KUALA LUMPUR, October 28 \u2013 The 47th Asean Summit has reached its final day, concluding an almost\u00a0 week-long historical diplomatic milestone for Malaysia.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Aside from various multilateral meetings and strengthening of economic ties with KLCC being the ground zero \u2013 local social media users have also joined in the fun, sharing their comments and posts from the many highlights from the summit and here are some of it:<\/p>\n
\u2018Raikan Cinta\u2019 with PMX<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Local broadcaster Radio Televisyen Malaysia (RTM) shared a short clip on TikTok of prime minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim enjoying the performance by legendary singer Datuk M.Nasir at the Asean Gala Dinner last night.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Anwar can be seen standing up while clapping his hands as M.Nasir performs his hit song Raikan Cinta\u2019(Celebrate Love) \u2013 as the clip goes on, Anwar, who found his groove, even lets out a few dance moves.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And local social media users loved it with some even defending Anwar, saying that PMX deserves a little time off.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHe has been working so hard, let him enjoy just a little bit,\u201d commented user lilianmishael78.<\/p>\n
\u201cLet him release some steam, being a host is tiring \u2013 just like when guests visit your house during Hari Raya,\u201d commented user MS232730.<\/p>\n
\u201cI enjoyed seeing him at ease, just like our fathers when they watched their favourite artists,\u201d commented user Momomomomi.<\/p>\n
RTM\u2019s post has been viewed over 600,000 times with over 30,000 likes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Beast x \u2018Budi95\u2019?<\/p>\n
One of the main highlights from the Asean Summit is definitely the historic visit by US president Donald Trump who came to the summit from KLIA riding his cutting-edge official transport car, the Cadillac One or also known by its nickname \u2018The Beast\u2019 on last Sunday (October 26).\u00a0<\/p>\n
Trump even invited Anwar to ride with him from the airport to the summit, breaking usual diplomatic and security protocol.\u00a0<\/p>\n
However, a photo of \u2018The Beast\u2019 stopping by at a Petronas station to fuel up has caught the attention of local social media users, with many poking fun relating the situation with the recent fuel subsidy initiative Budi95 programme laid out by the Malaysian government.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo wonder Trump invited PMX to ride with him on The Beast, he wanted to borrow Anwar\u2019s IC,\u201d Facebook user Hazril Hafiz cheekily captioned his post.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cTrump also wants to try out subsidised fuel,\u201d commented Facebook user Adli Zaimi.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cTrump must have been fuming at PMX for selling fuel at a cheap price,\u201d user Rozaidi Mustafa commented.\u00a0<\/p>\n
High-fiving police\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Asean Summit has also seen several temporary road closures at major highways and also key routes around the city centre\u2013 even Ampang Park was designated as a red zone due to its close proximity to the Summit with heavy police presence to monitor the area.\u00a0<\/p>\n
However this did\u00a0not stop a group of local skaters from enjoying their usual pastime\u00a0at the MRT Ampang Park\u2019s skatepark.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A TikTok clip shared by user haziq has been raking up views which shows a rare moment of communal love between KL police and the skateboarding community where in the video showed a local skater skateboarding at the park while being watched by a large group of police.\u00a0<\/p>\n
One of the officers was even seen giving the skater a high-five after he successfully pulled a skateboarding trick in front of him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSee, when the police are this friendly, everyone will feel safe. Please normalise police being friendly with the community,\u201d commented user mz4zm_ .<\/p>\n
\u201cThe cop was so chill, it\u2019s such a vibe,\u201d commented TikTok user 666.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Haziq\u2019s TikTok post has been viewed over 400,000 times with over 30,000 likes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Shoutout from the White House\u00a0<\/p>\n
Another key online moment from the summit was when the official TikTok page for the US\u2019s presidential administration, the White House, re-shared a clip of a Malaysian fighter jet welcoming Air Force One into Malaysian airspace.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The TikTok post which was shared on Sunday, was initially shared on X by the White House\u2019s special assistant to the president and communication advisor, Margo Martin.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The clip showcased a Royal Malaysian Air Force F\/A-18 escorting the official aircraft carrying Trump as they entered Malaysian airspace.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The post has also prompted over a thousand comments including from several local TikTok users, who coined the gesture as an extension of Malaysian hospitality.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMalaysian hospitality is above political beliefs or religion,\u201d commented user Nedxree.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMalaysia hospitality is always on top,\u201d commented user rockinglifeeachday.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWow, the official (US administrative) page mentions Malaysia,\u201d commented user Ocean king.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, several other users were also seen sharing their warm welcome to the US president in the comments.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMixed feelings on his visit. Nonetheless our religion teaches us to honour guests, welcome Mr President, nice to see your dance upon arrival,\u201d commented user Addeando.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWelcome to Malaysia from Malaysians, we do not agree with your views but we still respect you as guests for the Asean Summit. Free Palestine,\u201d commented user nucleusplatypus.\u00a0<\/p>\n
