Malaysia’s Defence Minister slams Norway after Malaysia’s missile contract was cancelled: Malaysia deeply regrets Norway's decision to cancel the export of the naval strike missile system intended for Malaysia. It raises a deeply troubling question about whether international agreements and strategic partnerships can still be trusted at all. If even a nation well known for awarding the Nobel Peace Prize could abandon commitments without consequences, then international relations are no longer governed by principles. They are governed by personal whim — and that is extremely dangerous. When developing nations violate agreements they face condemnation and pressure. But when powerful countries or their allies do the same, the international response becomes conspicuously muted. This deafening silence sends a dangerous message that some countries are simply above scrutiny.
