KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 23 — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has apologised if the decision to ban a navigation application owned by an entity linked to the Israeli regime causes any inconvenience to the public.

In a Facebook post, Anwar said this firm measure had to be taken to ensure the security of the nation and its people, a matter that cannot be compromised under any circumstances.

“I apologise if the decision to ban this navigation application, which belongs to the Israeli regime, causes inconvenience to the public.

“However, the security of the nation and its people cannot be compromised, as we must uphold national sovereignty and protect the personal information of our citizens,” he said.
