Pihak berkuasa rampas lagi kontena dihantar ke Israel dari Tanjung Pelepas

On August 19, Malaysian authorities intercepted another three containers headed to Israel at the Tanjung Pelepas Port, according to Bloomberg. The news agency cited sources stating that the three containers contained spare parts for electric bicycles manufactured in China and were destined for the Ashdod Port near Tel Aviv in southern Israel. The Malaysian authorities are still investigating the contents of these containers.

This incident follows a similar seizure on August 7, when Malaysian authorities intercepted a container from the Philippines bound for Israel, which was flagged by the Malaysian Customs and Protection Enforcement Agency (AKPS) for containing weapons intended for the Israeli defense technology company Elbit Systems Ltd. AKPS stated that the items were examined to confirm the type, specifications, use, and classification, as well as to determine if they were subject to trade control regulations.

Malaysia does not have diplomatic relations with Israel. The Strategic Trade Act of 2010 also controls the export of sensitive technology and materials to prevent terrorism, nuclear proliferation, and the proliferation of large-scale destructive weapons.
