In his letter Pak Lah, tell Howard our strong stand on Iraq , Keewee has missed some important issues unaddressed.

Although public reiteration of Malaysia's opposition to the 2003 Iraq War and demand for immediate withdrawal of all foreign, including US and Australian, troops are important, what are also equally important are:

One, Pak Lah must not concede to any behind-the-scene request for foreign troops, especially US and Australia, to be stationed permanently in the Straits of Malacca or any parts of Malaysia's land, air and sea territory.

Malaysians must be aware of secret military or security treaties, arrangements, protocols and what not giving away our sovereignty, territorial integrity and independence without any public knowledge.

Two, Pak Lah must not in any way entertain any Australian proposal to turn Malaysia effectively into a mercenary of the Washington-London-Tokyo-Canberra axis against any third countries.
