LETTER | They pose as sheep while they hunt the Malay vote like a wolf.
| I am a Chinese Malaysian, and I am worried. It seems each new political manoeuvre, alliance, and decision is more geared towards winning over the Malay majority than the one before. I’m afraid that all the leading political parties have donned a pair of blinkers, with only winning the majority vote in their line of vision.
But here is what worries me - although Umno vice-president Mohammed Khaled Nordin has claimed that, “Umno and PAS have always believed that any cooperation between the two parties must take into account the diversity of this country”, it does not take a genius to see beyond the empty rhetoric.
First, Mahathir walked back on his pledge to ratify the UN treaty against racial discrimination. Then, he called for a Malay super-party, encouraging Malay members of other coalitions to join his Bersatu. And currently, we have him refusing to extradite the troublesome Islamic preacher Zakir Naik, a favourite among the Malay population.
