Anwar: I travel abroad to represent Malaysia, not for leisure
KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has clarified that his frequent travels abroad are not for leisure, but to represent Malaysia and advance the country's interests on the global stage. Speaking about his recent 24-hour journey from Brazil, Anwar said he often faces gruelling schedules but remains committed to his duties. "You think I enjoy flying abroad? I represent Malaysia whenever I travel — it's not for leisure," he said. He said this at his speech at the launch of the Madani Rakyat Terengganu 2025 Programme in Kuala Terengganu today, which was posted on his Facebook page. The prime minister said he will be turning 78 next month and described his demanding itinerary upon his return from Brazil this week. He recalled arriving home at 3am and then opening the Asean conference at 9am on Wednesday, where he presented his keynote address at the opening ceremony of the 58th Asean Foreign Ministers' Meeting, followed by meetings with Asean leaders. Anwar also highlighted the importance of his attendance at the BRICS summit in Brazil, a coalition of Global South nations aiming to strengthen trade ties outside the influence of major world powers. "Brazil is a big country. It granted access to the largest oil platform to Petronas. Why? Because they are friends with us. Who benefits? Petronas. Petronas profits, and the Malaysian people benefit," he said. The prime minister had earlier said that his official visits to Italy, France and Brazil met their intended objectives to reinforce bilateral ties, attract investments and boost Malaysia's trade relations. He said the visits went beyond investment and trade promotion, focusing also on strengthening government-to-government ties.

Malaysian FM offers teh tarik at ASEAN meeting in KL
KUALA LUMPUR: Amid formal discussions on regional cooperation, Malaysia's Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan added a touch of warmth by playfully offering teh tarik to delegates at the 58th ASEAN Foreign Ministers' Meeting. The light-hearted moment came during the plenary session at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre, where Mohamad turned to Singapore's Foreign Minister Dr Vivian Balakrishnan with a grin and asked, 'Vivian, do you want teh tarik?' His remark drew smiles from fellow ministers, briefly easing the tone of a meeting otherwise focused on strategy and geopolitics. Mohamad highlighted teh tarik as a must-try Malaysian experience, saying, 'You come to Malaysia and you didn't taste teh tarik, that means you missed something.' The drink, officially recognised by UNESCO in 2024 as part of Malaysia's intangible cultural heritage, reflects the country's diverse breakfast traditions. Held under Malaysia's 2025 ASEAN Chairmanship theme of 'Inclusivity and Sustainability,' the meetings bring together around 1,500 delegates for discussions with ASEAN partners. - Bernama
