[b]PM warns of ruthless nations
KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 1:
Datuk Seri Dr Mahathir Mohamad today hinted
that certain countries in the region would consider using Malaysia
as their battlefield in the event of war.
The Prime Minister said these countries believed that by adopting
such a strategy, they would be able to prevent the horror of war
from reaching their shores.
"Yes, we have heard that if there is to be war, their defence would
be by preventing it from reaching their borders. Malaysia will be
turned into their battlefield so that war will not reach their
countries." Dr Mahathir said this when asked to elaborate on his
New Year's message that some countries claimed they had the right
to take "pre-emptive action" or "forward defence" that would affect
Malaysia.
He was speaking at a Press conference after attending a New Year
open house hosted by the People's Progressive Party at the Putra
World Trade Centre.
Asked if he was referring
to Singapore, Dr Mahathir said: "That's your assumption, not
mine." In his New Year's message, the Prime Minister had
warned: "We promise that if anyone violates our freedom, they will
get what they (Westerners) call a bloody nose'." On the issue of
terrorism, Dr Mahathir said claims that Malaysia was unsafe and
could fall victim to terror attacks had been proven baseless.
He said the recent Hari Raya and Christmas open house and the New
Year celebrations in many parts of the country last night, which
attracted hundreds of thousands of people, were proof of how safe
Malaysia was.
"I did not see any terrorists," he said. "This was a good chance
for them to do a lot of damage as there were many people crammed
into one street or area.
"But last night, as far as we could see, everybody was feeling very
safe; they were celebrating, they were happy." Dr Mahathir said
claims that Malaysia was a dangerous country were "a lot of
nonsense".
"They make these claims based on something that we cannot
understand. In fact, we see more terrorist attacks in their
countries but here in Malaysia, we are all safe." Dr Mahathir was
also asked about the impasse over the price of water sold to
Singapore, to which he said Malaysia "would think of something to
resolve it".
He added that Malaysia had not considered taking the matter to
arbitration
