Resist pressure from the US

MALAYSIAN politicians and NGO activists who have been pleading with American President George W. Bush to pressurise Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi on certain domestic issues have very little understanding of how the superpower exploits such concerns to achieve its own nefarious foreign policy goals. 

The United States government is not really bothered whether jailed former Deputy Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim is allowed to go overseas for medical treatment or not or whether Kumpulan Militan Malaysia (KMM) detainees are put on trial or not.
