Malays now 'don't harp on rights'


KUALA LUMPUR: The "new young Malays" are not concerned about Malay rights, but are more focused on competing to achieve, Wanita Umno chief Datuk Seri Rafidah Aziz said.

Speaking at Gerakan's "White Coffee Talk" last night, she said those who were good usually performed on their own merit and were not bothered about Malay rights.

She used her children as an example of "new Malays".

"My children are doing well today because they worked hard for it. I tell them if you perform, you will do well."

Rafidah said in fact, her children were reluctant to reveal their identity as they would receive comments like "Oh, your mother's a minister, it must be easy for you."

Rafidah said it was unfortunate that these "new Malays" shied away from politics because they considered it a "dirty" game.

The talk, entitled "Race, Religion and Gender in Malaysian Politics: the way forward", touched on issues like the quality of civil service, race-based politics, family values and the need to change mindsets towards a more progressive and united country.

DESI: Someone forgot to add, just paraphrasing what could have issued from the ex-Minister's mouth, if she wasn't so coy:

"By the way, my son-in-law got some shares under the special Bumiputera issues when I wan the MITI head;

"By the way, another relative received some Approved Permits when I was heading MTI.

"Just in case you morons complained that such privileges came under special 'Malay rights', remember then Prime Minister my dear Mentor Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad also got what!"
