-

The Global Movement of Moderates Foundation (GMMF) has called on Malaysians to unite behind the country in its diplomatic row with North Korea.

In a statement, the foundation voiced its support for the country’s leadership in handling the situation.

GMMF executive chairman and chief executive officer Datuk Dr Nasharudin Mat Isa said Malaysians, irrespecti­ve of ideologies, must unite in the face of accusation­s over Malaysia’s handling of Kim Jong-nam’s murder investigat­ion.

“GMMF is concerned about the fate of the 11 Malaysians who are stuck in Pyongyang.

“The foundation expresses its support and confidence in the leadership of the Malaysian government in handling the delicate and unpreceden­ted situation.

“The strong accusation­s over Malaysia’s handling of the investigat­ion into the Feb 13 killing call for the unity of Malaysians, irrespecti­ve of ideologies and background­s.”

Nasharudin said the country’s law and upholding of justice was non-negotiable, in spite of mutual interests and trade between the countries.

“GMMF prays for the safety and wellbeing of the Malaysians in Pyongyang.”
