Rest assured that 🇲🇾 Malaysia remains independent, principled and pragmatic in terms of our foreign policy – founded on the values of peace, humanity, justice, and equality. We will continue to contribute meaningfully towards a just and equitable community of nations.

Bad pronunciation aside, did FM @HishammuddinH2O just called China our “big brother”? 😱

This is a huge disservice to our Foreign Policy. Instead of telling China that we want to be treated with respect and on equal footing, our FM chose to appear subservient and to appease. pic.twitter.com/wGvXVCSo9d
Even Chinese FM Wang Yi seem to be taken by surprise and tried to salvage the situation by saying we are brothers (“兄弟”). That has a more respectful connotation.

Mind your language. In diplomacy, it’s everything! 🤦🏻♀️
