US President Donald Trump’s decision to nominate outspoken internet personality Nick Adams as the next ambassador to Malaysia has sparked both controversy and curiosity.

Known for his fiery right-wing views, Adams’ appointment is raising fresh scrutiny over his diplomatic qualifications—and what this move signals about the future of US-Malaysia relations.

While critics have voiced concern and disbelief, others speculate that Adams’ close alignment with Trump could offer strategic advantages.

On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Shahriman Lockman, Director (Special Projects) at the Institute of Strategic and International Studies, Malaysia, to find out more.
