Middle East - Can We Remain Neutral?

Two weeks ago, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak made a working visit to Saudi Arabia, at the invitation of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman Abdulaziz Al Saud. More recently, the government issued a statement that it stood in solidarity with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, over ballistic missile attacks by Houthi rebels in Yemen. Today we ask about consequences of taking sides in the Yemen crisis, and how we can negotiate the changing politics of the Middle East.
