Enough of pessimists like Ramasamy who run down Dr M

From Rafique Rashid Ali

Every month or so, almost like clockwork, P Ramasamy the Penang deputy chief minister, will continue his attack against Dr Mahathir Mohamad. It is an obsession which he can’t seem to overcome.

In his latest piece “Non-Malays don’t trust Mahathir” (FMT March 27), Ramasamy not only targets the former prime minister but has also trained his guns on the Mahathir-led Pejuang. In essence he is stating that Pejuang is a “mosquito party” that “is fading into oblivion”.

Ramasamy and many of his ilk will pick on Mahathir’s narrative that the Malays have been fair to the non-Malays in the past, and concessions were granted to the Chinese by the Malays post-Merdeka which the Chinese could not get from the former colonial British masters.
