The bilateral meeting between Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak and US President Barack Obama served nothing but the submission of the Malaysian government to the imperialist US as its new foot soldiers of “War on Terror” in Southeast Asia.

Prime Minister Najib recently attended the 2-day Nuclear Security Summit in Washington, which achieved very little in promoting disarmament, but created conditions for stepping-up sanctions against Iran, a country in the oil-rich region that has refused to subordinate itself to US Imperialism. It has become clear that Obama's foreign policy is far from breaking with the aggressive expansionist approach under the Bush administration, but is more in line with the imperialist goal of achieving military domination of the world.

No To Coup in Honduras!
Restore Demoracy! Reinstate the Democratically Elected President!

Socialist Party of Malaysia (PSM) strongly condemns the coup d'etat organised by the military and right-wing political elite in Honduras on 28 June 2009, which ousted the democratically elected President Manuel Zelaya.

The coup took place just hours before the people of Honduras go out to vote on a consultative referendum concerning whether to rewrite the constitution. The current Honduran Constitution which was written in 1982 during the height of the US administration's dirty war in Central America, was designed to ensure the ruling elite who have closed ties with the US imperialist to consolidate their powers with little interference from the ordinary people.
