Dr Chandra: He will change foreign policy
PETALING JAYA: Bilateral relations between Malaysia and China will be jeapordised if Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim becomes the next prime minister.
Former PKR deputy president Dr Chandra Muzaffar said Anwar, who has always been considered a US ally would surely change Malaysia's foreign policy towards China due to his close ties with the US.
“Even Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak is considered as only a friend' of the US, not an ally.
“It is because Najib is consistently forging close ties with the Chinese government,” he said yesterday.
Dr Chandra explained that Najib had always maintained close bilateral ties with China, especially in terms of the country's foreign policy.
“The conservative lobbyists in the US are not happy with Najib's attempts to strengthen ties with China,” he said.
Dr Chandra also highlighted that Anwar was among the members of an international delegation, who opposed the Olympics being held in Beijing in 2008.
“Prior to 2008, Anwar joined campaigners from the US and other countries, opposing China from staging the games,” he said.
Meanwhile, at a forum organised by the Majlis Perundingan Melayu (MPM Malay Consultative Council) last Friday, Dr Chandra, urged the Chinese not to allow themselves to be tricked by Anwar who was not honest in fighting for the community.
“If the Chinese are still hoping that Anwar will fight for their cause that would be their biggest mistake.
“Anwar is a US tool, and if he becomes the Prime Minister, the good relationship between Malaysia and China will be over,” he said.
