Malaysia for NAM support to Iran
 PUTRAJAYA: Non-Aligned Movement chairman Malaysia called on Monday for the 114-member grouping to back Iran's right to nuclear technology, accusing the West of nuclear double-standards.
| Alrighty then. We know which side they're on. |
Malaysian Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, normally soft-spoken and diplomatic, used his opening speech at a NAM meeting to contrast the West's tough approach towards Iran with what he described as inaction over Israel's nuclear advances. "Allowing Israel to develop nuclear weapons with impunity - which it does not deny - while others in the region are prohibited from doing so, is a blatant case of double standard," he told the meeting in Malaysia's administrative capital. "In this matter, we must recognise Iran's right to develop such technology for peaceful purposes," he added.
