PETALING JAYA: An Umno Youth leader has urged former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad to stop inciting the Malay community with “outdated” and “divisive” narratives on disparities between the different races.
Wan Agyl Wan Hassan, the Umno Youth permanent chairman, said as the country’s only two-time prime minister, Mahathir cannot be oblivious to the fact that disparities exist even within both communities.
“You can’t paint a picture as if all Chinese are rich and all Malays are poor. Everyone knows this is not true.
“Yes, there are many poor Malays (and) they form the bulk of the B40, but we also have many wealthy Malays, from entrepreneurs to corporate giants.
