Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim commended the Malaysian Border Control and Protection Agency (AKPS) for apprehending a container at the Port of Tanjung Pelepas in Johor, suspected to contain strategic goods bound for Israel. This swift action, highlighted in a Facebook post on August 9, underscores Malaysia's dedication to preventing the country from serving as a transit point for trade that could aid or contribute to the Israeli regime's actions against the Palestinian people.
Anwar stressed that this aligns with Malaysia's adherence to The Hague Group principles and the embargo imposed since December 2023, which restricts Israeli ships and vessels transporting cargo to Israel from accessing Malaysian ports. The AKPS confirmed the seizure of a container suspected of breaching Export Prohibition Order 2023, Item No. 15, which prohibits the export of goods to Israel in line with the Malaysian government's policies.
