When Muhyddin said that he is Malay first and Malaysian second, he probably has forgotten the declaration spelt out in the 1Malaysia Government Transformation Programme Roadmap lauched by the Prime Minister at the end of January. The declaration clearly stipulates that the goal of 1 Malaysia is “to make Malaysia … a greater nation: a nation where, it is hoped, every Malaysian perceives himself or herself as Malaysian first, and by race, religion, geographical region or socio-economic background second and where the principles of 1Malaysia are woven into the economic, political and social fabric of society”.
He is either blatantly ignoring this declaration or as Mahathir said "Melayu senang lupa".
But the saddest part is that the PM, in supporting this view said that "Being a Malay doesn't mean that you are against 1Malaysia or you don't think like a Malaysian".I doubt he knows what he is talking about, because he is supporting someone who contradicts his declaration, "as Malaysian first." Maybe he should also explain this to Ibrahim Ali and his Perkasa.
So given a choice, Muhyddin would fight for the Malay rights first (like Perkasa) and uphold the Malaysian constitution second. And we are going to have such a person who aspires to be the next PM of Malaysia. Wake up all Malaysians.
