SEPANG - The Islamophobic act that occurred in Stockholm, Sweden is among the issues to be discussed during Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim's official visit to Brunei beginning tomorrow.

Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abdul Kadir, who is also Anwar's accompanying minister on the official visit, said he would discuss the matter with his counterpart, Erywan Mohd Yusof.

"I will discuss it with my counterpart during this official visit," he told Bernama when met at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) here today.

Rasmus Paludan, leader of the Danish far-right party Stram Kurs (Hard Line), was permitted to burn the Quran on Saturday outside the Turkish Embassy in Stockholm, causing the Muslim world to erupt in anger due to the incident.

Anwar said Malaysia condemned in the strongest terms the Islamophobic act and urged the Swedish government to take urgent measures against the perpetrators of the vile act as well as ensuring drastic steps in the future to address the alarming rise of Islamophobia in the country.

The two-day visit to Brunei is Anwar’s second official visit since taking office on Nov 24. - BERNAMA
