Muhyiddin calls for calm

By Adib Zalkapli

PUTRAJAYA, Aug 4 — Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin today urged all Malaysians not to raise sensitive issues or to incite racial hatred.

He was responding to a question about an article published in today’s Utusan Malaysia, calling the Malays cowards for not reacting appropriately to the demands made by the non-Malays.

“It is the media’s right to do so, maybe because other parties have started challenging Malay supremacy, Malay rights, Malay rulers, and things that have already been enshrined in the Constitution, definitely the various statements made by those parties cannot be forgotten, and they are more dangerous, the media only responded to the situation,” Muhyiddin told reporters insisting that he was not specifically commenting on the article.

“Most importantly, all parties must stop making challenges. I am not commenting directly, I am only giving my advice and view to hold on to this principle,” he added.

Muhyiddin said that the government will not side with any party on the issue.

“If somebody started to issue a challenge, maybe because other parties have raised matters that should not be raised, but we should not jeopardise the future of our country,” he added.

Utusan Malaysia today published a commentary written by journalist Noor Azam accusing DAP of exploiting Malay leaders in Pakatan Rakyat (PR) to achieve its own agenda.

The article also claimed that the Malays would lose their power if PR wins the next general election.

The writer added that the Malays have lost their political power in PR-controlled states of Penang, Selangor and Perak.
