Fahmi: Malaysia’s one-China policy on Taiwan remains unchanged
MALAYSIA’S position on Taiwan remains unchanged and continues to be firmly aligned with its long-standing One-China policy, Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil said. Fahmi, who is also Unity Government spokesman, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar...
Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil reaffirmed Malaysia's steadfast commitment to the One-China policy, dismissing claims from PAS that recent remarks by Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim could jeopardize the nation's diplomatic standing. Anwar's comments, made in an interview with Al Jazeera, where he characterized Taiwan as part of China, align with Malaysia's consistent stance since the late Tun Abdul Razak Hussein's administration.
Fahmi emphasized that the Prime Minister merely reiterated the country's long-standing position, emphasizing that there has been no alteration in Malaysia's diplomatic approach. Responding to PAS Secretary-General Takiyuddin Hassan's criticism, Fahmi questioned the opposition party's silence on domestic issues, specifically the findings of the Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) into the Lembaga Tabung Haji's management, which revealed significant financial shortcomings.
He pointed out the disparity between PAS's focus on external matters and its lack of similar scrutiny on domestic affairs affecting Muslims. The debate over Malaysia's foreign policy, particularly concerning Taiwan, remains a topic of contention as the government maintains its consistent diplomatic position.
