And so the Malaysian government is angry :-)
From the Washington Post:
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia — Malaysian authorities have summoned the German ambassador to explain why his country provided funds for a project linked to a Kuala Lumpur-based human rights group.
Malaysian Foreign Minister Anifah Aman says the funding could be “seen as interference in the domestic affairs of a sovereign state” because the Malaysian government considers rights group Suaram to be politically biased.
Suaram often criticizes government policies on issues such as detention without trial.
A German Embassy official said the ambassador was meeting with Malaysian foreign ministry representatives Friday.
The official said German authorities approved a “small amount” of money two years ago to support a workshop on migration that involved participants including Suaram.
He spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to make public statements.
The Malaysian government considers anything that doesn't brown-nose up to them as being politically biased.
