Dr M's trusted adviser says this includes the claim that the Finance Ministry is controlled by the Chinese.

Daim Zainuddin, among prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad's closest advisers, said today that far too many are falling for the racial and religious narratives spun by the opposition to destabilise the ruling government., Daim said while the Umno-led opposition’s ploy to fan racial sentiments is expected, he had hoped Malays would “think rationally” instead of falling for such narratives.

"Oh, the 'Finance Ministry is Chinese'. What Chinese? This is a Pakatan Harapan government. You have to think rationally. Daim, himself a former finance minister, was referring to last year's transfer of overof Tabung Haji's underperforming assets to a government-owned special purpose vehicle in a bid to rescue the ailing fund.

According to SCMP, this is among the ways Harapan's critics play up the image of DAP as a Chinese-dominated party, purportedly out to control the government and remove Malay special privileges. The Haparan government, according to Daim, is pleading with Malaysians to “think logically”.
