Sometimes it's easy to put the blame on the sabotaging element as the cause of the disaster. But having experienced working in the government myself, I know full well that the public servants love & loyal to nothing else but their job security. And to sabotage an event as big as a diplomatic visit is totally very unlikely, as the culprit can easily be detected, hence jeopardizing their job that they love so much. In my opinion, sir, based on experience working under PH in 2018, most of the time, the new minister gave orders on things that are totally impossible to implement, and if the public servants expressed their professional opinion that such orders are unachievable, the new minister would ask back, "Then what are you paid for?" (based on real stories).

In this case, I honestly think that the officers at the Wisma Putra already advised the relevant minister on the impossibility of the diplomatic visit (last minute arrangement, early Ramadhan), but most likely the opinion fell on deaf ears, most likely because the foreign minister wanted to be on good side of the Prime Minister (moreover so when the said minister came from the same political party & state as the graft-tainted Deputy Prime Minister). The rest is history.

Saud family admires tun mahathir. Infact they like the fact that we help bosnian muslims and afghanistans by allowing them to seek refuge in malaysia. Syed mokhtar was instrumental in this charitable endeavours durimg tun's time. Pmx not so much.

Political intrigue keeps everyone interested. If the civil servants in the Foreign ministry are playing games, they should be sacked… loyalty of civil servants is to the public esp the tax payers.

Also, that perhaps is part of Anwar’s makeup… he’s not very straight, forth right with stuff rakyat should know.

Only God can help us poor Malaysians.

Keep praying for our country.
