Malaysian PM Anwar Ibrahim Hits Back: No Meddling in Thai Politics
FILE - Malaysian PM Anwar Ibrahim (L) talks with former Thai PM Thaksin Shinawatra during the former's visit in Bangkok.//Anwar's FB Malaysia's Prime Minister, Anwar Ibrahim, has vigorously denied accusations of interference in Thailand's political affairs following his controversial appointment of former Thai leader Thaksin Shinawatra as chief advisor to the ASEAN chair. Anwar, speaking in Bangkok, emphasised his long-standing personal connection with Thaksin, asserting that the appointment aimed solely to leverage Thaksin's deep well of experience and influential networks for ASEAN's benefit. Addressing the media, Anwar clarified that Thaksin's role as the head of the ASEAN Informal Advisory Group was to aid in maintaining communication and continuity of efforts among member nations. He highlighted that Thailand, along with other countries like Indonesia, the Philippines, and Malaysia, has nominated significant figures to enhance ASEAN's unified front. Despite the diplomatic intent, the selection has stirred controversy given Thaksin's contentious history. The former Thai Prime Minister, who is perceived as wielding considerable influence over his daughter, Prime Minister Paetongtarn's government, originally fled Thailand following a corruption conviction. Upon returning from years of self-imposed exile, Thaksin was paroled with the stipulation that any foreign travel for his advisory duties must first receive court approval. The arrangement sparked political tensions back in Thailand, with figures like Dr Warong Dechgitvigrom, head of the royalist Thai Pakdee Party, decrying the appointment. Dr Warong took his grievances to the Malaysian ambassador in Bangkok, accusing Malaysia of intruding on Thailand’s political sovereignty. In response, Anwar reassured that Thaksin is one among many esteemed contributors from across ASEAN and underscored his non-participation in their deliberations. The central theme Anwar pushed was ASEAN's collective enhancement, not political manoeuvring within Thailand’s borders. With all eyes on regional cooperation, Thaksin's role remains pivotal yet contentious amid calls for clarity on cross-border collaborations. Based on a story by Thai PBS World -- 2025-04-19 -
