“I strongly disagree with racial profiling. If you look at my policy history, even during my tenure with the Malaysian Islamic Youth Movement , I opposed the New Economic Policy, especially its focus on racial profiling,” he said in a press conference today. He said the RM130 million allocation was only part of the assistance for the Indian community which also covered several initiatives under the National Entrepreneurial Group Economic Fund and Amanah Ikhtiar Malaysia .
Anwar also voiced his disappointment over attempts to stoke racial sentiments by claiming that Malays were under threat under the MADANI Government’s leadership, or that the Indian community was being neglected.
