Despite the recent trade ban the United States of America enforced on HUAWEI, Malaysians have not been shy in declaring their love for the Chinese smartphone manufacturer.

The Prime Minister of Malaysia, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, recently said that the country will continue using HUAWEI technology as much as possible during the '25th Conference: The Future of Asia' event in Japan.
