PM: Presence of warships in area sending wrong signal

PUTRAJAYA: The presence of warships in the South China Sea and Straits of Malacca is sending the “wrong signal” which is not healthy for peace and stability in the area, says the Prime Minister.

While Malaysia could not enforce a “warship-free area” in the two areas, it was of the opinion that there should be no military vessels nearby, said Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.
