        Full of hypocrisy. What about the athletes from the People's Republic of China? What the internment camps imprisoning and torturing the Uyghurs and Muslim minorities in the PRC's far west?

        A very loaded word - "humanity". Saudi is hitting Yemen should also raise the humanity flag to ban them as well. The States invading Iraq and Afghanistan, should aso be classed in the same level. Shouldn't we start extending the ban to them?

        And if IOC and world sports bodies decide no longer to hold any events in the country? Or prevent us from going to Tokyo 2020? Then what and how will you react Minister?

        On this specific issue, I support all efforts to highlight the plight of the Palestinians. Viva Palestina!

        He’s full of shite. Not a born leader. Struggles to fit his job, people in the ministry are filled with headache, only entertaining eSports & neglecting the welfare of the athletes. Some of them now selling guavas by the streetside, even after they give medals for the country.

        Too much controversy on Israel / Palestians distorted Historical facts / books/ information which will suit both sides of the divide.

        Well said @SyedSaddiq and I strongly support the Malaysian Govt’s stance in pursuit of a free Palestine. It takes conviction to come out in support of this noble cause; the rest of the world shy away from tackling Israel. One day, our efforts will bear fruits #palestine
