
