He said this was not just because of economic changes and regional politics but also the security threat coming from national waters.
“The challenges faced by Malaysia as a maritime nation must be discussed thoroughly,” Mohamad said in his keynote address at the 2019 Malaysian Institute of Defence and Security conference today.
He said Malaysia’s eligibility as a maritime nation is due to several factors such as its geographical location and its physical characteristics such as being located along the international trade route between India and China, and the east and west. “Malaysia which has the advantage of its strategic location in the middle of the world sea route and rich in marine resources must increase efforts to make optimum use of these resources and be strong in order to be called a true maritime nation,” he said.
