Nazri Aziz, who recently returned after two years as Malaysia’s ambassador to the US, spoke about how Malaysia should deal with the Trump administration.


KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim might have been reprimanded by US president Donald Trump if a phone call had been arranged between them, according to former ambassador Nazri Aziz.


“Sometimes, it is better not to take the call at all,” Nazri told FMT, when asked about criticism over the lack of a phone call between the two leaders when Trump took office in January.


Nazri said a telephone conversation between Anwar and Trump could have caused complications. “Knowing Trump (and his unpredictable nature), he might tell off our prime minister for supporting Hamas and I don’t know how Anwar would have reacted,” he said.

“It could have led to a bigger problem. Our prime minister would not simply sit back and accept everything. Sometimes, it is better not to take the call at all,” said Nazri, who said he was mindful he was responsible for maintaining good relations between the US and Malaysia.
