April 6, 2025: Malaysian News Publication wrote about claiming Palawan, Balabac and Cagayan Islands, will the BBM Government react strongly also?
A Malaysian News Publication recently posted an Article about how Malaysia could assert its Claims on Palawan, Balabac and the Cagayan Islands in the Philippines. The Author went on to discuss in Detail the supposed Historical Claims of Malaysia into these Areas.
I am not going to summarize the B.S. that he said, but you can read about it if you want to the "Jesselton Times" here: https://jesseltontimes.com/2025/04/06/could-malaysia-assert-claims-over-palawan-balabac-and-cagayan-island-in-the-philippines/
MY NOTES:
A Month or so ago, the entire Bangag Government and Philippine Press made such a big Deal of some ordinary Chinese Citizen on Social Media about claiming Palawan, but I doubt if the Bangag and the Press will now make the same Fuss about this Claim by Malaysia on the same Area.
And to think that this Malaysian Claim should have more “weight” than the Chinese Incident since this was published at a legitimate Malaysian News Publication, and the Reason is simple: Because the United States (US) doesn’t want the Philippines to fight any other Country except China when it comes to Territorial Disputes.
And especially Malaysia which is the former Colony of one of its closest Allies, the United Kingdom (UK) which still has some Influence in Malaysia. Somebody send this Article to the National Historical Commission of the Philippines (NHCP) which was so willing to ride on that Chinese Claim recently, see if they will react anywhere near the same Way.
February 17, 2025: PM Ibrahim says Malaysia will stay Neutral, but also says ASEAN must strengthen ties with China
At the "China Conference South-East Asia 2025" Event in Hong Kong recently, the Prime Minister of Malaysia, Anwar Ibrahim said that his Country will stay Neutral in the ongoing Rivalries between the Superpower Countries, but also said that the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) must strengthen Ties with China.
Quoting him directly, "Malaysia’s Position is clear: We remain non-aligned and will not be drawn into great Power Rivalries. We reject Economic Coercion and Unilateral Actions that undermine Regional Stability."
"ASEAN must also expand its Global Engagement beyond Traditional Partners. Strengthening Ties with China, the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), BRICS, and other Emerging Economies is not about choosing Sides; Rather, it is about ensuring ASEAN’s Strategic Relevance in a Multipolar World."
Malaysia, just like the Philippines, also has an ongoing and unsettled Territorial Dispute in the South China Sea (SCS), but that has not kept them from allying themselves closely with China and benefiting from them a lot in Terms of Trade and their Economy.
