“Saya terima banyak ugutan… dan saya sebut kamu salah pilih orang. Selagi saya diberi mandat oleh rakyat, saya tidak akan terima ugutan sebegitu. Bagi kita lawan tetap lawan.” – PM Anwar Ibrahim, Himpunan Malaysia Bersama Palestin

(I have received many threats… and I say you have picked the wrong guy. As long as I am given the mandate by the rakyat, I will not take such threats. To us, an opponent is an opponent.)

COMMENT | PAS’ despicable and frankly racist statements that the Urban Renewal Act is akin to Nakba are the direct results of the deep-rooted anti-Semitism in the political landscape and the reality that the Madani regime has weaponised the Palestinian issue.

Don’t get me wrong. This Urban Renewal Act is just a fancy term for gentrification, which furthers the corporate interests of developers who have a symbiotic relationship with the political class.
