How does a country deepen its relationship and do business with China without risking retaliation by the US and its allies? How can a nation protect its territorial claims in the South China Sea yet maintain a delicate balancing act with its neighbours with their own views and claims? Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim discusses these issues and more, including his deep anguish over the Israel-Gaza war, in this episode of Talking Post with Yonden Lhatoo.

As a Malaysian, I hope our leader chooses the path for prosperity for our country. As Henry Kissinger said: to be a a friend of America is fatal. We best stay neutral, but if we have to choose, then it’s not America.
You best get equal rights from the Malays first 😂
@@mudshovel289 They are can`t, their forefathers agreement for the citizenship is to not to touch the Malay`s right.This land has people before the illegal immigrant of Chinese and Indian came.
@@zzzzzz4387😂the land didn't have any people when dinosaurs roamed it
I'd rather choose America than China
@@azhariarif
You don’t support Palestine it’s fine. I support Palestine.
Anwar is a much wiser leader among his neighbors, he knows how to avoid conflicts between US and China and make the most interests of his people.
Najib already initiate business with China first but people were sceptical
Hahhaha..he is a useless one ..its wrong to seen him as wiser coz he has already makes malaysia not suitable for investors to come
@@issham1757the latest investments keep coming in and the financial reported so. Where did u get the info that anwar makes it not suitable to invest?
One day you will see what will really happen to M'sia.

Proud to be Malaysian. Now we have a world class leader.
World class leader with racism and religion discrimination constitution.
Joke of d year

@@NorellaPrivate-ov2bn yeah yeah we all will leave in peace if we understand our non Muslim identity for living in Muslim majority country even we had the identity card of Malaysia as Malaysian.
So I hope the Muslim that leave their country and go to non Muslim country as fake refugee (aka illegal immigrants) will respect the culture and law of country they stay, don't keep barking sharia like the wild dog on the street.
Sorry that I talk too much, what I want to tell you is that the most Muslim like you will only feel the peace when they stand on supremacy position.
@@NorellaPrivate-ov2bn yeah yeah I understand that Islam is religion of peace and Muslim is peaceful, but that kind of peace will only happen when the Muslim is stand on supremacy position.
Just like what we saw on the western country, those Muslim (fake refugee a.k.a illegal immigrant) they not find it peace on western country at all that why they shouting sharia on the street, making excuse for using violence, act like victim.
Just like what happen on Malaysia during protest for denied icerd that happen on several years ago. You can go search on Google and you will saw some image of people holding banner with text "allah satukan kami" tolak icerd". Can you help me translate those text to English for me?
Love this guy. Will be visiting malaysia !!
Finally , Malaysia has the wisest, open-minded, world-class Prime mister in Anwar Ibrahim. He is the best of all the previous ministers by far.
"Malay" didn't like him
@@Ali_art because most of the extremist malay are brainwashed by parti agama sesat
@@Ali_artDo not generalise. Majority of malays support Mr. Anwar Ibrahim.
Not exactly as he has caved in to US pressure
Lol....that's all i can do, laughing out loud to your statement.

I admire Malaysia's stances here. ASEAN countries should have independent foreign policies and make wise strategic choices.

