Malaysian PM declares 'no

evidence' Russia shot down

MH17

Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad says he does not believe Russia launched the BUK missile that brought down MH17, killing all 298 on board, including one New Zealander and 38 Australians.

The Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777 was travelling from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur when it was shot down over the conflict zone in eastern Ukraine on July 17, 2014.

New Zealander Rob Ayley, 27, who lived in Otaki with his wife Sharlene and two young children, was the only New Zealand victim of the crash.

Last year Australia and The Netherlands accused the Russian Federation of direct involvement in the plane's fate after Dutch investigators announced they had "legal and convincing evidence that would stand up in a courtroom".

The Dutch-led Joint Investigation Team (JIT) — comprising investigators from Australia, Belgium, Malaysia, the Netherlands and Ukraine — released a report in May 2018 stating that the missile system used to bring down the plane was owned by the Russian army.

"Based on these findings, the only conclusion we can reasonably now draw is that Russia was directly involved in the downing of MH17," Australia's then-prime minister and foreign minister Malcolm Turnbull and Julie Bishop said in a joint statement.

"The Russian Federation must be held to account for its conduct in the downing of MH17 over eastern Ukraine, which resulted in the tragic deaths of 298 passengers and crew, including 38 people who called Australia home."

But in a bombshell speech to the Japanese Foreign Correspondents Club (JFCC) on Thursday, Dr Mahathir was having none of it, accusing those who blamed Russia of scapegoating the nation for "political" reasons.

Mahathir said his government agreed the plane was brought down by a Russian missile but could not be certain the missile was launched by Russia.

"They are accusing Russia but where is the evidence? We know the missile that brought down the plane is a Russian type missile, but it could also be made in Ukraine," Dr Mahathir told the JFCC.

Malaysian PM Mahathir proposes new regional currency based on gold

Mahathir was criticised for being authoritarian during a first stint in office from 1981-2003

Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad on Thursday (May 30) proposed to create a new “special currency” for the region based on gold, replacing the existing currency trading regime.

Speaking at a dialogue session at the 25th International Conference on The Future of Asia (Nikkei Conference), he claimed that a regional currency based on gold would be more stable.

The prime minister said that by pegging the new currency to gold, it could be used to evaluate the import and export activities among East Asian countries.

“We can make settlement using that (new) currency. That currency must be pegged to the local currency as the exchange rate, which is something that can be related to the country’s performance,” he said.

“That way we know how much we owe, how much we have to pay in the special currency of East Asia."

The new currency could also be extended to countries outside East Asia, he said.

Dr Mahathir noted that the global market is now tied to the US dollar, and this makes the currency prone to manipulation.

“Just because that one country is affected, there is infection to the other countries. Malaysia was very stable way back in 1997 (during the Asian financial crisis) ... but because of the problem occurring in Thailand, they said we must peg the Malaysian currency (to the US dollar),” he recounted.

“What happened? The currency traders sold the Malaysian currency and the value of Malaysian currency depreciated.”

“This currency trading is not something that is healthy because it is not about the (economic) performance of countries but it is about manipulation.”

When asked if the Japanese yen or Chinese yuan could be used as the common currency in the region, the prime minister replied: “If we are trying to promote our own currency, there will be conflict."

“But if we have a common currency for East Asia, a common trading currency that is not used in each country but for the purpose of settlement trade only, then there will be stability,” he said.

“Trying to promote the yen or the yuan is not the way to go.”

US SHOULD STOP LABELLING OTHER COUNTRIES: MAHATHIR

Earlier this week, the United States added Malaysia to a watchlist of trading partners for currency practices, citing its foreign exchange intervention operations.

Malaysia’s central bank has refuted the claim. In a statement on Wednesday, it said the Malaysian economy remains resilient, underpinned by strong economic fundamentals, including the flexibility accorded by a floating exchange rate and strong external balance.

"Malaysia supports free and fair trade, and does not practise unfair currency practices," it said.

Other countries, including Singapore, China, Germany, Japan, South Korea and Vietnam were also added to the list.

On Thursday, Dr Mahathir hit out at the US for “labelling countries”.

“The US is fond of labelling that country is no good, this country is no good and telling countries on ways to conduct their business,” he said.

“You are not democratic. That is not for any single power to decide. If you want to live in a united world, stable world, we must resort to sustainability through agreement between all nations that have a stake in that problem."
