Mavi Marmara Slayings by Israeli Regime- GRIM Official Statement

GRIM OFFICIAL STATEMENT:

The Genocide Remembrance Initiative - Malaysia (GRIM) vehemently condemns the BRUTAL, BARBARIC and CRIMINAL acts of the Israeli Regime and the Israeli Armed Forces that cost the lives of innocent volunteers on board the Mavi Marmara ship.

In addition, GRIM strongly urge the Malaysian Government in collaboration with the International Community to take immediate steps to secure the release of those volunteers detained by the Israeli Regime.

Finally, we implore the right thinking members of the International Community to sever their political and diplomatic ties with Israel in protest of this incident.

Objectives of GRIM

GRIM Objectives:-

1. REMIND ALL Malaysians of the Blessed Motherland They Live In.
   
2. SET-UP a Malaysian Genocide Remembrance Museum/Exhibition.
   
3. PROMOTE a Harmonious Inter-Race/Culture Discourse.

GRIM Background!

The idea for creating this initiative came about after visiting 2 Genocide Museum/Exhibitions:-

• 2009 - Phnom Penh, Cambodia
  
• 2001 - Washington D.C., USA (Holocaust Museum)

.......and being involved in a Sponsorship Programme Initiative run by a NGO called MSRI, short for the Malaysian Social Research Institute.

In the aftermath of the 2008 Malaysian General Elections, Malaysians on both sides of the political divide should learn to appreciate the peace and stability that have been reaped by the nation as a whole and NOT let political, race or cultural bickering degenirate into CHAOS!
