Dr M’s reading of Malays ‘obsolete’, says Anwar


KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 24 — Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s understanding of the Malay community is obsolete and irrelevant, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said today, dismissing the former prime minister’s suggestion that the country’s majority race would lose dominance under a Pakatan Rakyat (PR) government.
“On the contrary, I believe the vast majority of the Malays will benefit more (under PR),” he told The Malaysian Insider when approached in Parliament today.
Dr Mahathir told Umno’s Utusan Malaysia in an interview published yesterday that the Malays were “ungrateful” and “lacking intelligence”, warning that the greed of a few power hungry Malays in the opposition would see the country’s largest ethnic group lose its political power.
“I think he represents the old, obsolete thinking of the Malay dilemma,” Anwar(picture) said in laughing off Dr Mahathir’s remarks. “It may be deemed as relevant at one particular time but today, we consider it obsolete.”
The former Umno deputy president accused Dr Mahathir, his greatest arch-nemesis at one time, of being dishonest in his views, saying the latter true reason for wanting to unite the Malays under Barisan Nasional (BN) was to protect the business interests of his family members.
“But let me remind Dr Mahathir that when we speak of the Malays, we must speak of the millions of those who will be affected.
“He (Dr Mahathir) is only determined to protect his family business — Mokhzani’s billion ringgit contract, Mirzan’s billion ringgit business,” Anwar said, rekindling the bitter rivalry between himself and his former superior in the government.
MORE TO COME
