PUTRAJAYA, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has urged the public to be cautious of social media messages claiming to collect donations for Palestinians receiving treatment in Malaysia.

Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil stated that Anwar issued this reminder during today’s Cabinet meeting.

‘The government is not collecting donations to assist, fund, or provide food for Palestinians receiving treatment in Malaysia at the moment,’ Fahmi emphasised during his weekly press conference.

Fahmi advised anyone receiving such messages to report them to the police or lodge a complaint with the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC).

On Aug 16, 41 injured Palestinians and 86 of their family members were flown to Malaysia in two RMAF Airbus A400M aircraft from Al Maza Air Base in Cairo, Egypt.
