Malaysia’s Dilemmatic South China Sea Policy under Muhyiddin Yassin

East Asian Policy (EAP), 2021, vol. 13, issue 03, 5-18

Abstract: Malaysia’s South China Sea policy under the current Perikatan Nasional government is largely consistent with its previous approach, except for some minor recalibrations. Although Malaysia continues to pursue a “low-profile” approach by de-emphasising the problem and suppressing nationalist sentiment over the issue, it does however, selectively display increased willingness in taking a harder stand when it comes to preserving sovereignty in the disputed waters, especially when there is a spike of nationalist sentiment among Malaysians.
