The new PM of Malaysia, did the right thing to protect & defend the citizens of Malaysia with his answer. Adding fuel to fire is NOT the answer, more so when such a question is based upon religion, of which Islam - a religion of Peace, which even PAS which had attempted to use Sharia Laws to rule over its constituencies, DOES NOT condone the SLAUGHTER of innocents.
Malaysia is a SOVEREIGN State & needs NO permission to act, except for its own interests & safety of its citizens under its governance & bound by International & Regional agreements, than to serve the interests of other nations whom would JUSTIFY slaughtering of innocents by MISUSING & taken out of context scriptures writing, for their OWN lusts of greed & power.
Malay Muslims in Malaysia live in a lush & fertile peaceful valley for centuries, that attracted many, even Sunni Arabs whom seek to escape the horrific Islamic destruction of lives between the two sects of Islam - Sunni & Shias in Arabia in the 7th Century after the death of Prophet Muhammad.
Those who fled to SE Asia tried hard to NOT bring those theological battles for Islamic Supremacy to their new homes, but eventually, none would escape Worldly events & conmen whom care not about Human lives were prepared to USE docile & peaceful Muslims to their ARABIC causes for wealth & power.
For those whom exclaimed BOLDLY & readily to criticize others for their failure to support Terrorism, then perhaps, as leaders & WITHIN Parliament, should LEAD BY EXAMPLE - take the next available flight to the landmass of Palestine & BE AT THE FOREFRONT OF BATTLES, NOT at the rear as some toilet cleaner or medic which are far away from bullets, & then later claimed to be a warrior.
As Malaysia had been offering assistance to Hamas for years, PM Anwar can ensure that those whom complain the loudest would get to serve in the frontlines under the brutal terrorist group Hamas to kill innocents.
The insignificant nobody me would LOOK FORWARD to such exemplary legislators to fight for Hamas, than they try to fool & destroy the lives of many other innocent & sincere but naive Muslims practicing the religion of Peace to sacrifice their lives so that others more intelligent & conniving misusing Islam will live the high life of corruption easily.
