COMMENT | Malay unity: Fact or fantasy?

COMMENT | For months, 'they' acted like hyenas cautiously circling one another for the kill, fangs bared and saliva dripping from their mouths. This was not a National Geographic clip of hyenas attacking their prey. This was a shameful display of 'Malay unity', with politicians from Bersatu, Umno-Baru and PAS vying to be top-dog.

For decades, Malays have been brainwashed into believing that only Umno-Baru, PAS and a mutation of Umno-Baru could ensure Malay unity and defend Islam.

In the end, the bitter feuds were just about who can drive the gravy train and control the government purse strings. There is no Malay unity.

Propped-up by non-Malay political frogs, the majority Malay PN administration is only a show of avarice, for material wealth and power. Ordinary Malays do not benefit, whilst non-Malays stand to lose more of their rights.
