“We supported this policy as we believe that Malays still need government assistance in terms of educational provisions,” he said in a statement issued today. Khaliq said Ramasamy must be more sensitive and careful with his statement as he had “hurt the feelings” of Bersatu leaders by equating the party’s struggles with that of its political foe, Umno.Yesterday, Ramasamy, in his Facebook posting, said “Bersatu despite being an ethnic Bumiputera party seems to be entrapped in the mindset of Umno, an extreme racist party.”“It does not do good for the party to hold to decisions made by Umno when the latter was in power,” he said.
