Deputy Defence Minister Adly on Monday (Oct 21) said the issue involving a Penang school being visited by Chinese navy crew members should not be a matter of concern, as the navies of other countries have also docked in Malaysia in the past.

00:00
Thank you, Your Honour.
00:02
Thank you, Your Honour.
00:03
May I speak a little longer?
00:04
Because this is a national security issue, Your Honour.
00:07
Your Honour, less than two weeks after the government of Penang
00:12
gave an extraordinary service to the Classes of Chinese Navy
00:17
that docked on Penang Island on 8 October,
00:20
today, the Chinese Coast Guard, CZG 5102,
00:27
has invaded the Malaysian maritime zone
00:29
and illegally docked on the island.
00:33
To the extent that the TALDN has been forced to order the KD Selangor ship
00:38
to carry out the mission of imitating the presence of this Chinese ship
00:42
on this island.
00:44
My question to the Minister,
00:46
this year alone, how many incidents of invasions
00:51
or incidents of Chinese ships
00:54
that were found illegally docked
00:56
in the Penang Island area
00:58
where they stopped and unloaded the ships?
01:01
Because this is an act that violates international law.
01:05
And how many diplomatic veto notes
01:09
have been submitted by the TALDN to the Wisma Putra side
01:12
to raise an official state protest against China?
01:16
That is why, for me, the service of the government of Penang Island
01:19
to the Chinese Coast Guard is not correct,
01:26
not sensitive, not fair.
01:28
We ask all countries, including China,
01:31
to make a phone call.
01:33
To make a phone call.
01:35
Because when they come, they shop and shop.
01:38
But other countries do not invade our country.
01:42
Those who invade our country are from China.
01:46
Which one?
01:47
Look, they have illegally built the port.
01:49
This is not a discussion session.
01:51
Okay.
01:52
In the end, they always invade.
01:53
Even if they stop, they have to answer this question.
01:56
Honourable Minister.
01:58
Thank you, Honourable Minister.
02:01
On the question of the addition that was raised,
02:03
Dato, you are the advisor, as mentioned by Honourable Minister,
02:08
about the port of call.
02:10
We actually know that we, in this defense,
02:14
we always cooperate with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
02:19
For us to ensure that when there is a request
02:22
from foreign naval ships to invade our country,
02:27
we will cooperate with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
02:31
to ensure that the purpose and purpose is to have common good.
02:39
Whether we share information
02:41
or share experiences.
02:45
Therefore, I think what is happening in Penang
02:49
or in any other country,
02:51
Sabah also has a port of call.
02:52
In Port Klang too.
02:55
If you look at the latest,
02:57
the USA itself also has a port of call in Port Klang.
03:04
And recently I went on a ship from Italy,
03:06
and also from Germany and Russia.
03:10
As mentioned by Tanah Merah, from China.
03:12
I think it does not have to be a polemic for us,
03:16
as long as it is under the control and laws of our country.
03:19
That is the most important.
03:20
Therefore, if we look at part of this port of call,
03:23
there are activities with the community.
03:25
As was also answered by the Minister of Education
03:29
from the cadet students of the army.
03:33
So that's how it is if we look at Penang Island.
03:37
There was also a school in Sabah,
03:41
as an example.
03:43
They also implemented community programs
03:47
in the port of call program in 2019.
03:50
So if we look at...
03:51
Mr. Minister, other countries are not as good as ours.
03:54
We know that we are an excluded country.
03:58
Our attitude is important to us.
04:00
And secondly, when it comes to the importance of Ali's party,
04:03
we all know.
04:04
We all know that it is a challenge to us.
04:07
China Coast Guard, and for the Ministry of Defense,
04:10
we do not want to be seen as an offensive party
04:14
to this Coast Guard.
04:16
Because we know that it is under our responsibility.
04:19
We work together with APMM,
04:22
so that our maritime can also communicate.
04:25
What was said earlier about our objections,
04:28
we will always make our diplomatic objections
04:31
to Wisma Putra.
04:33
And it is our responsibility as a ministry.
04:36
We know that the responsibility of each country
04:39
has its own responsibility.
04:41
But what I want to say, Mr. President,
04:44
is that we, Malaysia,
04:46
the hardest thing is that we want the South China Sea
04:49
to be a safe sea.
04:51
We know that we have the principle of freedom of navigation.
04:54
We have the principle of...
04:57
I ask you not to disturb me first.
05:01
We know that we have these principles.
05:03
So I hope that our safety and security
05:07
in the South China Sea will be our priority.
05:10
That's why I always say that Malaysia,
05:12
one of the principles we use is our defense diplomacy.
05:16
China, we know that we have been working together
05:18
for more than 50 years.
05:19
And this year we are celebrating our 50th anniversary
05:23
with Malaysia and China.
05:25
So we take advantage of this.
05:27
Maybe it's different from our neighbors,
05:29
like the Philippines and Vietnam.
05:31
But for us, Malaysia,
05:33
as long as we take advantage of this diplomacy,
05:35
we can carry out our economic activities,
05:38
such as our oil exploration,
05:40
our fishing activities,
05:44
our tourism activities,
05:46
and our trading activities,
05:48
especially in the sea.
05:49
As long as we can carry it out safely,
05:51
that is our main priority for Malaysia.
05:55
That's all, Mr. President.
05:56
Mr. President, you didn't answer my question.
05:59
I want to ask,
06:00
how many incidents of change
06:02
and how many diplomatic notes?
06:04
Those two questions were not answered.
06:07
Mr. President, you can answer in writing.
06:10
Let's move on to the second question.
