Malaysia FM Nasution Ismail - Malaysia only accepts sanctions by UN not by nobody's unilateral sanction

 Saifuddin Nasution Ismail, Malaysia's Foreign Minister, told the American delegation that Malaysia would not recognise sanctions by individual nation. This was in response to the American delegation visiting Malaysia and Singapore to coerce these countries to sanction Iran's sale of oil. Not sure what was independent and principled Singapore's position on this and how they replied to the American demand.

Malaysia not only would not budge to American bullying, but also insisted that the Americans show proof of their allegations. The Americans are infamous for making wild allegations and lies against countries, eg the invasion of Iraq on false allegation of WMD and spurious unproven allegations of human rights violation in Xinjiang, while the Americans and the Israelis were committing genocide against the Palestinians right before the eyes of the world. Only American crony states would take American lies and wild allegations without questioning.

In this case, Malaysia has taken a principled position against the rogue and lying Americans. Malaysia can hold its head high for standing up to the Americans and in support of the Palestinian people. This is the kind of leaders that would be respected by the world, not half bakes that everyday harped about what to wear, what can wear and what cannot wear, or what can eat and what cannot eat.

Great to see a new set of professional and confident Malaysian leaders leading Malaysia.
