And while oil to Umnos fire, Clintons public recognition for Malaysias initial significant antithesis will lift huge implications as well as send reverberations across general tactful as well as business corridors nonetheless the supervision here might exclude to acknowledge the development.

In general, it is not startling for U.S. officials to encounter with vital antithesis celebration leaders when they visit 'democracies as well as generally if elections appear to be coming up in the near future.

But already, there is concerted bid by Najib as well as his cohorts to discourage her from bestowing any form of recognition for Anwar as well as his Pakatan colleagues.

When Madeline Albright met with Wan Azizah in 2008, the Government was angry, though they didn't retaliate. If you go to Malaysia as well as do not encounter with Anwar, then you will be criticized in the U.S. by human rights groups as well as important friends of Anwar.
