Adam'd nomination by Trump will have to be approved by the US Senate before he can assume the role. Former de facto law minister Datuk Zaid Ibrahim and former health minister Khairy Jamaluddin have said Malaysia has every right under the Vienna Convention to reject Adams' appointment without providing a reason. A staunch supporter of Israel, Adams had previously compared those who expressed solidarity with the Palestinian plight with those who supported terrorism. PKR Youth had said earlier this week that it intended to submit a formal memorandum of protest to the US embassy, calling for the appointment of a more moderate, respected and globally-minded individual, who will embody the spirit of mutual respect and cooperation that has long underpinned relations between Malaysia and the United States.

Youth coalition protests Nick Adams' US ambassador nomination to Malaysia
KUALA LUMPUR: A coalition of youth groups, including PKR Youth, submitted a memorandum to the US Embassy opposing Nick Adams' nomination as the next US ambassador to Malaysia. The group urged the withdrawal of his candidacy, calling for a more moderate and professional diplomat. PKR Youth deputy chief Izuan Kassim confirmed that three representatives entered the embassy to deliver the document, which will be forwarded to US authorities for review. The coalition argues that an ambassador should foster bilateral ties, not strain them. 'The memorandum rejects Adams' nomination due to his divisive rhetoric, Islamophobic views, support for Zionism, and sexist remarks that contradict diplomatic professionalism,' Izuan stated. The group emphasized the need for an envoy who respects Malaysia's cultural and religious sensitivities. Around 100 participants, including members from AMANAH Youth, DAP Socialist Youth (DAPSY), IKRAM Muda, and Mahasiswa AMANAH, gathered to support the memorandum handover. - Bernama
