Dr Kelvin Yii, youth chief of the Democratic Action Party that is part of Malaysia’s unity government, voiced his solidarity with the Palestinian cause.
He said that it does not matter that he is Chinese and a Christian, and that he stands firm with Malaysia and the Muslim world in condemning Israel’s military actions.
“I am Chinese. I am a Christian. Today, I stand with the people of Palestine because this is a humanitarian cause. They have been brutalised by Israel’s military.
“It broke my heart when I learnt that hospitals there lack medicine and food, and their electricity was cut off. I was angered when I heard children were killed and schools were bombed,” said Dr Yii.
Other rally speakers included Umno Youth chief Akmal Saleh and Dr Siti Mastura Muhammad, director of the Ameerah NGO that is linked to the opposition Parti Islam SeMalaysia.
