Diplomats' recall an internal matter that needs prudent handling, says Syed Hamid


KUALA LUMPUR: Wisma Putra's recall of senior diplomats for reported failures during the Prime Minister's visit to the United Arab Emirates last month is an internal matter that should be resolved prudently, says a former foreign affairs minister.

Tan Sri Syed Hamid Albar (pic) stressed that politicisation of the issue by any quarters would affect the image of the Foreign Affairs Ministry and the government, as well as Malaysia's reputation on the international stage.