@@sepam82 Yup,unless you're a coward
8:44 this is gold. Malaysia managed to be very peaceful due to this. we willing to listen and talk instead of just resorting to violence. I hope all countries could be bless to have a leader like Dr. Anwar who are open and not easily influenced and manipulated by western powers.
PM Anwar is my new hero. I'm lucky to be a Malaysian.
Best Malaysia PM Anuar Ibrahim 🙏🏻👍🏻 From Singapore 🤗🇸🇬
And today, 3 days later, Malaysia announced that we're joining BRICS. Fabulous
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
what's wrong with malaysia joining brics? should malaysia join aukus instead?
SUBJECT TO THE ACCEPTANCE OF #BRICS THO...
with straits of Malacca, Malaysia will be an important ally to BRICS or NATO..
BRics are made from many countries and CHINA is not the sole member of this group nor the head of this Organisation , Malaysia is not choosing sides in terms of military BUT MORE TOWARDS ECONOMIC PROSPERITY FOR ITS MEMBERS .
Praise to Anwar ❤ from SG! Hope you can stay 1 more term to bring Malaysia further.
Malaysia is a special country in the world. Someone in the financial industry commented it is pentahub linkages to China, India, West, Muslim and Indonesia.
It is not uncommon to find Malaysians who are multilingual and graduates of top 10 universities in the world. Imagine having the smarts and knowing Bahasa, English, Mandarin, Cantonese, Minnan dialect, and Tamil - going forward I think Fortune 500 companies would increasingly "headhunt" Malaysians for senior roles
@@Kash-is-King 😂. I am “amazed” by how deluded Malaysians are. Ok, continue. Malaysians are making a fool of themselves in social media. Most of the languages you mentioned are useless.
Eh, Alex Lee . Stop promoting Malaysians. You think by making things up and faking will help you to go far. 😂.

the ever so brilliant Anwar Ibrahim
Great leader, one of the best in Asia
This man is a gem. Malay people are smart because they elected this guy
Imho, all Malaysian PM need to handle 'potential backstabbers' be it within own party or opposing political party. 😅😅😅
The questions were tough and he managed them well. For humanity with compassion and justice! He is the best Malysian leader.
I hope I can be somewhat as strong as Dato Seri Anwar Ibrahim one day, to fight for what's right in this world.
Proud of Anwar. He has ⚽️⚾️🥎🏀🏐 and speak honestly.
This is our first class PM, proud to be Malaysian.❤❤❤
What he went through was God’s preparations to make him a better leader.
Don't lie bro, many malaysians have opened our eyes to see his true evil side
A better leader, that's why even Bersih gave his govt "F" mark. It's Bersih mate, one of the closest ally of him.

@@cikmeow2050i thing u more evil😂😂😂
Malaysia has traded with China for more than 600 years, dating back to the Malacca Sultanate (1400-1511) when the Malacca Sultans had friendly relations with the Ming Emperors. This was to the extent that one of the Ming Emperors sent his daughter, Hang Li Po, to marry Sultan Mansur Shah of the Malacca Sultanate. However, the Malacca Sultanate fell to Imperialist Western invaders and colonialists, first the Portuguese, then the Dutch, and the British. So, if history has anything to teach Malaysians, it is to be careful of Western countries for their avarice! China has never conquered and colonised Malacca or even Malaysia like the Westerners did.
“White man speaks with a forked tongue”, as the Native Americans found out to their cost! At least Malaysians still have their country and independence after kicking out the foreign Western Colonialists. However, the Native Americans can't say the same for their lands and country.
"In the fifteenth century, when European settlers began to arrive in North America, the continent was richly populated with Native American communities. Hundreds of thousands of people lived in a wide range of environments from shore to shore, each community or nation with its own distinct culture. The centuries that followed the arrival of Europeans were years of tremendous upheaval, as the expansion of settler territory and the founding and growth of the United States resulted in Native American communities being moved, renamed, combined, dispersed, and, in some cases, destroyed.
These dislocations and changes took place across many centuries, and each individual episode was marked by its own set of unique circumstances, from public negotiations and careful planning to subterfuge and deceit; from declarations of friendship to calls for genocide; from disease, starvation, and bloodshed to perseverance, resistance, and hope in the face of persecution. But all were driven by the relentless expansion of European settlement and U.S. territory, and by U.S. government policies that relegated the independence and well-being of Native Americans to secondary status, if that." (USA Library of Congress www.loc.gov/classroom-materials/immigration/native-american/)
It was longer than that, since the Langkasuka/Kedah Tua kingdom. China always has relationship with the Southeast Asia
I get the sentiment, and the whole deal about the long trade relationship of Malacca and China. However, the story of Hang Li Po, Hang Tuah ... and all the other "Hang's", and well as the many stories from the "Malay Annals" has since been come into question, since there are no corroborative entries in the archives of the Mings nor Portuguese. But yeah, there's been long relationship between China and the Malay straits. Just this whole idea of the mighty Ming Dynasty sending a "princess" to be married is in question.
Henry Kissinger once say, "To be an enemy of the US is dangerous, but to be a friend is fatal".
Shitguo 🇨🇳 loves him
We all knew.
It was written in U$ Foreign Policy document, to keep Asia poor and divided.
井底之蛙看BBC看傻了🤣🤣🤣@@nicholasfooong.
So both ways is risky 😅
I don’t take their quotes or anything. They can have the quotes, the technology, the power, the big azzes but when you loose integrity and trust that’s it. The last twenty years exposed them really bad through their devil actions‼️

