Kota Kinabalu: Tuaran Member of Parliament Datuk Seri Wilfred Madius Tangau urged Malaysians to stand in solidarity with the global community in calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and the pursuit of a two-state solution to address the long-standing injustices faced by the people during this holy month of Ramadan.

He emphasised the importance of condemning violence and expressing compassion towards the victims, particularly the Palestinians.

In his latest Facebook post, he also said the need for unity, mutual respect, and inclusivity among Malaysians, rejecting divisive tactics based on religion, ethnicity, or language.

Madius also called for reflection, spiritual purification, and a commitment to upholding the principles of justice and equality enshrined in the Federal Constitution.

“The judgement has absolutely nothing to do with undermining Islam as a religion, the official religion of the country.

“We must respect the judgement in the right spirit and abide by the court’s interpretation of the Constitution.

“Let us take time to reflect on our healing of mind and emotion while embracing our spiritual quotient throughout the holy month,” he said.
