KUALA LUMPUR: Urging all Malaysians to show their support, Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong has condemned the "heinous acts" against Palestine.
"I strongly condemn any heinous acts in the form of subjugation, violence and oppressing innocent people.
"The reason we should help the people of Palestine is that despite living on their own land, they are not given freedom of access to healthcare and food.
"All forms of aid have been blocked.
"This is like living in hell," he said in a short social media video on Friday (Oct 20).
In the post, questioning how long innocent people would be oppressed in their own land, the MCA president said he sympathised with Palestinians.
"Their situation is like being in the biggest prison in the world.
"On the basis of humanity I invite all Malaysians, regardless of race, to support Palestinians.
"We are human and we must sympathise with what these innocent people are facing.
"Let them live in their own land freely," he said.
Dr Wee also urged those who can provide support in any way to help.
"If not, the least we can do is extend our prayers regardless of our religion.
"Let the people in Palestine live in peace."
