Mahathir needs to look at new foreign alliances, says former diplomat
Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad can no longer rely on Malaysia's past allegiances forged during his stint as the fourth premier to chart the country's current foreign policies, a former diplomat said today.
Describing the early 1990s as being the height of the country's foreign policy, retired ambassador Redzuan Kushairi said much has changed over the years, including Malaysia's position as part of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) and a member country of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC).
