Kota Kinabalu: The State Government has been reminded to exercise caution when supporting the Palestinian war victims so as not to accept any overbearing responsibilities that may disrupt harmony in Sabah.
Upko International Relations Bureau Chief Rowindy Lawrence Odong opined that it should be confined to financial aid only and that any suggestion to allow Palestinian refugees to enter Sabah should be immediately rejected.
“We are sympathetic to the plight of the war victims there (in Palestine), but we must be cautious not to overextend ourselves on assistance that could eventually sow distress and divisiveness among Sabahans,” she said.
