Kuala lumpur: Malaysia's position is to help mediate and ensure the cessation of hostilities in the Thailand and Cambodia border issue, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim. The decision is entirely up to the Thais and the Cambodians, he said. "We (Malaysia) don't decide," he added, in response to a question during a special press conference here on Tuesday. According to BERNAMA News Agency, the Prime Minister stated that the criticism levelled against Malaysia was based on pure ignorance and prejudice. He addressed questions concerning Malaysia's role as the mediator in the ongoing issue. Anwar emphasized that any decision, whether it be the Kuala Lumpur Peace Accords, the General Border Committee meetings, or meetings coordinated by Malaysia's Foreign Minister and other international figures, must be consistent with the KL Accords and require full participation and agreement from both Thailand and Cambodia. Anwar explained that he has consistently taken a 'very reserved' and 'cautious' approach in discussions with both Thai Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul and Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet. He also mentioned that Malaysia's Chief of Armed Forces and Foreign Minister are in continuous contact with their counterparts in Thailand and Cambodia. Earlier at the press conference, Anwar expressed his approval of the agreement by Cambodia and Thailand to consolidate their ceasefire through direct talks held in China. He noted that the swift transition from a cessation of hostilities to structured follow-up discussions reflects a commitment to stabilize the situation and prevent a relapse into conflict. "I am grateful for China's role in hosting these discussions and in providing a setting in which both sides were able to focus on practical steps to reduce risk and rebuild confidence. Such facilitation is most valuable when it supports de-escalation and reinforces regional efforts," he said. Anwar also acknowledged the significant role of United States President Donald J. Trump, whose involvement helped broker the Kuala Lumpur Peace Accords, thereby contributing to the cessation of hostilities. "That involvement contributed to creating the political space in which the parties were able to step back from confrontation and commit to restraint," Anwar concluded.
