Tabung Kemanusiaan Palestin bagi Perkhidmatan Awam dilancar

PUTRAJAYA: Tabung Kemanusiaan Palestin bagi Perkhidmatan Awam dilancarkan hari ini sebagai inisiatif keprihatinan dan tanda solidariti serta semangat kemanusiaan dalam kalangan penjawat awam terhadap perjuangan rakyat Palestin.

Ketua Setiausaha Negara Tan Sri Mohd Zuki Ali yang melancarkan tabung itu menggesa semua ketua setiausaha dan Ketua Pengarah Perkhidmatan Awam menggerakkan kutipan sumbangan secara agresif di kementerian, jabatan dan agensi masing-masing, dalam tempoh dua minggu bermula hari ini.

"Sekecil mana pun sumbangan anda amat bermakna buat saudara kita di sana," katanya dalam hantaran di laman sosial Instagram miliknya serta memuat naik gambar melancarkan tabung berkenaan di pejabatnya.

Kerajaan sebelum ini menubuhkan Akaun Amanah Kemanusiaan Rakyat Palestin (AAKRP) bagi membantu mengurangkan penderitaan rakyat Palestin yang terkesan akibat konflik di Semenanjung Gaza, Palestin.

AAKRP ditubuhkan di bawah subseksyen 9 (1) Akta Tatacara Kewangan 1957 (Akta 61) pada 2002. Ia di bawah seliaan Kementerian Luar Negeri, dengan mandat untuk mengumpul, menyelaras dan menyalurkan sumbangan kemanusiaan daripada rakyat Malaysia kepada rakyat Palestin.

Pertempuran terkini di Palestin yang melibatkan Hamas iaitu pihak berkuasa di Gaza dan rejim Israel sejak 7 Okt telah mengakibatkan kehilangan ribuan nyawa kedua-dua belah pihak.

Consider This: Transnational Repression (Part 2) — Are Our Governments Enabling It?

Authoritarian regimes don’t stop at their own borders—often reaching across countries to track, detain, and deport refugees, activists, and migrants. This is transnational repression: when a state extends its repression beyond its own beyond their borders to control or punish its citizens abroad. Malaysia and Thailand, two of Southeast Asia’s biggest hubs for migrants and refugees, have become key battlegrounds for transnational repression. With Malaysia helming ASEAN chair this year, what role does the region play in resisting, or enabling, transnational repression? On this episode of #ConsiderThis Melisa Idris speaks with Krittaporn Semsantad, Programme Director at the Bangkok-based Peace Rights Foundation.
