PETALING JAYA: Muda president Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman has slammed former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad for claiming that promoting a multi-ethnic country goes against the constitution.
Syed Saddiq, who was youth and sports minister during Mahathir’s second tenure as prime minister, told his former boss to focus on uniting Malaysians instead of dividing them.
“We should not be looking back on past historical differences. Instead, we should be looking forward to what unites us as one people in one country.
“Because we believe that an attack on the non-Malays and non-Bumiputeras is equivalent to an attack against all Malaysians,” he said at a press conference.
Syed Saddiq added that the lives and future of all Malaysians were intertwined with one another.
