“My dear Tun M, the common enemy of Malays are Malay themselves; never the Chinese” - superadmin - 12-14-2024 TWICE former premier Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad had a tenure spanning 22 years (first stint) and 22 months (second stint). If the Malays are weak now, isn’t it because he failed to establish the groundwork and foundation for them? Why is he blaming the enemy of the Malays (even if he did not state so, history suggests he meant the Chinese)? Malays completely dominate all of the state’s important institutions, including the royals, police, armed forces, civil service and the Parliament. Since Merdeka, no non-Malay/non-Muslim Prime Minister (PM) or Deputy Prime Minister (DPM0 has been appointed. Since Merdeka, the Malays have held an absolute cabinet majority. So, if Malays are losing power, isn’t it because the Malays appointed to all these institutions did not perform their part in upholding ketuanan Melayu (Malay supremacy)? How can the Chinese who were never near power be a threat? In fact, MCA is now unable to win Chinese support because they were seen as the ‘running dog’ of UMNO and unable to promote Chinese interest during your BN/UMNO time. If the most important Chinese party, MCA is unable to promote Chinese interest, then what are you talking about? - More -
