00:00A security expert said it is unwise to rename parts of the South China Sea that fall within

00:07Malaysia's maritime borders.

00:10Mizan Aslam of the National Defence University of Malaysia said coming up with an alternative

00:15name was not a priority when dealing with security threats.

00:20He said it would be better for the government to focus on displaying more dominance when

00:24claiming a territory, citing the dispute between Malaysia and Singapore over Batu Putih.

00:30On Tuesday, Tumpat MP Moong Taznawi mooted the name change in view of the ongoing disputes

00:36with Beijing over the South China Sea.

00:39She suggested that Malaysia rename the sea Laut Asia Tenggara or Laut Melayu.

00:45Geostrategist Azmi Hassan said the government should not entertain such suggestions as he

00:50believed Putrajaya had its own strategy to deal with the dispute.

00:54Beijing has drawn the nine-dash line to assert its claim over 90 per cent of the South China

00:59Sea, overlapping with the maritime borders of several other countries, including Malaysia

01:05and the Philippines.
