"On behalf of the government and the people of Malaysia, I express my sorrow and condolences over the incident that has resulted in loss of lives and injuries at Istiklal Street, Taksim, Istanbul on Nov 13.

"May Allah SWT protect and safeguard the Republic of Turkiye and its people from all threats that could affect peace and stability in the country," he said in a Facebook post today.

In the post Ismail Sabri also shared a copy of the letter he sent to the President of Turkiye Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
