According to the StraitsTimes (http://www.straitstimes.com/), Malaysian foreign minister Anifah Aman plans to offer to help the US deal the pirate problem off the coast of Somalia. The Straits of Malacca just a couple of years ago was the center of pirate activity. Malaysia, through an inteligence sharing partnership and joint patrols with Indonesia, Singapore and Thailand, virtually ended piracy in the region. Only two incedents of piracy were reported in the Straits of Malacca in 2008, compared to seven in 2007. The scope of the pirate problem off the Horn of Africa however, seems to be a much bigger problem than what was occuring in Straits of Malacca.  Malaysia offers US piracy help  PUTRAJAYA (Malaysia) - MALAYSIA, which joined neighboring countries to successfully control piracy in the Straits of Malacca, hopes to contribute to US efforts in fighting pirates off Somalia, the foreign minister said on Monday.  Anifah Aman said he will make the offer when he meets with US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Thursday during a one-week visit to Washington. Mr Anifah leaves later on Monday for what will be his first official visit to the US since he was appointed foreign minister in new Prime Minister Najib Razak's administration.  'The situation in the Gulf of Aden affects the global economy somewhat. There is no denial on that,' he told reporters.  'We have our own experiences, how we solved it in the Strait of Malacca with our own expertise. We feel we have some valuable experience that we can contribute,' he said. You can read the full story HERE.
