Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad has lodged a police report against Malaysia’s Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim regarding the Agreement on Reciprocal Trade (ART) between Malaysia and the United States.

According to Sinar Harian, the former prime minister claimed that Datuk Seri Anwar’s actions were taken without the full mandate of the entities meant to represent the Federation of Malaysia.

“The agreement is not valid because he (Anwar) is not the sole representative of the Federation. Such agreements should require the consent of four main entities: the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, Dewan Rakyat, Council of Rulers and the executive (government),” Dr Mahathir said during a press conference after making the report at the Putrajaya district police headquarters on Dec 2.

Dr Mahathir said approval from all four parties was not obtained, rendering the agreement unconstitutional.

“The agreement document is 400 pages long but has never been disclosed to the public. There are many clauses stating that our country’s powers are handed over to the United States, requiring us to refer actions to them and allowing them to determine what can or cannot be done,” he said.

Commenting on the status and position of the bumiputera – Malays and indigenous minorities – in the agreement, Dr Mahathir explained that the matter was not directly mentioned.

“In this agreement, all bumiputera privileges cannot be imposed on American goods or trade. This means US powers override bumiputera privileges, and any benefits given to bumiputera must also be given to the US,” he said.

Dr Mahathir also stated that police should investigate whether Mr Anwar had violated national laws or the Constitution. He noted that more than 139 police reports have been lodged nationwide by individuals and non-governmental organisations over the same issue.

The ART, signed by Mr Anwar and US President Donald Trump on Oct 26, is aimed at boosting economic activity in both countries, adjusting tariffs and strengthening Malaysia-US cooperation.

as if he did everything with the conset from all those entiti

actually this Tun M teach us one thing.
If dont retire, you will live past 100.

glad atuk bring this up.
i dont agree with atuk on many things but sometimes he does the right thing.

Tak boleh tau! Dia sayangi olang Mehlayuh! Mesti pertahankan hak mereka dan harta anak tersayang..... oh wait.

Such agreements should require the consent of four main entities: the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, Dewan Rakyat, Council of Rulers and the executive (government)
Doesnt matter who complain, the statement is true or not? if true PM need to explain to Rakyat

ART is not beneficial to Malaysia that's for sure but with so many countries acceding to the request, those who do not agree to it are bound to suffer badly.

Suffer as in how? Loss of jobs, businesses closing down and massive tariffs that would send out semiconductor industry back into the Stone Age, and foreign investors would exit our country.

We just have to ride through this Trump Administration and renegotiate when a new administration comes in. We cant be whinning over something that we have no control over.

for instance, we go to bank to borrow money, the bank say will only lend us the money if we give this collateral and at X% rate. Have you ever seen a borrower say, 'I don't want to give you collateral, and I wan Y% rate?

I think a lot of people are delusional, as though Malaysia is a global economic powerhouse and the rest of the world is dependent on us and we can negotiate a better outcome compared to other countries in the world.

Lastly, for those who are against ART, they forget to tell you, whether deliberately or not, within the next few months (Dec 25 to June 26, latest), the US Supreme Court will be deciding on whether the Trump Administration can impose tariffs. Based on the latest up-to-date consensus, it is very likely the Trump Administration will lose, and all tariffs imposed by Trump will be removed.

Which essentially would mean putting us back to pre-Trump Administrartion tariff situation.

So have fun biting each others head off over nothing.

the sensei and the student still never ending story

who's the guy left of mamak?

Correct, the tariff is just a manufactured crisis created by Trump.

We should not allow such a bullying tactic to force us to sign agreements which will give our country sovereignty to America, that is the biggest mistake.

Tariff is not gonna last, it is just a bully tactic used to kowtow countries to America's greedy demand.

Anwar needs to step down for giving away our sovereign rights to rule our country in our interest.

The agreement needs to be nullified immediately.

After i've become a grown man
realized PDRM need to facing bodo reports each everyday doing nonsense layan

That's why government servant are bloated

Please table motion at Parliament next time PDRM has rights to rejects police report on-the-spot via their findings.

what pulis can do?

Puki mamak kuty bila mau mampus?!?!

Fireworks almost expire. Cao Jibpet.

Selalu orang report dia

Now he make report

He cares about "Malaysia" that's all. Do you see other Malaysian politicians doing the same thing? Selling out very pandai.

Cakap apa?

Trump bomb iran nuclear fordo also tak payah congress kan

Anda bukan kerajaan

Tanya atok bila nak buat laporan polis terhadap yahoodi🫢😁🤣

Because he is a bought politician, see who is his largest donor/bribe contributor.

Other anak got wumao dasar pandang DaGe motherland....or Bharat.

