Kuala Lumpur: Islamist party PAS today labelled claims made by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim that he had been threatened by certain European parliamentarians after speaking up for Palestinian rights in the Middle East as “strange” and “laughable”.
Its secretary-general Datuk Seri Takiyuddin Hassan said Malaysia’s firm stance supporting the Palestinian cause and criticising Israel is well known and is not new as former prime ministers were also very vocal on this issue.“But none of them had reported being ‘threatened’ due to their assertiveness and vocalness. Even Malaysia also has official relations with the Palestinian government and also Hamas under the previous leadership.

“Even more unfortunate, the claim was made in an event that should be fully dedicated to the struggle of the Palestinian people, not riding on it to show the ‘greatness’ of a leader.“In addition, it can also create a negative image of the country because the prime minister makes such random and imaginary allegations,” he added.
He did not disclose their identities or which member states of the European Union had issued threatening remarks against him, but said he would not be cowed.
