M’sia’s sovereignty won’t be compromised by US trade deal, says ex-defence forces chief
The Malaysia-US Reciprocal Trade Agreement had undergone strict scrutiny by the investment, trade and industry ministry, Attorney-General’s Chambers and Cabinet before being signed, says former chief of defence forces Zulkifeli Zin.
He noted that the agreement was spearheaded by the ministry, and scrutinised in detail by the AGC before being brought to the Cabinet for consideration and approval.
“I am of the view that due process has been fully complied with. I am confident that the AGC and ministry, staffed by experienced administrative and diplomatic officers, would never compromise the country’s sovereignty,” Bernama reported him as saying after a special briefing by the investment, trade and industry ministry on the agreement.
