Lim Kit Siang: Asia Must Unite Against Trump’s Legacy
Former Malaysian Member of Parliament, Tan Sri Lim Kit Siang, has issued a clarion call for Asian unity. His statement, released on July 10, 2025, directly addresses the lingering impact of former US President Donald Trump’s trade war policies.
He urged India, China, Vietnam, Japan, and Indonesia to overcome existing border disputes and collaborate on crucial global issues. This collaboration, he stressed, is vital for achieving sustainable peace and development.
Mr. Siang highlighted the urgent need for concerted action on climate change. He believes that cooperative efforts are essential for building a more equitable and multipolar world order.
The call for Asian unity comes at a time of heightened geopolitical uncertainty. Mr. Siang’s appeal underscores the need for regional cooperation to navigate complex global challenges and safeguard the interests of Asian nations. The success of such a collaboration will be pivotal in shaping a more stable and prosperous future for the region, and indeed, the world.
