BDS Malaysia mengecam keras keputusan Avisena Healthcare untuk membenarkan firma pelaburan Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co (KKR) memperoleh kepentingan yang besar dalam syarikat tersebut.
Berikut adalah beberapa fakta tentang KKR, yang diperoleh daripada laman web KKR:
- Ia merupakan pelabur utama dalam Guesty, platform pengurusan hartanah Israel. Guesty disenaraikan dalam portfolio pelaburan KKR pada 8 September 2026.
- Ia banyak melabur dalam infrastruktur teknologi dan data di Israel melalui syarikat seperti Global Technical Realty (GTR) dan Semperis. GTR mengendalikan pusat data bawah tanah, dan Semperis ialah syarikat keselamatan siber dengan aktiviti R&D di Israel. Kedua-dua syarikat disenaraikan dalam portfolio pelaburan KKR pada 8 September 2026.
- Ia merupakan pelabur utama dalam Artlist, platform kandungan digital yang berpangkalan di Tel Aviv. Ini juga disenaraikan dalam portfolio pelaburan KKR pada 8 September 2026.
- KKR ialah pemilik majoriti Aviv Group, yang seterusnya memiliki Yad2 Internet Ads Ltd, yang kerap menjadi tuan rumah kepada beribu-ribu penyenaraian aktif untuk penjualan dan penyewaan hartanah yang terletak di penempatan Israel di Tebing Barat yang diduduki dan Baitulmaqdis Timur, yang menyalahi undang-undang antarabangsa.
- KKR terus mengekalkan pelaburan di Israel meskipun Israel terus melakukan jenayah terhadap rakyat Palestin.
Berdasarkan laporan oleh British Medical Journal (18 Jun 2026) dan ketua pengarah Pertubuhan Kesihatan Sedunia (4 Ogos 2026), Israel telah melakukan lebih daripada 1,000 serangan ke atas kemudahan sasaran penjagaan kesihatan di Gaza antara Oktober 2023 dan Jun 2026, termasuk 36 hospital, dan juga telah membunuh lebih 1,700 petugas penjagaan kesihatan di Gaza.
Amat menyedihkan melihat Avisena, yang dinamakan sempena nama doktor-ahli falsafah Islam yang terkenal pada Zaman Kegemilangan Islam, bekerjasama dengan KKR, sebuah syarikat yang mempunyai hubungan kukuh dengan Israel, iaitu rejim yang telah melakukan pembunuhan beramai-ramai terhadap orang Islam dan Kristian di Gaza dan Tebing Barat. Laporan Pertubuhan Kesihatan Sedunia pada 31 Mei 2026 menyatakan bahawa 72,941 rakyat Palestin di Gaza telah dibunuh oleh Israel.
Walaupun kami menghormati keperluan Avisena untuk memperolehi modal dan TIDAK menuduhnya terlibat dalam jenayah Israel, harus dikatakan bahawa menerima dana daripada entiti seperti KKR menimbulkan persoalan etika yang serius mengenai nilai-nilai Avisena sebagai sebuah syarikat penjagaan kesihatan yang komited terhadap prinsip-prinsip rawatan yang berperikemanusiaan dan adil untuk semua.
Oleh itu, kami menyeru Avisena untuk menyemak semula keputusannya untuk menerima modal daripada KKR, yang reputasinya telah terjejas oleh hubungannya dengan Israel.
Sementara itu, kami meminta orang ramai di Malaysia untuk memeriksa hati nurani mereka dengan teliti sebelum membuat keputusan sama ada untuk menggunakan kemudahan Avisena. – BDS Malaysia

Avisena must review its decision regarding KKR
BDS Malaysia strongly deplores Avisena Healthcare’s decision to allow the investment firm Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co (KKR) to acquire a significant stake in the company.
Here are some facts about KKR, obtained from KKR’s website:
- It is a major investor in Guesty, an Israeli property management platform. Guesty is listed in KKR’s investment portfolio as of 8 September 2026.
- It invests heavily in technological and data infrastructure in Israel through companies such as Global Technical Realty (GTR) and Semperis. GTR operates an underground data centre, and Semperis is a cybersecurity company with R&D activities in Israel. Both companies are listed in KKR’s investment portfolio as of 8 September 2026.
- It is a major investor in Artlist, a Tel Aviv-based digital content platform. This is also listed in KKR’s investment portfolio as of 8 September 2026.
- KKR is the majority owner of the Aviv Group, which in turn owns Yad2 Internet Ads Ltd, which regularly hosts thousands of active listings for the sale and rental of properties located within Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem, which is illegal under international law.
- KKR continues to maintain investments in Israel despite Israel’s criminal conduct against the Palestinians.
Based on reports by the British Medical Journal (18 June 2026) and the director general of the World Health Organization (4 August 2026), Israel has carried out more than 1,000 attacks on healthcare targets between October 2023 and June 2026, including 36 hospitals, and has also murdered over 1,700 healthcare workers in Gaza.
It is painful to see Avisena, named after the renowned Muslim physician-philosopher of the Islamic Golden Age, link up with KKR, a company that has strong links with Israel, which has carried out mass murder of Muslims and Christians in Gaza and the West Bank. The WHO’s report of 31 May 2026 states that 72,941 Palestinians in Gaza have been killed by Israel.
While we respect Avisena’s need for capital and do NOT in any way accuse it of being complicit in Israeli crimes, it has to be said that accepting funds from an entity such as KKR raises serious ethical questions regarding Avisena’s values as a healthcare company committed to the principles of humane and just treatment for all.
We therefore call on Avisena to review its decision to accept capital from KKR, whose reputation has been damaged by its links to Israel.
In the meantime, we ask the Malaysian public to carefully examine their conscience before deciding whether to use an Avisena facility.
