Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 51281, member: 636"] Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim fired back at critics who accused him of treating his Brazil BRICS Summit trip like a vacation. The leader insisted every overseas journey aims to bring home serious cash for Malaysia rather than serve as taxpayer-funded tourism. Anwar stressed that government officials maximize every meeting opportunity to build profitable relationships with foreign partners. The Finance Minister highlighted how strategic cooperation with Brazil already pays dividends for the nation. Petronas scored major access to Brazil's biggest oil platform through diplomatic efforts. Recent ASEAN meetings and negotiations produced real victories instead of empty photo opportunities according to the premier. Terenggana landed selection as the regional headquarters for a massive green hydrogen energy project. The Tasik Kenyir initiative connects directly to ASEAN's ambitious Power Grid plan linking electricity supplies across borders. Underwater cables will eventually carry power from Vietnam through Malaysia and Singapore. Malaysia stands poised to become a regional energy powerhouse through coordinated government cooperation. Artificial intelligence technology centers demand enormous energy and water resources compared to traditional industries. The country must support the ASEAN Power Grid project to meet these growing technological demands. Major global powers demonstrate increasing respect for Malaysia by participating enthusiastically in regional summits. World leaders from Japan, America, Russia and Turkey showed remarkable support by attending recent ASEAN gatherings. Foreign nations view Malaysia as a stable and peaceful country with tremendous trade potential. [/QUOTE]