He has spoken out against the shops in KL having all Chinese signs, and what's the reaction he gets?

That's where you are wrong. Trump has given a 90-day ultimatum to finalize Art, otherwise tariff will be hit with high tariff, potentially 24% to 50%.

Everyone in the world is subject to the same tariff and those who conform only got hit with 10-19% tariff. If we do not adhere buinsesses will move to other countries, would be a big lost for our country. While you are foaming in the mouth about sovereignty, try eating grass as a substitute, when you don't have money or job.

If there is a better way of doing things, it would have already been thought off. Just like the opposition, screaming of sovereignty and what not, and coming up with empty solutions. No one is looking at the bigger picture, would rather see country crash and burn, fall off a cliff.

MIGA

Just a bluff to bully us into signing the lopsided agreement.

Having a higher tariff is better than giving out our national interest to a foreign country.

In the end, the American who needs to pay the tariff, not us.

We only experienced lower sales, which we can try to tap other nation market then continue engaging with this tariff nonsense.

Even China, such a big economy slapped with a 100%+ tariff, you think Malaysia can survive with our bilateral trade with the US being USD 77 b?

Does anyone want to FAFO?

China has invest too much to become exporter country, so tariff will hurt them much worse, because they heavily rely on America consumer.

Having a higher tariff is better than giving out our national interest to a foreign country.

i guess you will be happy to see MSIA economy and industries in a ruins
and lots unemployed just rempit around ...

the main reason is unfair trade

Large Deficit: The deficit for the full year 2024 was nearly $25 billion for goods alone, making Malaysia a major contributor to the overall U.S. trade imbalance (it was the 14th largest deficit in 2024).


tell me how you will fix this 25B usd deficit eh

USA import from MSIA 50 B usd in goods.
where are u going to sell them , if you get say 35 % tariff ?

Remember MSIA also have tariff on say imported CBU cars. if msia can do why others cannot ?

So, hypothetically, I can lodge police report against NEP/NEM as I find it unfair?

u didnt read?

Not sure if I read wrongly or not, but i think your points support my arguments.

I am more in fvaour of ART, sacrfice that little bit of losses, so that everyone can survive during this difficult times.

We all know who is the Ikan Bosar behind alberto..Lolx

Thanos and gang dah cornered and really running out of time now..

he need to prolong his lies as long as possible until the inevitable exposure

We need this. It is very unfortunate and not favorable on our end but we need this.

As a manufacturer of stickers, the moment u lose your client to another that's it. U beg and pray also no use.
When tariff goes up the roof, my clients will look elsewhere. So will your clients, his clients, her clients .
This damage done is totally not reversible mind u.

Even if tariff is momentarily enforced, it is a jump that's going to happen in reality. No business will say, it's only momentarily, all will start jumping. U dare to open your mouth and give guarantee that this tariff is a momentarily thing only? Nobody would. It's too uncertain. So what is certain is either u move your supply chains and logistic lines to another country that is guaranteed to have a fixed tariff(art signed and confirmed), or u fold. Simple.

Those who say look elsewhere for business, u think so easy ah? U think u are the only ones looking for business as well? Think again.

As much as this programme is not too favorable to us, I also agree DSAI sign this to get us out of deepshit before we ourselves become shitholes

Doubtful that polis got laws to deal with allegations like this. Probably can only forward to chief justice and let the laws department decides if any crime has been committed

There is no such things called unfair trade. Unbalanced trade yes. When you point a gun to ask someone accept a deal that is not in their interests, only then it is unfair trade.😅

Why not make another Police Report against Trump too...

Don't think need consent of Agong and Raja2 Melayu. Not sure if need to be passed in the Parliament.

But even if the Parliament rejects it, it doesn't mean PM can be sued. It's just like a draft bill being rejected by the Parliament only.

What pulis gonna do lah?
Heret Anwar ke balai, gi White House pukul 3 pagi kutip Trump?

Mohon siasat how he knew the content of the document too..

if you commit unbalance trade practice its NOT fair right .

well... you can always walk away from any nego if u feel the gun and accept the consequences .

I think you have no idea what unbalanced trade currently means. It is a common occurrence due to the nature of reality and it is actually fair. You probably had the wrong idea so you think it is wrong.

For example, there is a restaurant you like so you go eat very often and therefore allowing the shop owner to earns 5000 worth of net profit from you in a year. But you are not selling anything that the shop owner wants so you are earning zero profit from him. This results in a deficit of 5000 on the trade balance between you and the shop owner, and this is called unbalanced trade.

If you then go point a gun to the owner, ask him to pay you 5001 to buy a candy from you which cost you 1, so that you will earn 5000 from the owner to offset the trade deficit, then this is called unfair trade to the shop owner.😆
