KOTA KINABALU: Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor has urged Muslims to embrace the spirit of hijrah as a foundation for unity and resilience in the face of complex global challenges.
He said ongoing conflicts in Gaza, Iran, Lebanon and Syria are not just regional concerns but have far-reaching impacts on international stability and the well-being of the global Muslim community.
Hajiji condemned Israel’s continuous military actions as violations of international law and basic human rights, warning they could reshape global geopolitics.
