PRESS STATEMENT: THE ISRAEL-PALESTINE CRISIS: WHY IT IS NOT LONGER ABOUT RELIGION BUT CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY
1. Malaysia is deeply saddened and disappointed by the war crime and violent attack by the Israelites against Palestinians which obviously violates the 1949 Fourth Geneva Convention. The heartless and cruelty of the Israeli’s regime of violence and widespread bombing has clearly violated the international law, human rights law, international humanitarian law and the Charter of the United Nation.
2. As I follow closely with the latest developments and news updates in Palestine, I am deeply disturbed and devastated to know that until now, the UN Security Council has not issued any statement on the current situation in Palestine even after reports by the Palestinian Health Ministry on the innocent and brutal death of 213 Palestinians and 1,500 civilians greatly injured in the attacks. Why is the UNSC ignoring this? Why are the Palestinians getting murdered daily in the land that belonged to their ancestors? It is only natural for them to defend their land and home from the attacks of the Israeli militaries’ attempt in forcefully expelling the residents from Sheikh Jarrah’s neighbourhood. Palestinians are not terrorist. Palestinians are human beings and all humans have the right to live freely without fear. Innocent children in Gaza should not be killed and must be protected at all cost.
3. The international community especially the UN Security Council should act swiftly in compelling Israel to stop its oppressive and violent attacks on Palestine. The cruel and despicable actions of the Israeli military, without a slight hint of compassion and mercy for Palestinians must be strongly condemned not only in Malaysia but also the rest of the world. This is not an issue of religion. A person doesn’t have to be a Muslim in order to stand and support Palestine. This is a worldwide issue and plight. We must collectively stand together in voicing out our repugnance on this wicked crime by Israel.
4. The Malaysian government has also reiterated their stand in consistently giving their strong political, economical and moral support to Palestine. Malaysia will also continue to support all efforts for a peaceful, just and lasting solution through negotiation involving all relevant parties based on international laws and the relevant UN resolutions.
5. I stand in solidarity and support in saving Palestine from the hands of tyrants. I condemn the Israeli attacks against Palestinians and call for Israel to immediately stop its aggression across the territory of Palestine. Don’t lose hope, Palestine. We mourn with you. We cry with you. We stand with you. We are praying for you. We are with you until the end.

ISU ISRAEL-PALESTIN: BUKAN LAGI ISU KEAGAMAAN, TETAPI ISU KEMANUSIAAN
1. Malaysia berdukacita dan kecewa dengan jenayah perang dan serangan ganas oleh pihak Israel terhadap Palestin yang jelas melanggar Konvensyen Geneva Keempat 1949. Perilaku tidak berperikemanusiaan dan kekejaman rejim keganasan Israel serta pengeboman besar-besaran jelas melanggar undang-undang antarabangsa, hak asasi manusia, kemanusiaan dan Piagam Bangsa-Bangsa Bersatu (PBB).
2. Saya mengikuti perkembangan terkini berita di Palestin, sejak bulan suci Ramadan hingga Aidilfitri dan saya sangat sedih serta kecewa mengetahui bahawa sehingga kini, Majlis Keselamatan PBB (UNSC) belum mengeluarkan kenyataan mengenai keadaan semasa di Palestin walaupun setelah laporan Kementerian Kesihatan Palestin mengumumkan kematian 213 orang Palestin dan 1,500 orang awam tercedera dalam serangan itu. Mengapa UNSC mengabaikan perkara ini? Bagaimana nasib anak-anak Palestin yang tidak bersalah menjadi mangsa kezaliman ini? Mengapa mereka dibunuh setiap hari disebabkan tindakan keji tentera Israel di tanah milik nenek moyang mereka? Tindakan mereka yang mempertahankan tanah dan kediaman mereka adalah wajar bagi membalas tindakan tentera Israel yang secara paksa mengusir penduduk Palestin dari kawasan Sheikh Jarrah untuk membina penempatan haram orang Yahudi. Palestin bukan pengganas. Palestin adalah manusia dan mereka berhak untuk hidup bebas tanpa rasa takut. Kanak-kanak di Gaza tidak boleh dibunuh. Semua orang awam, pelarian, kanak-kanak, wartawan dan pekerja media mesti dilindungi dengan apa cara sekalipun.
