South China Sea Heating Up As Malaysia Lodges Complaint

China has been stirring up trouble by asserting outlandishly large territorial rights in the South China Sea for several years now. A number of regional nations, including the Philippines and Vietnam, have been in disputes with China over its posturing and aggressive military maneuvers in the South China Sea.

Malaysia, however, had maintained a more low-key and non-confrontational attitude toward the Chinese provocations in the area, at least until this week.

Malaysia announced on Monday, June 8th that it will protest the intrusion of a Chinese Coast Guard ship into its territorial waters north of Borneo, a rare confrontational statement in the growing tensions in the South China Sea.

Statement from Malaysian National Security Minister Shahidan Kassim
“This is not an area with overlapping claims. In this case, we’re taking diplomatic action,” National Security Minister Shahidan Kassim said in a local interview on Monday, continuing to say that Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak is also planning to discuss the issue directly with Chinese President Xi Jinping.

Malaysia standing up to China
Kassim posted pictures on his personal Facebook Inc (NASDAQ:FB) page a few days ago of what he claimed was a Chinese coast guard ship anchored at Luconia Shoals, an area about 150 kilometers north of the Malaysian island of Borneo, and far inside the 400-kilometer exclusive economic zone Malaysia claims off its shoreline. Of note, Luconia shoals are more than 2,000 kilometers away from mainland China.

Malaysia Toughens Stance With Beijing Over South China Sea
National security minister says Malaysia will protest “intrusion” of Chinese Coast Guard vessel

KUALA LUMPUR—Malaysia said Monday it will protest what it called the intrusion of a Chinese Coast Guard ship into its waters north of Borneo, an unusually assertive step by the country amid tensions in the South China Sea.

“This is not an area with overlapping claims. In this case, we’re taking diplomatic action." National Security Minister Shahidan Kassim said in an interview...

China would probably need to issue an official apology to Malaysia. If not, then what was the reason to anchor a Chinese coast guard boat inside Malaysian water? What purpose does it serve other than to piss off the once low key Malaysia? Just utterly irrational.

No need to retaliate. No Malaysian have initiated any insults in this thread. And even if they did, there is no need to retaliate. We shouldbalways stay calm and respectful like a Buddha.

bro, have you ever been to Malaysia? I do. more than once. first, I can give you a tip: take care of malay taxi drivers. they cheat you without hesitation.

I don´t think the malays have the guts to confront the Chinese aggression in the south china sea. if they do, I will applaud them. but the Chinese play a dangerous game. by pushing their illegal claims that will increase the racial tension in Malaysia. what is malaysia? a virtually divided country, with malay and chinese as main ethnics. they are too different, like day and night, hating each other to the core. more than chinese and vietnamese ever been. while chinese see the malays lazy and stupid, the malays see chinese as greedy and corrupt.

Isn't Malaysia the country that the US tries to keep in the TPP despite the human trafficking issue? Washington would be happy if Malaysia is outrage at China.

I think Malaysia is welcome to join the game, Now it's exactly the 4 nations encircling the SCS, witch make SCS doesn't look like open water anymore.. Might be a great idea to solve the issue under this Four-Party frame and keep others out.

No wonder something was always bugging me when it's just Vietnam and Philippines making noises，Now with Malaysia，it feels complete.

三缺一 or "Need a fourth" is always the worst thing when you want a game of Mahjong

How old are you brother? Stop insulting people, period. Taxi has nothing to do with this thread. You are now talking some irrelevant and childish things in this thread. Maybe you need to stay away from this thread brother. Or maybe take a holiday from PDF too. Or we can create a cai luong thread and we can chill together there.

Apologies to the people of Malaysia.
