hisham is minister in charge of foreign policy

he should be much sharper & much more alert about this kind of things

anifah as a much more experienced foreign minister is right & completely justified to criticise hisham on this

Haha,
Remember MO1 fly all the way to Hawaii just to play golf with Obama or MO1 with his team photo opportunity with Trump at the white house to help make Amerika great again. That is another Malaysia diplomatic faux pas.

As of our 7th PM he like to act as he is the big brother/elder and try to school everyone thus offended US, EU, India, China, Australia, Saudi and every other country thus putting Malaysia into economic havoc.

indonesia with nearly 300 million population is kind of like the 'china' of SEA

Why Najib meeting with Trump a total PR disaster, the investment was not! Malaysia investment on US was total success! Actually Malaysia should have investment much more during Trump administration!

Pee Wee is right EPF investment in US stocks is a resounding success.
Love the day when our diplomacy welcome business with all.
