KOTA KINABALU: Chief Minister Datuk Seri Haji Hajiji Haji Noor today met with Sul Aidil Sudi, one of the Malaysian participants from Sabah who joined the Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF) humanitarian mission to Gaza earlier this month.
Hajiji commended Sul’s courage after hearing his account of the ordeal when the GSF vessel was intercepted by Israeli forces in international waters near Gaza.
“I am glad that you and your teammates returned home safely,” Hajiji told Sul, who hails from Tawau, during a luncheon at Sri Gaya here today.
Also present was Khairul Azlee Mohd Yunus from Sandakan, who served as part of the Malaysian GSF ground crew in Spain.
Another Sabahan volunteer, Zizi Kirana, was unable to attend the meeting due to prior commitments.
