Kuala Lumpur: Malaysia may retaliate against an EU plan to curb palm oil use by purchasing new fighter jets from China instead of European arms companies, its leader said Sunday.

The Southeast Asian country is the world´s second largest palm oil producer after neighbouring Indonesia, and recently threatened to challenge the bloc´s plan to phase out its use in biofuels at the World Trade Organization.

Both Malaysia and Indonesia have been at loggerheads with EU lawmakers over the crop´s cultivation, which has caused rampant deforestation and destruction of wildlife.

In his strongest statement yet on the proposed curbs, Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad said his country could look elsewhere to upgrade its ageing air force fleet of Russian Mig-29 fighters -- in effect abandoning plans to purchase France´s Rafale jet or the Eurofighter Typhoon.

"If they keep on taking action against us, we will think of buying airplanes from China or any other country," he was quoted as saying by the official Bernama news agency.

But the premier said he was not "declaring war" on the EU as his country needed goods from the bloc, many members of which are among Malaysia´s top trading partners.

Mahathir´s remarks come ahead of a five-day international defence exhibition starting Monday on the resort island of Langkawi, where representatives of global weapons manufacturers have gathered.

Any EU palm oil curbs could seriously hurt farmers who represent an important voter base in both Malaysia and Indonesia.

Both countries are struggling to spur demand in palm oil, which is used in everything from soap to chocolate.

French lawmakers recently voted to remove palm oil from the country´s biofuel scheme starting from next year.

Malaysia has threatened the European Union to avenge its "discriminatory stance" on Malaysian palm oil by looking for trading partners outside the old continent, especially the acquisition of Chinese fighter jets instead of Europe.

Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad said during an event held at a palm oil plant on the island of Khare on Sunday that his country could take action in this direction if the European Union continued its campaign to "give a negative image of palm oil," stressing that the campaign carries And Malaysia suffered significant losses.

"We can respond if the Europeans do not want to buy the palm oil we produce, in which case we will not need to buy their products either," he said.

"If we need fighter planes we will look into Chinese ones and we will by them. I do not think China's technologies are backward, and perhaps better than the West," he said, referring to Chinese fighter jets of which he recently saw acrobatics during a military parade in Pakistan.

I am so glad to see this Muslim hero is enjoying his visit in Pakistan. Our hospitality is without measure and PM Mahathir is the next Muslim leader (after Erdogan and MBS) who has been stricken by the Pakistani bug.

JF17 deal seems all but confirmed now.

That is the picture of a man who is enjoying his visit very much.
