COMMUNICATIONS and Digital Minister Fahmi Fadzil said Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has never made any remark categorising Hamas as a terrorist organisation. 

“What recent remark? He never said that, even in parliament. 

“This is insinuating (something) he has never insinuated. We condemn all acts of terrorism,” Fahmi, who is also the unity government spokesman, told the media when asked about an allegation by Concerned Lawyers for Justice (CLJ). 

In a statement, CLJ claimed that Anwar had insinuated that Hamas is a terrorist organisation and it had expressed its disappointment over that. 

“We call upon Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim to carefully consider the implications of his statements and to approach the matter with a balanced and informed perspective,” said the CLJ. 

Fahmi is in San Francisco as part of the prime minister’s delegation to the 30th Apec Economic Leaders Meeting, which ends today. – Bernama, November 17, 2023.
