Not racist to have Malay-Muslim dominated government: PAS

KUALA LUMPUR – A government dominated by a single majority race cannot be regarded as racist, PAS said today amid its continued push for a Malay-Muslim federal administration.

In a statement, party secretary-general Datuk Seri Takiyuddin Hassan claimed that such a make-up of a government is common and generally accepted anywhere in the world.

“In this regard, PAS is of the view that the concept of political domination by a majority group in a country is not racist and unjust,” he said.

Takiyuddin said PAS is also confident that the party’s push for ummah unity can be easier achieved if all Malay-Muslim political outfits in the country adopt a more open-hearted approach in facing the coming general election.

In an apparent message to Umno, the PAS lawmaker said these parties should place greater importance on the stability of the country and the happiness of the general public ahead of the polls.
