🎉 Congratulations, Indonesia! A Legacy Recognized by the World 🌍

A proud moment for Indonesia and humanity. The prehistoric cave art of Sulawesi, dating back approximately 67,800 years, has been officially recognized by Guinness World Records as "The World's Oldest Non-Figurative Art."

Malaysia has announced plans to pursue legal action against Israel in an international court following allegations that humanitarian activists aboard the Global Sumud Flotilla were detained, abducted, and mistreated while attempting to deliver aid to Gaza.

According to Malaysian officials, legal proceedings will begin once all evidence and documentation have been compiled. Selangor Chief Minister Amirudin Shari stated that Malaysia will continue applying diplomatic pressure and seek accountability through international legal channels.

The flotilla, carrying more than 400 volunteers from several countries, including Malaysia and Indonesia, was reportedly intercepted by Israeli forces in international waters while en route to Gaza. Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim condemned the incident and called for the immediate release of all detained humanitarian activists, reaffirming Malaysia’s continued support for the Palestinian people and its opposition to the Gaza blockade.
