KUALA LUMPUR, July 21 (Bernama) -- The Foreign Ministry has yet to receive any application from the United States (US) regarding the nomination of conservative commentator and writer, Nick Adams as the new US Ambassador to Malaysia.
Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan said any information regarding the matter would be brought to the Cabinet for its views and consideration before any decision is made.
"Regarding Nick Adams, we have not received an agreement from the US. Let's leave it for now, let's see how it goes. Of course Wisma Putra will provide views and considerations to be brought to the Cabinet and the Cabinet will decide on it," he said during a question and answer session at the Dewan Rakyat today.
Mohamad was responding to a supplementary question by Abdul Latiff Abdul Rahman (PN-Kuala Krai) regarding the nomination of Nick Adams as US Ambassador to Malaysia.
International media had previously reported that US President Donald Trump had nominated Nick Adams, an Australian-born conservative political commentator who is now a US citizen, as the US Ambassador to Malaysia.
However, Communications Minister Datuk Fahmi Fadzil was reported to have said that the Cabinet had yet to receive a memorandum from Wisma Putra regarding the appointment.
