Frankly Speaking | S10 E1 | Anwar Ibrahim, Prime Minister of Malaysia

On this episode of Frankly Speaking, we hear from Malaysia's Prime Minister, Anwar Ibrahim, after he addressed fellow leaders at the World Economic Forum’s Special Meeting in Riyadh.
We ask him why he's advocating for Saudi Arabia to assume a larger role in world affairs and the current state of Malaysian-Saudi relations, drawing from his personal relationship with Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince.
We also explore his critique of Western hypocrisy in the ongoing crisis in Gaza and address ongoing reports concerning high level Malaysian government corruption.

Pernah tgk pemimpin pembangkang di temubual wartawan asing dlm bahasa Inggeris??? Tak pernah samasekali. 🤣🤣 Sebab apa tk da?? Pemimpin2 pembangkang kelas mereka jauh Lebih rendah berbanding PMx dan Menteri2 Madani. Bukan saja level akademik mereka tercorot tp mereka tidak ada keupayaan untuk memberikan idea2 bernas untuk membangunkan ekonomi dan memajukan negara. Cuma yg mereka tau adalah membuat pitenoh, memaki hamun, menghina dan mengaibkan musuh politik mereka. Tp angan2 mereka tinggi untuk perintah negara sedangkan perintah negeri2 depa pun ke laut.. 🤭🤭🤭🤭

Literally every pm has been vocal (and some even directly fund Palestine's development), and yet it didn't stop pembangkangs from "living in denial'. Hell Anwar was very guilty of this when he was actively ruining mahatir's. abdullah's and najib's image. I don't think you have any right to call people denial here lmao

[@ruhanaghani7816]

@@zebimicio5204 I agreed. Think deeply & try to analyze all former PMS'. Amongst them how huge assets their owned. . The current values owned by their children? My amateur opinion for the sake of " Rakyat" it's good enough. Toppling PMS' is the only approach ? We rakyat facing the consequences. If Im not mistaken DSNR came fr decedant of autocratic since the existing of Sultanate of Pahang. See the difference? PMX is facing all Problem left behind including 1.5 trillion debts. At least show the respect, support PMX until the end of his government term PRU 16. Instead of condemning all of his efforts. This at least we rakyat can sacrifice. At present only DSNR & PMX undergo the mishap.

[@Sam-yj6br]

ya'll stubborn doesn't want to be assimilated and discuss to choose segregation instead. Look at the Indonesian chinese all speak the same eat the same like the local predominant. All are proud of their own, same as thai, don't care who friggin you are chinese or indian or malay, All must speak siam and name have to change into siam. Setelah semua kelihatan serasi dan seragam barulah hak di samakan. Sampai bila pun masalah ini akan berlarutan selagi semuanya berasingan. Sekolah jenis vernakular nak buat apa la sedangkan sudah merdeka. Tak ada pun saya nampak sekolah jenis kebangsaan melayu. Kemudian minat berniaga sahaja. Cina biasa la mesti boss mahu cina sendiri, dan tak mungkinlah sanggup bermajikan orang melayu. Kata we work hard kepala banana lah, kerja susah susah biar melayu dan india buat. Jabatan Kerjaraya pun ramai staff melayu dan india sahaja. Dalam tentera pun susah nak nampak 2 3 kepala sahaja yang ada. Rejimen Renjer yang ramai pun orang sabahan dan serawakian. Kerja ready 24 jam is not hard work enough is it? you should try it. Mahu hak sama tapi berjuang sama sama tak mahu. Memanglah bumiputra. Dulu yang menentang kolonisasi adalah orang bumiputra dan bukannya yang datang bersama penjajah. Fikir cina dan india peranakan ramai ke. Semua sudah asimilasi la dah tak sedar pun nampak seperti melayu. Kawan saya melayu mix chinese, dia tak ada masalah pun, okey je. sebab apa, sebab dia sudah asimilasi. Budaya melayu itu adalah norma baginya jadi dia faham. also can try live in Indonesia. Kamu ngomongnya berbeda bisa dibantai ya. Apa pun bahasanya ngobrolnya di rumah aja. kalo di luar, Indo sahaja. Mantul chuyyy NKRI harga mati dan bahasa itu penyatuan bangsa. Ini tak ada, berbicara dalam bahasa kebangsaan pun ada yang tersangkut apatah lagi jika berpantun, bersajak dan berpidato.
