NEW YORK, Sept 22 -- Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim delivered a speech at the 78th United Nations General Assembly was in a class of its own.
His attire of Baju Melayu with samping and songkok in understated colours was simple yet elegant. The UNGA is not the place to display your colourful costume, exotic culture or quaint language but to share with others your visions and aspirations for a better world. Yes, Anwar’s statement pleased the West, the US in particular. However, if his detractors had listened further, Anwar also condemned Israel’s annexation of Palestine and its actions of terrorising the Palestinians. That drew a louder applause.
China is flexing its naval muscles with its so-called “Nine-dash Line” claim. This reliance on mouldy documents to exert territorial claim is as old as humankind or, at least, written documents. It would not be the first time that wars would be started based on such purported deeds. Here again, Anwar’s genius in reading his audience was on clear display. He related his Madani government’s response, translating the Quran into Scandinavian languages for free distribution.
