Malaysia ready for help over Malacca Strait.
(From Lloyds List)
Byline: But military aid ruled out, writes Mike Grinter in Hong Kong
MALAYSIA has told the US and other members of a regional security forum it was willing to accept their help to improve security in the Malacca Strait but remains opposed to any outside military presence in the waterway, Dow Jones has reported.
Foreign minister Syed Hamid Albar told the Asean Regional Forum that Malaysia would accept assistance such as technical expertise, surveillance aircraft and equipment from Japan, South Korea and the US to help safeguard the Strait.
The forum comprises the 10 countries of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations and their 14 Asia-Pacific partners, including the US.
Mr Syed Hamid told reporters that some members of the forum expressed fears that terrorism on the high seas could 'become a new phenomenon that can threaten world peace and security'.
The US conceded that Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore should continue to take the dominant role in safeguarding the Straits.
