Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s remark dissuading other nations from confrontational stance towards China was a pragmatic approach to help ease geopolitical tensions in the region while simultaneously preserving Malaysia’s trading ties in the event of an escalation, said analysts.
“Additionally, supporting China’s perspective on regional and global issues might enhance Malaysia’s diplomatic standing and contribute to regional stability.
“By publicly supporting China, Malaysia could position itself as a non-aligned nation that values a multipolar world order. “This aligns with Anwar’s emphasis on recognising China’s technological prowess as a natural outcome of its economic development,” he said. “Malaysia is not in a competitive position vis-a-vis with China, so Anwar could afford to say such things, which apparently pleased China tremendously. So hopefully further trade and investments would be forthcoming from China,” he said briefly.
