Rename South China Sea like our Asean neighbours, says Tumpat MP

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia should have its own name for the South China Sea, just like its Asean neighbours, says an opposition MP.

“Can we rename as Southeast Asia Sea (Laut Asia Tenggara) or Melayu Sea (Laut Melayu) or another name that shows that the sea is in our territory and would not be confused with the other names,” Mumtaz Md Nawi (PN-Tumpat) said in Dewan Rakyat on Tuesday (Oct 22).
