PUTRAJAYA, April 3 — Malaysia is prepared to negotiate with China over the South China Sea dispute, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
He said the issue was raised at the four-eyed meeting he had with Chinese President Xi Jinping during his official visit to China being that the national oil and gas company, Petronas, has the largest platform for oil exploration operating in the area
“China is also staking claim over the area. I said as a small country that needs oil and gas resources, we have to continue, but if the condition is that there must be negotiations, then we are ready to negotiate,” he said when speaking at the Prime Minister’s Monthly Assembly with Staff of the Prime Minister’s Department (JPM) here today.
Anwar said he also touched on the issue of Myanmar and the Rohingya refugees, despite knowing that China practices a policy of non-interference.
“China is close to Myanmar, but its policy is not to interfere. I said we do not intend to interfere in their affairs, but there are almost 200,000 Rohingya refugees here. So, whether we like it or not, what is happening in Myanmar in denying the rights of Myanmar’s own people, including the Rohingya, affects us,” he said. — Bernama

I sure pray Anwar doesn't negotiate away Malaysia's sovereignty.
ReplyDeleteChina's claim over islets close to the Sarawak Coast, and the concomitant EEZ surrounding is for Real, and just like ex-Pulau Batu Putih, once it's gone, it's gone forever.
"Negotiating" sovereignty with China after you have done a full-scale "Tilt" towards China is Bullshit.
ReplyDeleteAnwar might as well be going down on his knees and lick Xi arse.
Rumour has it Anwar has a lot of experience with "such acts".
But will China want to hear Malaysia's complaint?
ReplyDeleteAll u mfering blurred dickheads, DON'T comment when yr know-nothing urge stirrs yr ego!
ReplyDeleteAnwar is right in proposing a negotiation to circumvent the SouthChinaSea disputes.
In fact, this is the proposal of China in solving the multiple/conflicting claims within the landmasses enclosed by the Nine-Dash line.
Negotiations r necessary bcoz all the claimants of the sovereignty & exclusive economic zone (EEZ) r arises out from the establishment of UNCLOS in 1984.
The laws were ratified by most UN members, with the exception of fews - especially US till now, in 1994.
Since all the disputes arise out from the new definitions of the UNCLOS on maritime territorial claims, the most challenging part is the new EEZ vs historical entitlements.
Bearing in mind that before the coming of UNCLOS, nobody except China laid claims to all these landmasses within the Nine-Dash line in the SCS. The Nine-Dash line was drawn with the helps & agreement of the US!
Proximity isn't the sole right of claim vis-a-vis the historical occupancy.
That know-nothing mfer likes to stir the cesspool via its f*cked proximity entitlement. Next time when its backyard is been claimed by a zombie just bcoz the land sits next to a zombie lair. He shouldn't break it's wind in crying fathermother!
In accepting bipartisan negotiations on a case by case basis, China is showing benevolent to her neighbors. Otherwise she can very well ask all of them to fly a kite to challenge her!
Philippines v. China (PCA case number 2013–19), also known as the South China Sea Arbitration,[1] was an arbitration case brought by the Republic of the Philippines against the People's Republic of China (PRC) under Annex VII of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS, ratified by the Philippines in 1984 and by the PRC in 1996) concerning certain issues in the South China Sea, including the nine-dash line...
DeleteThe one and only South China Sea related-case brought to The Hague Arbitration Court under UNCLOS, and China chose to Shit on it.
So...don't Bullshit about UNCLOS
Bullshit about what?
DeletePhilippines v. China (PCA case number 2013–19) was conducted under The Hague Arbitration Court using a spurious UNCLOS South China Sea Arbitration!
That Hague Arbitration Court ISN'T a legal & official affiliate of the UN.
So what jurisdiction does it carries & upholds?
Oooop… yr demoNcratic choreographied monkey show to fool the world!
So who is bullshitting who, know-nothing dickhead?
