Najib Must Not Dance to the US’ Tune on Iran’s Civilian Nuclear Programme

Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad

Never mind the fact that we are now vindicated that our fear of the government rushing the Bill on the Strategic Goods Act, 2010, was in direct connection with the PM’s historic meeting President Obama, arranged by the infamous APCO Worldwide, now known to be paid RM76 million.

It is now widely reported in the US media that the President amply congratulated Prime Minister Najib for recent action on the Strategic Goods Act, which will strengthen the ability of Malaysian authorities to take action against individuals and entities engaged in such proliferation.

This has now become a shame, contempt and disrespect for the parliament of Malaysia.

Never mind the obvious omission of  Pakatan’s MPs on board with the PM in his meeting President Obama but instead brought along the two controversial ‘Independent’ MPs for reasons best to him and his government.But if PM Najib were to pursue the formation the Malaysia-United States (Congressional) Caucus in Washington aimed at strengthening the discourse on bilateral and regional issues by engaging Malaysia perspectives on issues of mutual interest, until there could be Pakatan Rakyat parliamentary representation or the caucus he would be launching would merely be a Barisan Nasional-US (Congressional) Caucus.

In the interest of our international reputation as well as the Prime Minister’s good name, Najib should cancel the launching of the unrepresentative Malaysian-US (Congressional) caucus only represented by BN and “independent” MPs from Malaysia on the one side and low-level Congress representatives on the part of the United States.
