Chitchat Primitive Islam Objective Truth: PM Anwar's wife refuses to shake hands with chairman Xi twice!

Is Wan Azizah’s non-handshake with Xi Jinping a communications fiasco, totally avoidable?​

PRIME Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim attended the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) gala dinner at the Tianjin Meijiang Convention Centre in China on Aug 31. He was accompanied by his wife Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail.


They were greeted by Chinese President Xi Jinping and his wife Peng Liyuan at the dinner hosted by Xi as current SCO chairman ahead of the 2025 Summit on Monday (Sept 1).


As reported by the Malay Mail, PMX arrived in China on Sunday evening (Aug 31) for a four-day working visit to China which will also include a visit to Beijing.

What was NOT reported by local media was that there was a very awkward moment when Wan Azizah declined the China paramount leader’s extended hand, choosing instead of bow with hand on heart.

Xi looked bemused as she shook Peng’s hands while PMX himself had no qualms shaking Peng’s hands

awkward three-second scene was picked up by Russia News (@mog_russEN) on X which simply proclaimed the incident as “⚡️UNUSUAL” with a stinging one-liner, “The wife of Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim refused to shake hands with President Xi Jinping at the Shanghai Cooperation Summit in Tianjin 2025”.
 
Xi looks shocked. as he extended his hands, she extended her head. was he supposed to shake her head?? that's what happens when primitive culture meets modern civilisation
 
Using religion to be rude at such a high level interaction is disgraceful and unforgiveable. Shame on islam!
 
because the night before, Xi bring Anwar to cheong KTV mah. She is still pissed
 
I'm surprised the Malaysian agong didn't go to Beijing. After all, his son's life was extended for a few months due to an organ transplant surgery done in China. Remember to thank the Falungong or Tiong dissident who sacrificed his/her organs. :biggrin:
