Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad cautioned countries like the Philippines to "regulate or limit influences from China".

KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad (pic) said that big power rivalry and foreign interference swirling around the Middle East is yet another reminder why Malaysia and Asean must be forever vigilant against big power involvement in the region.

The Prime Minister said if Malaysia and Asean were not careful, the same fate that had befallen the Middle East could happen as well with the same predictable consequences.