3. Komuniti antarabangsa terutama Majlis Keselamatan PBB harus bertindak pantas dalam memaksa Israel menghentikan serangan yang menindas dan zalim ke atas Palestin. Ini bukan masalah antara agama dan tidak perlu menjadi Muslim untuk menyokong Palestin. Ini adalah isu sejagat. Kita harus bersama dalam menyuarakan bantahan terhadap kezaliman oleh Israel ini. Kerajaan Malaysia juga mengulangi pendirian mereka secara konsisten bagi memberikan sokongan politik, ekonomi dan moral secara padu kepada Palestin.
4. Malaysia akan terus menyokong segala usaha untuk penyelesaian yang damai dan adil melalui rundingan yang melibatkan semua pihak yang berkepentingan berdasarkan undang-undang antarabangsa dan resolusi PBB yang relevan.
5. Saya bersolidariti dan menyatakan sokongan untuk menyelamatkan Palestin daripada kezaliman Israel. Saya mengutuk serangan Israel terhadap Palestin dan menyeru mereka menghentikan segera pencerobohan di seluruh wilayah Palestin. Jangan putus asa, Palestin. Kami menyokong Palestin. Kami menangis bersama Palestin. Kami berdiri bersama Palestin. Kami sentiasa mendoakan Palestin. Selamanya kami bersama Palestin.

Secretary Blinken said in his confirmation hearing held on January 19: “There's been a strong and long bipartisan commitment to Taiwan, Taiwan Relations Act, also the communiques with China. And part of that commitment is making sure that Taiwan has the ability to defend itself against aggression. And that is a commitment that will absolutely endure in the Biden administration. We will make sure that Taiwan has the ability to do that. I would also like to see Taiwan playing a greater role around the world, including in international organizations.”

2020 Taiwan-US-Japan Trilateral Indo-Pacific Security Dialogue
Hello moderator, fellow panelists, I am Taiwan legislator Freddy Lim.
This year, due to the pandemic, we can only conduct this panel online. I’m still very glad to be invited to attend this event and exchange ideas with these great panelists. Here I want to share my views on today’s main topic: “Challenges and Opportunities in the Indo-Pacific Region and the Taiwan Strait in 2020 & Beyond”.
First I want to start with the conventional positioning of Taiwan under the established international order.
After WWII, the international order led by the allies dragged Taiwan into China’s civil war. Since then, Taiwan's been struggling with the “One China” dispute, unable to gain independence and world recognition like many other colonies.
Even though Taiwanese people have built an independent and democratic country after half a century of hard work, now we enjoy freedom and human rights, the international community still isolates Taiwan. One of the main reasons is obviously China.
The established international community viewed China as a huge economic opportunity, a partner that would eventually carry out political reforms and be integrated into modern international order. Under this conventional thinking, the international community is willing to help China ease and suppress many of its unpleasant problems, including the thorny "Democratic Taiwan."
This has reduced Taiwan to merely China’s “Taiwan Problem”. We’re even slandered as the “troublemaker” of the Taiwan Strait; As a result, the respect that Taiwan deserves continues to be shelved, and the active role we can play, the contributions we can make in the international community are also ignored.
However, this established international structure is now changing.
After decades of appeasement policy, and acquiring WTO membership in 2001, China’s various structural changes that the world anticipated have never taken place. On the contrary, China’s been using organized measures, such as bribing, infiltration, and hybrid-warfare, to undermine international norms. It’s worked hard to manipulate and control international organizations, in order to project its influence onto the world. These actions have been even more distinct after Xi Jinping became President of China in 2012.
Internationally, China implemented debt-trap diplomacy on many countries through the Belt and Road Initiative. It established Confucius Institutes around the world, which are basically intelligence operations in the name of culture. Chinese tech giant, Huawei also aids China’s international surveillance. Not to mention China’s relentless expansion in the South China Sea, building military bases, creating man-made islands. This year, it’s even more serious. We witnessed the long time Chinese infiltration into UN organizations. The favoritism towards China helped its cover-up, which led to the dysfunction of WHO, ultimately causing the COVID-19 global pandemic.
Domestically, the Chinese government not only failed to implement any political reforms, but it also created the “Social Credit” system with advanced technology, to surveil and control its own people; In addition, the Chinese government built the notorious “Reeducation Camps” - concentration camps in reality, in Tibet, Xingjian, where human rights conditions were already in a bad shape. Even the Hong Kong people, who were supposed to be protected by the promise of “One Country, Two Systems”, their freedom and human rights were completely destroyed by the Chinese government.
