PAS top brass signs Dr M's 'Malay proclamation'

Cogito Ergo Sum: For six decades, policies ranging from economic and social empowerment to outright affirmative action have been planned, implemented, and failed to not just improve the Malays, but also Malaysia’s economic competitiveness in the region and Asia.

Everyone in the picture in the news article has been responsible for the colossal failure of domestic policies for the uplifting of the poor of which the majority are Malays. If Malays never controlled the economy and have lost political control, I wonder who has been running the government these last 60 years? The Jews? The commies?  

For the better part of 60 years, it has been former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad and his cronies. In reality, the Malay Proclamation is a direct admission of his and other Malay administrations’ failure in uplifting the plight of all Malaysians, especially the Malay plight. It is Mahathir’s biggest dilemma.

Lightontheway: They are using race and religion (in this case, using Malay Proclamation) as a disguise to hide their (this group of people) own shortcomings. Anyway, these people must be blind like a bat if they cannot see that the Malays are in charge of Malaysia.

The prime minister is a Malay. The deputy prime ministers are Malays. The majority of the ministers in charge of their ministries are Malays. Also, the deputy ministers to various departments are Malays.

Hence, this group of people are all up to good for nothing but to cause a shift and try to drive a wedge to break the Malays so that they can take advantage to cause ‘chaos’ to our current unity government. That's all, they are all for their own self-interests and to hide their shortcomings. 

Ocean MasterII: There is no truth at all in Mahathir and PAS' claim that Malays are facing an existential threat in Malaysia. It’s demeaning the non-Malays, and, by construct, humiliating the Malays and the great religion of Islam.

This is ugly racism in its purest form and the pinnacle of bigotry. I am sure readers, including most Malays, are aghast at such reckless flame-throwing by the politically bankrupt Mahathir who continues to pursue his racist philosophy rejected outright in his own backyard in Langkawi by voters.

I believe the law, if read for its intent and in letters, has space for Mahathir to be arrested under Security Offences (Special Measures) Act 2012 (Sosma).

GreyPigeon2115: If these racist Malay leaders can convince the Malay citizens of Malaysia that their Malay Proclamation is true, that Malays never controlled the economy and have lost political control, there is not much to say anymore.

What more do they want before all these Malay racists feel they have economic and political control? 

They are just pure self-serving, greedy, and power-crazy racists using the race card to support their selfish cause. This is beyond belief, their kind of racist and toxic leadership mindset poisons the diversity of Malaysian society.

YellowImpla3311: As a foreigner who has been in this wonderful country for more than 25 years, the current trend of these bigots is horrifying. If they were to get their way, the economy would collapse, and international investment would run a mile, sending the country into a backward spiral.

One can only pray that most people see common sense and in no circumstances will follow this way. If anything, what they are doing and proclaiming must be the most unIslamic way. Frightening is the word.
