Dr Michael Jeyakumar says Malaysians should break out from the mould of thinking only about their own race.
He said Umno has stepped up its propaganda that PH is dominated by the DAP while PH’s misstep in cutting financial aid to the poor does not help. The former Sungai Siput MP said the division could be seen in the Cameron Highlands and Semenyih by-elections where most of the votes went to Umno-PAS. “The Malays are feeling threatened. Doing away with quotas in education and the implementation of a system based exclusively on merit is seen as being against the interests of the Malay community,” said Jeyakumar.
