Mahathir warned that US was antagonising China through recent visits to Taiwan by Nancy Pelosi and others. READ:

Nancy PelosiKUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia — Former Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad on Friday accused the U.S. of trying to provoke a war in Taiwan, and in a wide-ranging interview also said he expects Malaysia’s graft-tainted ruling party to hold general elections in the coming months.

“Then there is an excuse ... for the U.S. to help Taiwan, even fight against China and sell a lot of arms to Taiwan," he added. Elections are not due until September 2023, but some UMNO members, including ex-Prime Minister Najib Razak and party president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, who are both fighting graft charges, have been rallying for an earlier vote.Mahathir was an UMNO prime minister for 22 years until his retirement in 2003.

HRHJohorII lihatlah sadiq cuba bercakap tentang kroni, kalau bercakap tentang kroni ini, Mahathirlah 'pemenangnya'. Banyak kontrak-kontrak kerajaan diberikan kepada anak-anak dan sekutu rapatnya.

Totally agree! The US is provoking China into war. Cos military conflicts benefit their defence industries. They can sell more weapons to the rest of Asia.

Please be gone forever. Period.