Undoubtedly, most read world leader
this leader try to do his best❤
Anwar is magnet of Malaysia. If we have enough time to let him lead he will be one of magnet elevator of Asia or simply Maglev.
This is Asean view
Proud to be part of it !
Which part of ASEAN are you from?
@@runeer Have decendents and off spring in Singapore, works in Malaysia and Brunei. Born in Kuching residing in Brunei.
@@HLC64 That's not the entire ASEAN isn't it? I'm with DSAI but ASEAN clearly has countries that are not that neutral or rather ambiguous when navigating between the US and China rivalry
@@runeer if you are looking for a clear support to create war or towards war ... no one here will... because we know that there are no war here except from the bad loser ... now think about it
By the way, eventually Taiwan and Japan is likely to avoid war amd roll on with business ...
Comment please
@@HLC64 I hope you're right but that seems doubtful until Japan, TW, and Korea first rid themselves of their warmongering US overlord. That's job #1. Then they can achieve as you said.
No matter who Malaysia chose for economy and technology growth, Malaysian must work together for better of Malaysian. Avoid letting military or warmonger nations to influence and manipulate Malaysia, and not become the tool of that nation to fight their war.
Malaysia wants to produce chips for US, Malaysia also wants to sell durians to China,....😂
Of course! That is our best interest, don't act like other countries do not do the same
@@sollehdaim828Be careful. Playing the tightrope walking game could result in serious injuries or death. 😅
@@chenghonggoh4746 i bet you don't listen carefuly what anwar said. lol

@@chenghonggoh4746 maybe you can replace him as a Malaysia pm. you seems smart to run a country tho. ghahaha 😆🤣😂
My hero. You have earned the respect of the world too, Dato.
Anwar Ibrahim is the most pragmatic and one of the most rational leader of Asia. President Marcos must take some lessons from this great leader in handling the territorial disputes in west Philippines as they too have ckaim over thus territory.
I hope we will have a leader like him in the Philippines sadly ours is not like him
Give him some slack. He took the reigns of Malaysia with trillions of debts. He is doing his very best. Until he finishes his term, let's us Malaysian give him full support.
Exactly. We gave some one 22 years, another 9 years, only fair to let Anwar to finish his term. I’m no big fan of his politics but I think he’s steering Malaysia in the right direction.
@@Macahan-s8h ditto
Klu duduk dekat rumah Anwar boleh nampak dia keluar awal balik rumah rehat lewat malam hari hari. Pm ini sangat rajin untuk Selamat Malaysia banding dengan DIN
Proud to be Malaysian
I feel proud of our Prime Minister Datuk SerivAnwar Ibrahim the best human being . Humble person , very charismatic, intelligent, famous throughout the world and for 25 years fight for justice to make this country great again.
World class leader. Malaysian should support him.
Remember Guys Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim is a Professor and have very high standard intellect. Of cause He is very open minded and has strong negotiate skill other than just be a leader..
Proud to be Malaysian! Anwar Ibrahim the best PM for Malaysia!
21:00 How can they still be questioning this? The Palestine conflict has been ongoing for so long, yet they're blaming Hamas for the events of October 7. What is wrong with these people? SMH.
Poor journalism, the host is obviously biased towards western points of view and trying to corner the PM into picking sides. Proud of the PM for standing his ground. Says a lot about the quality of this channel 👎
Well done DSAI!!!
Wow, I'm impressed at least.
TERBAIK PMX....agak2 siapa lah walaun dan musuh2 politik nya yang boleh jadi seorang PM???? cakap English pun mereka terbabak babak.....
yang berangan2 nak jadi pm nu c bat...cikgu bard....ha ha ha
Excellent answer and comments with the truth and facts.. Well done Anwar.. ❤❤❤
Malaysia ❤ liveable and food cheap too, compared the rest of the neibour country, we will come again 😅
Really tough question, you guys think mahidin or ismail Sabri can answer those questions?
Their media team would never allow this kind of interviews in the first place.
Should let him,b prime minister ,forever . .l m from SG. Happy to see him. and he delivers to. help .
possible as the rise of open minded ,non racist ,non chauvinistic voters increase now
That depends on what the position of the majority. One thing the british learned how to colonize Malaya is let the malays & their kings with their religion alone
We Indonesia🇮🇩 strongly stand with PM Anwar Ibrahim on his Free Palestine faithful.
Muslim bot spotted
@@Punkhazard1292 I'm not a boot but a catholic born in Minahasa Celebes. Yes Indonesia is muslim majority, but is a big country with 280mios population. More than 10mios are catholics live in eastern part.
We catholics are submissive to pope in Vatican, his order: FREE PALESTINE.
I'm a catholic from Minahasa Indonesia 🇮🇩, not a muslim bot. We catholics submit to our pope in Vatican who supports a free Palestine.
@@fw_youtube I agree, a Palestine free from Hamas sounds lovely.
@@joshualai2827 Yes indeed Hamas is stemped a terroris org by UN long time ago and recently zionist Israel govt is also categorized as terrorist org too by UN. So we support UN resolution for Palestinians deserve to elect their own president and establish their own govt.

