Malaysia slams 'deafening silence' over scrapped Norway missile deal
Malaysia criticized the "deafening silence" from major powers on Sunday over the collapse of its deal with Norway for a naval missile system, saying it "sends a dangerous message" about the integrity of international contracts.
The two countries have fallen into a diplomatic dispute this month since Norway revoked export approvals for certain technologies.
Oslo says the move has not intentionally targeted Malaysia, but Kuala Lumpur is still seeking over $251 million in compensation from the Norwegian company involved in the deal.
Malaysian Defence Minister Mohamed Khaled Nordin condemned the lack of strong reaction from other countries to "Norway's unilateral decision" at a major defence forum in Singapore.
