Israeli kickboxer a hit in pro-Palestine Malaysia

Siapa kata Israel negara haram? Siapa kata Malaysia tak sokong Israel? Siapa kata Malaysia sokong Palestine? Siapa kata Malaysia anti Israel? Siapa kata UmNo anti Israel? Tahniah kerana negara mempunyai ketua negara yang tidak mempunyai prinsip...!

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 28 — Boxer Ilya Grad has made history as the first Israeli to enter Malaysia, wave his country’s flag and leave in one piece, according to a news report from the Middle East nation.

Malaysia has no diplomatic ties with Israel due to the majority Muslim government’s pro-Palestinian stand in the long-running Middle East dispute.

Israeli news site Ynetnews.com reported yesterday Grad, 24, as starring in a sports reality TV show recorded in Malaysia, “a country which legally bans the entry of Israelis”.

It added he was detained for 25 hours during entry until Malaysia’s youth and sports minister intervened and handed him a special visa, but noted immigration refused to stamp Grad’s Israeli passport. 

With the support of Malaysian ministers, we made an exceptional achievement to let an Isreali athlete fight in Malaysia holding the Israeli flag. It takes us one step forward to live in peace as a species and proves Malaysia to be a civilised and modern society,” he wrote in the Muay Thai Authority.

The “Muay Thai Challenger” brings 16 of the world’s best kickboxers in the same house to eat, sleep and train together, and in the evenings they fight in a ring in front of the cameras.MI
