Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, who is also the UMNO president, expressed strong condemnation for any actions that could endanger the sanctity and security of the holiest cities of Mecca and Medina. Regardless of the source of any conflict, Zahid emphasized that the safety of civilians, pilgrims, and guests of Allah, as well as the sanctity of these two holy places, must be protected above all else.
Zahid highlighted Malaysia's respect for Saudi Arabia's sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity while acknowledging the strong historical ties between the two nations. He reiterated that even the most pressing political or military disputes should never compromise the sanctity of the Holy Mosques, nor should they be used as bargaining tools.
Calling upon Muslims across the globe to stand united in defending these revered cities, Zahid stressed that this solidarity should surpass political divides and geographical boundaries. He also prayed for King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, seeking his health and well-being. Additionally, he extended his wishes for protection and guidance to Saudi Crown Prince and Prime Minister Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, as well as the overall welfare of the Saudi people.
Zahid concluded by asking Allah to continue shielding the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia from all threats and harm, ensuring peace, stability, and prosperity for the nation and safeguarding the Two Holy Mosques and all guests of Allah from any danger.
