Quick Summary:

THERE are many advantages to being actively neutral at a time of heightened geopolitical tensions, and Malaysia should not just leverage the BRICS group of emerging economies to achieve its goals or aims.

Joining BRICS may lead Malaysia towards defining itself as one group of major powers against another.

He notes that two high-income and highly competitive economies, Singapore and Switzerland, adopt active neutrality and in the case of Singapore, it leverages on free trade agreements (FTAs) to engage with the rest of the world.“Malaysia, as the incoming chair of Asean, should promote Asean centrality in engaging with the rest of the world, whilst providing the much-needed leadership for Asean,” he adds.
