00:01Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has slammed a conservative American political commentator
00:07for mocking Chinese President Xi Jinping's official visits to Malaysia, Vietnam, and Cambodia.
00:13He said Bill O'Reilly's comments reflect the former Fox News host's xenophobia, racism, and Islamophobia.
00:20This is an extreme example of a person who is a real scientist and is wise and thinks it's only the country and the country who is the most successful.
00:35Of course, he doesn't understand the same about Asia, ASEAN, and new development.
00:42In the clips shared widely on social media, O'Reilly questioned the economic value of Beijing's outreach to the Southeast Asian nations.
00:49Hey, President Xi, let me just break it to you.
00:53Those folks have no money at all, okay?
00:56They cannot help you, they're not going to buy your stuff.
00:58They don't have any money.
00:59Because we have the money, we buy the stuff.
01:02The Meleys aren't going to buy your stuff, they don't have any money.
01:05Anwar said O'Reilly's remarks were narrow and outdated,
01:08and urged Malaysians not to be overly concerned by such views.
01:12And this is what we call in the field of science and social science,
01:16as a common thought,
01:19a thought that is carried out with an imperialist's voice and encouragement.
