“I need young people to understand this. Have the courage to say no to corruption and religious bigotry.”- Prime Minister Anwar IbrahimCOMMENT | Whenever Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim talks about young people, I recall the way he lectured that young girl on the bumiputera quota system in education.The key is when Anwar talked about “fairness” to this young girl, he implied that by virtue of her ethnicity and her question, she was victimising the Malay community.
Sasha Lyna Abdul Latif, the deputy chairperson of Bersatu’s legal and constitutional bureau, reportedly said, “He must apologise and make amends so that it is clear to all that every Malaysian child or student is important and every one of them must be cherished and treated with respect.”I remember when Anwar presided over the conversion of a Hindu youth. When the prime minister presided over the ceremony, he was in fact representing the religious reality that non-Muslims face in this country.
