SEREMBAN: The State Legislative Assembly unanimously passed an emergency motion to strongly condemn the brutal assassination of Hamas Political Bureau chief Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran on July 31. Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Aminuddin Harun (pic), when tabling the motion during the state’s assembly sitting on Monday (Aug 8), called on all assemblymen to support the state government's stance in condemning the inhumane action and sending a message to the whole world. He said the assassination could trigger a regional war or a bigger war involving countries that are not involved in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. When debating the motion, senior state executive council Datuk Seri Jalaluddin Alias proposed that the state government consider setting up field hospitals in countries bordering Palestine, such as Egypt and Jordan, as an additional measure to support the Palestinian healthcare system. The state assembly sitting was then adjourned sine die.
