KUALA LUMPUR – Muda president Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman today slammed Bersatu Youth chief Wan Ahmad Fayhsal Wan AHmad Kamal for equating the Malays to a tribal society in need of a protector, saying it is an outdated view no longer relevant to today’s politics.
Syed Saddiq said the “protector” approach is a common tactic among the country’s older politicians to pitch for support from the majority of Bumiputeras – the “sons of the soil” who account for over 60% of Malaysia’s 32 million population.
“They know that instilling fear, anxiety, and insecurity among the Malays will split the votes and support of Malaysians for parties that carry the voices of all Malaysians, like Muda,” he said in a Facebook post.
“The question is: all this while, were the Malays protected by these outdated parties?”
