The Penang lawmaker, who was criticised for equating Bersatu with Umno over the matriculation programme intake policy, said the Pakatan Harapan government need not “stick with old policies” left by the former Barisan Nasional government. “Let’s discuss this openly instead of attacking each other. I am not only calling on Bersatu but also PKR and DAP leaders to discuss this intelligently and look for a proper solution to this issue,” he said.
Khaliq had demanded that Ramasamy retract his statement while stressing that supporting the 90:10 ratio policy does not mean that Bersatu is similar to Umno.
