KOTA TINGGI: A Pejuang leader has sought to ward off any accusation that his party may be racist, saying it eschews Malay supremacist attitudes although it subscribes to Malay nationalism.
In an interview with FMT, Pejuang international affairs bureau chief Tariq Ismail Mustafa claimed Pejuang was more centrist than other Malay parties and said it hoped to win enough seats in the Johor elections to have a say in the formation of the state government.
“Yes, you can say we’re splitting Malay votes, but what Pejuang is trying to show is we are not taking sides,” he said.
