Dr Ms reading of Malays obsolete, says Anwar

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 24 Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamads understanding of the Malay community is obsolete and irrelevant, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said today, dismissing the former prime ministers suggestion that the countrys majority race would lose dominance under a Pakatan Rakyat (PR) government.

On the contrary, I believe the vast majority of the Malays will benefit more (under PR), he toldThe Malaysian Insiderwhen approached in Parliament today.

Dr Mahathir told UmnosUtusan Malaysiain an interview published yesterday that the Malays were ungrateful and lacking intelligence, warning that the greed of a few power hungry Malays in the opposition would see the countrys largest ethnic group lose its political power.

I think he represents the old, obsolete thinking of the Malay dilemma, Anwarsaid in laughing off Dr Mahathirs remarks. It may be deemed as relevant at one particular time but today, we consider it obsolete.

The former Umno deputy president accused Dr Mahathir, his greatest arch-nemesis at one time, of being dishonest in his views, saying the latter true reason for wanting to unite the Malays under Barisan Nasional (BN) was to protect the business interests of his family members.

But let me remind Dr Mahathir that when we speak of the Malay! s, we mu st speak of the millions of those who will be affected.

He (Dr Mahathir) is only determined to protect his family business Mokhzanis billion ringgit contract, Mirzans billion ringgit business, Anwar said, rekindling the bitter rivalry between himself and his former superior in the government. - Themalaysiainsideanuvajiass
