Yes shockingly people are more concerned about what's going on in the place they live in than another country on the other side of the world. How many people who work at Twitter could even name the former PM of Malaysia that you mention?

It's not shocking at all, my only point is that twitter has a very specific political bent and their actions obviously reflect this. Why is this controversial at all?

Because if those actions are justified, what's the problem?
It becomes a problem if you do not apply the letter of the law universally.
If you turn a blind eye to the behaviour of someone you agree with, even if they're doing something that is against the rules (or the spirit of the rules) but you come down hard on someone else for actions that are the same (or lesser); then it's a problem for me.
