KUALA LUMPUR (Nov 27): The government has urged local manufacturing companies to take heed of the final destination of goods exported to foreign countries to avoid being affected by the sanctions imposed by the United States (US) on Russia.<\/p>\n

Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan stressed that although Malaysia does not adopt the unilateral sanctions imposed by the US on Russia, which were not decided by the United Nations, the country does not want to bear any consequences if there is non-compliance.<\/p>\n

\u201cAmerica may sometimes act \u2018unpredictably\u2019. It may apply an even worse \u2018secondary sanction\u2019 on Malaysia.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe do not want stringent actions from the US by imposing \u2018secondary sanctions\u2019 on our country, as we might be in a tough situation by then,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He was replying to a supplementary question from Suhaizan Kaiat (PN-Pulai) in the Dewan Rakyat regarding the impact of Malaysia\u2019s participation in BRICS.<\/p>\n

Mohamad also explained that he had received a notice from the US to impose sanctions on several companies in the country and stressed that three of the six companies listed in the notice were not manufacturing companies but rather trading companies.<\/p>\n

The three companies could still be charged under the Customs Act 1967 for making false declarations regarding their goods and country of origin, he said.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Mohamad highlighted that Malaysia\u2019s participation, which has been accepted as a BRICS partner country, will not change the country\u2019s role in any intergovernmental coalition at the global level.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt will further expand our role, especially in the economic field. I have already sent a letter of response to my counterpart from Russia as the BRICS chairman this year, and we are very happy with the decisions made during the recent BRICS summit in Kazan,\u201d he added. \u2013 Bernama<\/p>\n
