Most Malay leaders are brilliant, they are under-rated, but let it be, at the end you'll see ☺️

[rickholow]

Zafrul Aziz is one of the most influential figures as of now in his role and for us he is key in building a strong and stable economy in terms of foreign investment and economic growth 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻…

Malaysia has a LOOONG history with China. in fact many Malays speak Mandarin and have cultural and genetic ties to China. Malaysia is also Muslim, anti-Israel, and doesn't believe the western bias against China about the Xinjiang and Uyghurs. China and Malaysia are bond brothers 🇲🇾🤝🇨🇳

[leealex]

Zafrul probably know what all questions being asked by these anchors by now.

The reporter on the left seems to have her mind wandering somewhere else than this interview, judging from her last question. First she acknowledged there was “diversifications” then she questioned the minister on why putting all eggs in the AI basket.

[Brisamars-qc]

The two ladies sounded really bored.😮 Mundane questions.

[lastChang]

Malaysian 🇲🇾 entities avoid secondary sanctions from the West by not helping Chinese firms evade AI restrictions on China 🇨🇳.

[ArabicReja]

Malaysia has lots of oil reserve in the South China Sea within its EEZ.
But China doesn't let Malaysia explore.
Anwar said he has no problem with China.

[raymondwan-kw]

zafrul excluded in king's visit 2 china...why...

[RealRick]

The leadership is better than in the past. But to ensure Malaysia grow, it has to be more open to other religions, culture and most importantly other ethnicities. (Allowing other groups to increase relatively more than locals, 40% local with 60% other ethnicities)

[saizan]

Only one great minister nowadays.. others are worse than before..

[alrent]

Thank the u.s. for tensions! No other country puts as much effort in F n things up as the u.s.

[Butoh-xc]

[xXZackXx]

Forget about US vote ripples. Malaysia needs to worry about its own politics first. Joke!
