Malaysia is awash with unsold palm oil. The squalid Marxist state of
North Korea receives more food aid than any other nation. Based on
this, it is laughable for Malaysia to state the decision was made on
"humanitarian grounds." If the deal was truly for humanitarian
reasons the oil would be donated as food aid. The deal is really a
chance to drain some of Malaysia's surplus oil palm lake and get steel
and magnesia in return.


Wonder why you're so indignant though. When the United States invaded
Iraq they did so in the name of liberty. But they had people questioning
why the US didnt just come out and say they did it for the oil. I'm
pretty used to govts. masking their true intentions by now.

What has Iraq got to do with this? And I am not indignant; Malaysia
can sell palm oil to whom it wishes. But they should be honest about
it instead of passing the deal of as a humanitarian gesture.
