Thank you Mr. Chairman for granting to me the opportunity to address the Third Committe of the UN today on the subjects of Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice and International Drug Control.
WCK – I think your address has all the proper words but somehow I feel it’s empty, abit wishy washy.
In an international forum like UN, DIPLOMACY is the key word. So the words used in the speech were proper. Malaysia must maintain good relationship with all countries. So it must avoid in all costs to use hard words to hurt the feelings of member state.
YB, I understand the need to take a diplomatic stance when we are at international forums. However, Im just curious how would you bring to international attention that our authorities are corrupt and some of them actually abbet in these crimes when we paint a glowing picture of what Malaysia is doing in these areas?