Yes ...he is great in this

All problems can be resolved amicably and can be beneficial to both nations on the policy of Common Prosperity
The spirit of Malacca Sultanate goodwill with China 🇨🇳 continues to the present and into the future
Feel free to correct me: western countries never intend to build up the non-west world because they want to be the center of the world, where all talented people and capital flow in (and they can choose who/what is allowed to come in). If the non-west world is developed, such advantages are distributed, and not centralized with western countries.
you are right
I never thought of it that way until I am in my late 30's. I was very ignorant or rather I never question it when I was younger
Chinese rule are no better.
cirit PM Midin dgn Ismail Sabri kalau nk mejawab soalan soalan mcm ni.. kudos PMX
PM Anwar IS TRULY WISE !!!! DANG !!!!!
I support Malaysia 🇲🇾❤️❤️
Betul cakap PM Anwar.
I salute malaysia. Friends to everyone enemies to none. Im sure this decision will only bosst further the economy of malaysia. We are asian we should not join any of amaerican-china economic war. Lets stay and focus how to improve individuals life instead of joining any parties
It is nice to hear Mr. PM rise over conflicts and suspicions over China in our backyard and maintain a "build the bridge when we come to it" attitude. The only hope is that Malaysia should never surrender it's rights over the South China Sea no matter what.
Well done PM Anwar Ibrahim. Great leader at right time

Anwar graduated from University of Malaysia sometimes in mid 70s with only a degree in Malay Studies , but his world view of matters pertaining to world peace and equality is so balanced and amazing. By far he is also an accomplished thinker and orator .
amazing

Excellent interview, thanks.
Best Malaysia PM ever
Very smart guy - congrats Malaysia
Proud to be Malaysian here with our very bold and deligent current leader Anwar Ibrahim 🇲🇾
Crazy he may be. insha'Allah his legacy will precede him as Bapak kesaksamaan (domestically and internationally)
Actually Malaysia is heavily benefited from the decoupling policy of US and EU, as the investment from China, also the west investment withdrew from China, are flooding into South East Asia and other Global South countries, building factories, transferring the manufacture capabilities. Seizing the opportunities is a wise move, don't be an idiot like Marcos.
Not only MY , SG too, esp when it comes to the issue related to HK.
I'm proud he is my PM
PM = People's monkey
fOR once Malaysia has a PM who can convey and stand amonst the Giants
Dr M also stood up against them. He was the only one to refuse the evil IMF dictates in the 90s
马来西亚x中国

