From Malaysian Insider
Opposition Leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has dared the government to suspend him from Parliament if it planned to continue its support for Zionist Israel.
In a fiery speech at Kampung Sungai Tengi here last night, the Permatang Pauh MP continued his attack on the government's purported link to Israel through international public relations firm APCO, adding that aside from outright denial, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak had never answered to the allegations.
"These are same people who govern us, who preach to us that the rights of the Malays and the Muslims must be protected. Najib is not brave enough to answer to this.
"I am willing to volunteer myself — you continue to support Israel, you suspend me from Parliament. Suspend me, three months, six months, a year, I do not know.
"God willing, let the people decide for themselves," he said.
Anwar condemned the BN administration for its willingness to seek advice from a company linked to "the murder of the Muslims in Palestine".
"Apco is led by these people and Najib is seeking advice from them.
"I revealed the names of APCO's leaders but they claimed I was wrong.
"I showed the agreement signed between Apco and Israel and still they denied.
"These people are advising Najib on strategic communication, on reform initiatives, on his New Economic Model, his education policies — all this, Apco carries out," he continued.
Anwar added that as a lawmaker himself, he often engaged with foreign leaders to seek their thoughts and opinions.
"But I never took them as my advisor. Najib is doing this, and its not even Muslim leaders — it is people who work for the Israeli Defence Agency," he claimed.
Anwar is currently facing the possibility of suspension over his attack on the government's link with Apco and his claim that the company was also the brains behind Ehud Barak's One Israel campaign.
Datuk Seri Nazri Aziz had said the government to refer Anwar to the parliamentary Rights and Privileges Committee over his allegations.
The Minister in the Prime Minister's Department had said Anwar had so far not been able to provide concrete evidence to support his allegation that 1 Malaysia was taken from One Israel.
APCO has however released a statement denying the allegations made by Anwar.
