PAS lawmaker blasted for ‘monkey-ing' PMX's role as mediator in Thai-Cambodia conflict
Editor's Update: It has been reported that renewed clashes have erupted along the Thailand-Cambodia border hours after PMX's-brokered ceasefire was reached between both nations. The Royal Thai Army has accused Cambodian forces of overnight attacks in Phu Makheua that caused exchanges of fire that lasted into the morning. Renewed clashes have erupted along the Thailand-Cambodia border hours after a ceasefire was reached between the 2 nations. The Royal Thai Army has accused Cambodian forces of overnight attacks in Phu Makheua that caused exchanges of fire that lasted into the morning. 🧵1 — BFM News (@NewsBFM) July 29, 2025 NEVER mind if US president Donald Trump wants to claim credit for brokering peace in the Thailand-Cambodia stand-off. But if one has nothing good to say about Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim who, too, was notably instrumental in the ceasefire accord, better say nothing at all. That was the advice proffered to PAS information chief Fadhli Shaari by DAP lawmaker Syahredzan Johan. The latter pointed out that the Pasir Mas MP was a known acquaintance and is very vocal in criticising PMX. That was fine according to the Bangi MP as it is his prerogative as an opposition MP. But there was no need for Fadhli to mock the efforts of PMX in mediating in the Thai-Cambodia border conflict. He was responding to a since deleted post on Fadhli's social media platforms which depicted PMX's role akin to a monkey mediating between a goat and sheep fighting over a banana. As chair of ASEAN, Malaysia was definitely expected to play a vital role in trying to resolve a conflict that has claimed dozens of lives and displaced thousands. As widely reported, Anwar was successful in brokering a ceasefire between the warring neighbours. Not wanting to allow an opportunity for political point scoring to slip, Syahredzan used this episode of Fadhli's folly to paint a picture of Malaysia under Perikatan Nasional (PN) rule. This was a clear indication of the nation's stance towards any regional conflict with the likes of Fadhli in Putrajaya, warned Syahredzan. Not content with Fadhli merely deleting the offensive post, the DAP national vice-chairman demanded that the PAS legislator apologise to PMX and to the people of Thailand and Cambodia. The post has already generated 1.5K likes, 338 comments, 394 comments and 277 shares at time of writing, underlining that the PAS lawmaker's faux paus has not gone unnoticed. Some commenters stated that Fadhli is seen as one of the Islamist party's brightest sparks. 'Can you imagine what the less bright within the party's ranks are like?' they mockingly asked. One commenter demanded that elected reps have the requisite academic qualifications – notably a diploma or degree – to hold office. Same as when a person is job-hunting, these MPs must be suitably qualified. Lamenting that Malaysians deserve better elected representatives, he argued that such incompetence needed to be erased. One commenter even argued that while DAP is constantly demonised for being anti-Islam, its leaders tend to display greater moral aptitude compared to its peers from the Islamist party. This episode was just an abuse of the freedom of speech, he added. This is just another example of PAS being blinkered in its approach. It is the consequence of playing to the gallery and constant fault finding with PMX and the Madani administration – sometimes it just backfires rather spectacularly. All that Fadhli seems to have succeeded in doing is to bring shame to himself, his party and the nation. – July 30, 2025 Post-script: Even human rights activist and lawyer Siti Kasim who is no PMX fan has stood by the latter in this instance for credit must be given if it's due.