Now Malaysia Malaysian together with pmx...
ANWAR Ibrahim is far better than Philippines Bobong marcos in handling SCS issues!a great leader i must say!
Well, every ASEAN nation, not just MY, is better at handling SCS issues than Marcos. He is taking war-provoking orders from the US in order to get back his family's assets that the US has frozen and seized. He ven lets US instal missiles and nukes in PH, which will make PH a big target of China & Russia. Very bad for PH people.
Love Yonden Lhatoo! One of the best journalists in the world.
As demonstrated in this interview, a shining example of Western Anglo-Saxon journalism.

Welcome to Malaysia. Mr Yonden. Big fan !
My only friendly advice to Malaysia is be vigilant. Philippines was just like today's Malaysia under Duterte admin remember? Duterte even favor China over US (if I'm not wrong Duterte even curse Obama in a press conference) however the strategy to be friend with China was futile. China cannot be trusted as well as USA. China pledges a lot of projects to the Philippines, in return Philippines under Duterte will not fight for their rights in West Philippines Sea (if I remember correctly, Duterte let China built military bases in South China Sea during pandemic). However, those pledges were just broken promises. They never happened, most of the projects were cancelled. China is just like USA. These superpower countries, why not fight on their own lands? Why would they choose ASEAN lands and seas for their own greedy ambitions?
but we also have to look at the differences. The Phillipines have always been in US grip for far too long that trying to back up a little may be viewed by the US as a huge threat. They will never let the Phillipines go. The Phillipines and Taiwan is important to the US to secure their base for war in case china-us war ever happens. This way, US soil is safe but at the cost of Phillipines and Taiwan security. Malaysia have always been vocal about the US, more so during Mahathir days. He was on record condemning the US for many years. When compared to Mahathir eapecially, Anwar is still much more reserved in his critism against the US. Still, Mahathir was the PM of Malaysia from 1981 till 2003 when he stepped down. He once again became the PM in 2018 before he stepped down in 2020 amid political crisis. Malaysia once rejected the air surveilance project to be based in Malaysia and manned by US military, proposed by the US government during Obama administration. Malaysia didnt want to have anything to do with it because it is pretty obvious who their target was. So, this is not the first time Malaysia is vocal and transparent about their stand with the US government. Certainly not the first Malaysian leader to do it. I do have to agree that, Malaysia needs to be aware and cautious when it comes to the US. They have proved themselves indeed deadlier than China.
Honesty, focused goals, diplomacy and perseverance are all virtue and strength of a real stateman.
Anwar has caught the head wind of change while Singapore still dogmatically indulging in and dancing to the tune of the dated and obsolete rules based order of the hagemonic imperialism, and dangerously infected with US & collective west Russophobia!! MALAYSIA ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF HISTORY!
Zelensky have so much to learn from Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, and Singapore.
🇲🇾 MALAYSIA 🤝❤ CHINA 🇨🇳
Among all the PM after TAR DSAI is the most qualified and fit PM has the highest intellect and whatever questions posed to him he can immediately answer them.❤
😅👌👍
I love Malaysia 🇲🇾❤️
It's China news and many supporting him now. A month ago many were against Anwar for being quiet on KK Mart case.
February 24, 1948, Declassified U.S. Foreign Policy:
Furthermore, we have about 50% of the world’s wealth but only 6.3% of its population. This disparity is particularly great as between ourselves and the peoples of Asia. In this situation, we cannot fail to be the object of envy and resentment. Our real task in the coming period is to devise a pattern of relationships which will permit us to maintain this position of disparity without positive detriment to our national security. ... that Japan and the Philippines will be found to be the corner-stones of such a Pacific security system and that if we can contrive to retain effective control over these areas there can be no serious threat to our security from the East within our time.
Taiwan was added to the Pacific security system after Chiang's army retreated to the island of Taiwan in 1949. South Korea was added after the Korean War in 1953. The attempt with Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia was abandoned in 1975.
It's in their Foreign Policy document....
