KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia 's chairmanship of Asean should be seen as an"opportunity” rather than a cause for scepticism, said Petaling Jaya Member of Parliament and Keadilan’s National Communication Director, Lee Chean Chung.
Lee dismissed criticism of Malaysia’s role at Asean’s helm, stressing that Anwar is set to lead the 10-member bloc under the 2025 theme of “Inclusivity and Sustainability”.Malaysia, he noted, would host over 300 key meetings and programmes throughout the year while advancing initiatives in artificial intelligence , renewable energy, tourism and healthcare.
"Timor-Leste is on the verge of attaining full membership in Asean, having actively participated in the grouping's affairs since being granted observer status in 2022,” he said. "Joining Asean is a top priority for us. We have demonstrated our commitment through tangible progress, and we hope that under Malaysia’s chairmanship, our accession will materialise,” he stressed.
"It is true that many issues need engagement, including democratic developments in some of the most volatile regions of Asean. He also pointed to APHR’s recent backing of a petition by environmental groups in the Philippines against reclamation projects in Manila Bay."This is a direct response to the widespread environmental damage and the devastating impact on fisherfolk and coastal communities," he said.
