KUALA LUMPUR (FN), Dec. 18 – Malaysian Foreign Minister Mohamad Hasan announced the decision to appoint former Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen as personal adviser to Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim on ASEAN, according to South China Morning Post.

On Monday, Anwar made the surprise announcement that the Thai billionaire had accepted his invitation to advise him when Malaysia takes over as chairman of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations in January.

Referring to the appointments of Thaksin and Hun Sen as “informal”, Mohamad said the former leaders would be Anwar’s advisers and were not taking up any formal role under ASEAN.
