Shortly after that Malaysia accused Pakistan of being involved in "a sinister pattern of collusion with China and Indonesia against Malaysia". Speaking after a cabinet meeting, the Malaysian Prime Minister Tunku Abdul Rahman said: "I knew this was coming for a long time, and in particular because of the peculiar behaviour of Mr. Bhutto. Mr. Bhutto had given a poor excuse for breaking with Malaysia and what surprises me is that they had not broken off ties with the Republic of India, with whom they are at war".[3] After 11 months break, the relations was resumed with the help of Iran.[4] When the relations have been normal, Pakistan became a supporter of the Federation of Malaysia which they refused to accept the non-inclusion of Brunei and the leaving of Singapore from the Malaysian Federation, Pakistan only established relations with those countries when Malaysia had done so.
