Appointment of Nick Adams should be rejected, says Amanah Youth
Mus'ab Muzahar then said that Malaysia upholds sovereignty, regional peace, and solidarity with oppressed people, especially Palestinians.
He added that allowing Adams to come to Malaysia as the US Ambassador would open the door to the US's toxic agenda and politics of hatred and said that the appointment should be firmly rejected under Article 4 of the Vienna Convention.
"Nick Adams is not a diplomat or a statesman. He is merely a far-right propagandist, a staunch Trump supporter, and a vocal supporter of the Zionist Israeli regime.
"His rhetoric on social media is full of hatred, racism, and Islamophobic sentiments, clearly deviating from the spirit of mature bilateral relations," he said in a Facebook post on Sunday (July 13).
Earlier, US President Donald Trump, via his Truth Social platform on Thursday, nominated Nick Adams as the US Ambassador to Malaysia.
Trump stated that Nick is not only an extraordinary nationalist and a successful entrepreneur but also a bestselling author, speaker, and renowned commentator.
Mus'ab then said that Malaysia's sovereignty allows the country to determine who is fit to represent foreign nations on its soil.
"This is not a personal matter; it is a matter of principle and national dignity. Malaysia is not a testing ground for US political puppets," he said.
He emphasised that they demand diplomacy that brings justice, not propaganda that divides the world.
Mus'ab then said that he believes rejecting Nick Adams is not a threat to Malaysia-US relations, but rather a message that Malaysia is principled, dignified, and does not bow to the geopolitical games of that country.

Orban's illiberal model in Hungary draws Trump comparisons
BUDAPEST: Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has positioned himself as a pioneer of far-right governance, earning comparisons to former US President Donald Trump. With a self-proclaimed 'illiberal state' model, Orban's policies have reshaped Hungary's political landscape, drawing both admiration and criticism. At a recent US Independence Day celebration in Budapest, American charge d'affaires Robert Palladino noted the shift in diplomatic tone, stating, 'No more public scoldings. No more moralising from podiums.' Orban, who calls Trump 'a great friend,' hopes for a US presidential visit to solidify their ideological alliance. Over his 15-year rule, Orban has been accused of suppressing judicial independence, academia, media, and civil society while restricting minority rights. Former US President Joe Biden once accused him of 'looking for dictatorship.' Zsolt Enyedi, a democracy researcher at Central European University, described Hungary as 'an open-air museum' where illiberal ideas have been institutionalised. Both Orban and Trump have targeted minorities, including the LGBTQ community, leveraging public divisions for political gain. US author Rod Dreher, a Budapest resident, defends Orban's policies, arguing that the 'Hungarian model' counters left-wing ideologies. He praised Trump's hardline stance, stating, 'When institutions that should be neutral are so far to the left, it takes a strongman like Trump just to try to bring them back to the centre.' Trump's tactics—such as threatening university funding and sidelining critical media—mirror Orban's strategies. Enyedi noted, 'Both make it clear that they are acting out of revenge.' Despite similarities, dissenting voices remain stronger in the US than in Hungary. While Orban awaits a White House invitation, Palladino hinted at a potential Trump visit to Budapest, calling it 'a reflection of real alignment between two sovereign nations that believe in tradition, strength, and identity.' - AFP
