Analysis Plan:
- Introduction: Hook the reader by highlighting the tension between two prominent figures on a critical national issue (foreign policy). Introduce the core disagreement: Mahathir’s view vs. Anwar’s policy direction.
- Mahathir’s Stance: Detail Mahathir’s specific criticisms. Why does he call the policy “naive”? What does he mean by Malaysia now fearing the US and favoring China? What are his stated reasons or historical perspectives?

- Historical Context/Mahathir’s Legacy: Briefly touch upon Mahathir’s own foreign policy during his time. How does his criticism reflect his past approach or philosophy (e.g., non-alignment, “Look East,” balancing powers)?
- Implications/Analysis: Discuss the potential implications of this foreign policy debate for Malaysia. How might it affect Malaysia’s relationships with the US and China? What are the internal political dynamics at play? Is Mahathir’s view widely shared, or is it a minority opinion? Analyze the concept of “fear” vs. “favoring” – is it fear, or strategic calculation? Is it favoring, or pragmatic engagement?
- Conclusion: Summarize the key points of the debate. Offer a final thought on the complexity of navigating major power relations for a smaller nation like Malaysia and the ongoing relevance of this strategic discussion.
