4. SOUNDBITE (English) Mahathir Mohamad, Malaysian Prime Minister:
"If we designate the Straits of Malacca as an international route, then the international community must assume responsibility for keeping the seas clear and unpolluted. But so far, the responsibility falls on the littoral states. They are the ones to suffer pollution and they have to maintain a sizeable force to clean up the sea and their shores. It does not seem fair that the poor littoral states should be burdened with this responsibility."

6. SOUNDBITE (English) Mahathir Mohamad, Malaysian Prime Minister:
"With all the sensors that are available cannot we build safer fast trains to cope with the increased needs of trade today? Trains can shorten the passage between East and West, bringing them closer together. They are faster than ships. We have the technology and the money to bring about these improvements. As the sea routes and land routes improve, trade and travel will grow and with this the wealth of the world will increase for the betterment of everyone."

STORYLINE:
Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad says he is fully in support of China's Belt and Road initiative, after his government recently decided to resume a China-backed rail link project.
Addressing the second Belt and Road Forum in Beijing on Friday, Mahathir sought to erase doubts about Malaysia's desire to take part in the massive infrastructure juggernaut.
He devoted much of his address to the need to confront environmental and law enforcement challenges created by global trade, particularly the burden on countries near the ocean.
Malaysia's government recently said it will resurrect a multibillion-dollar property and transportation project in Kuala Lumpur involving a Chinese state company.
They called it a contribution to China's Belt and Road infrastructure initiative.
It came a week after Malaysia resumed a China-backed rail link project after the Chinese contractor agreed to cut the construction cost by one third to 44 billion ringgit (10.6 billion US dollars).
Mahathir said both projects will boost ties with China and add economic value.
