KUALA LUMPUR: Any individual’s appointment as an informal adviser to the Asean Chair are made strictly on the basis of their expertise and experience in geopolitics and regional affairs, particularly in relation to Myanmar, says Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
In a written parliamentary reply, the Prime Minister said the question of conducting background checks “does not arise” as those selected are figures who previously held the highest offices in their respective countries, especially in international affairs.