These compelling examples show that there is some serious fallacy in the conventional way of viewing China. All facts point to this: Taiwan is not the problem. China is the problem. China is the troublemaker of the Taiwan Strait. It’s the troublemaker of the Indo-Pacific region. It’s even the troublemaker of the entire world.
Under decades of collective misjudgement, China was allowed to become the most terrifying, largest digital authoritarian government in human history. It’s a new form of dictatorship. As a response, many countries have vastly changed their China policy in recent years, thus the change of international structure.
This brings me to my next point: Give Taiwan the status it deserves. Let us contribute to the international society.
In a new international structure, Taiwan shouldn’t be categorized as “China’s Taiwan Problem”. Instead, we should be one of the key countries for international cooperation, responding to the new type of dictatorship.
Taiwan has faced authoritarian China on the front line for decades. Many countries are now facing the problem of China's infiltration under its United Front programs. Taiwan started dealing with the same problems 10 to 20 years ago. We have gained a lot of experience to contribute to the international community.
Taking the COVID pandemic as an example, Taiwan has studied and analyzed the actual situation and the information provided by the Chinese government with a serious and high-vigilance attitude. Based on our experience and lessons learned from the China SARS epidemic in 2001, we decisively formed a series of epidemic preventive measures. We have handled the crisis with the principle of openness and transparency. Our people have been self-disciplined and willing to cooperate. All of this demonstrates the high level of democracy in Taiwan’s society.
After the domestic epidemic was brought under control, Taiwan has continued to share our epidemic prevention supplies and the experiences on forming epidemic prevention policies with the world.
Although Taiwan was suppressed, even excluded by China in various international organizations in the past, we’ve been doing our best to comply with the norms & regulations of international organizations. We always actively contribute every time we have the opportunity. What I want to say is, all of this proves Taiwan could be a reliable partner in the international community. We are capable of working with other countries to solve major problems. We deserve our seats and participation in international organizations.
Regarding the impact of U.S. change of administration.
Now the U. S. presidential election is over and the administration is currently under transition. Many countries, including Taiwan, are concerned about whether the new U.S. government will change its course on foreign policy, especially its China policy. However, the "Rebalance (of Asia-Pacific Region)" proposed by the Obama administration in 2011, was in fact already a strategic adjustment in response to the rise of China and possible subsequent expansion.
The Trump administration further proposed the Indo-Pacific strategy in 2017 to promote and uphold international law and regulations, aiming to ensure every country has the liberty to be free from oppression and coercion. I believe that both parties in the U.S. understand the root cause of the Indo-Pacific regional problem comes from the Chinese government. Even for the Biden administration, it will have to provide practical responses. Facing the new structure, they can’t just go back to the traditional thinking of the last century.
As for Taiwan, the pro-Taiwan acts in the U.S., such as the Asia Reassurance Initiative Act of 2018, Taiwan Travel Act, Taiwan Allies International Protection and Enhancement, were passed with strong consensus between the Republicans and the Democrats. I believe Taiwan could be a key partner to the international community and play an active role in the free world. This isn’t just the consensus of the two parties in the U.S., but will be the consensus of all democratic countries.
In a progressive aspect, the International community can benefit from a wider recognition of Taiwan.
In recent years, the performance of Taiwanese society in terms of epidemic prevention performance, human rights, gender equality, marriage equality, and open government are actually in line with many progressive ideas and visions. The ideas and visions that many democratic countries have long supported. Therefore, I’m quite optimistic that, after 2020, Taiwan can make even greater progress, on multiple levels and in broader aspects, contributing to the international community.
Finally, I want to emphasize again that to truly resolve regional problems, we need dynamic multilateral cooperation. But this must not be a return to the conventional thinking of the past century, which was "expecting" China to abide by the international order. The outdated thinking had been proved to be a failure. Otherwise there wouldn’t be a series of Chinese infiltration and aggression after its rise in recent years, which became one of the most difficult issues in the world. I believe after 2020, U.S., Japan, and Taiwan can establish a new model of international cooperation through deeper collaboration and communication. And hopefully, this model will maximize the security of the Indo-Pacific region and promote peace, stability and development in the region.
This concludes my speech, thank you all for listening.
Lastly, I’d like to express my gratitude to the moderators, my fellow panelists, and the organizers of this event.
I wish everyone peace and good health. Thank you.
