This reflects the difference between a nation that strives to live and progress, and one that seeks power by oppressing others. 'We will continue with our cause today, tomorrow, and for as long as it takes until Palestine is free,' he told Bernama at the 'More Than A War, It's Genocide' forum held at the National Art Gallery here. The forum was the highlight of the two-day 'The World Unites for Palestine' campaign organised by Year Three students from the Diagnostic Imaging and Radiotherapy Programme, Faculty of Health Sciences, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia. The campaign aimed to raise awareness, promote cultural exchange and support the well-being of Palestinians living in Malaysia. Despite facing decades of adversity, Palestinians remain among the most literate populations in the world. According to data, as of Jan 31, 2025, literacy rate in Palestine was 96 per cent – slightly lower than the 97.8 per cent recorded in 2022.
