What kind of unity is Malaysia striving for?
Racial Unity?
What is all that talk about Malays losing political power?
What is Malay unity?
To answer these, we must take a look back at an article written by RPK.
I found these parts rather interesting :
So what’s all this ‘the Malays are now not united and we need to find ways to reunite the Malays’ talk? It is utter bullshit, a campaign of misinformation to frighten the Malays into thinking that in the past they were never as split as they are now and, therefore, they need to come back to Umno and reunite under Umno or else the future of the Malays would be bleak. Actually this is not true one bit.
What happened in the 8 March 2008 general election is this. The Malays have ALWAYS been ‘split’ or ‘disunited’, to echo Umno’s choice of words. Half the Malays normally vote for Umno and the other half for the opposition. This has more or less always been so and was also so in the recent general election.
No, the Malays are not NOW spilt (they always were split 50:50 from before). No, the Malays have NOT lost political power (there are 122 Malay Members of Parliament now, higher than before).
122 MPs out of the 222 Member of Parliaments. They still hold the majority of seats. Why fear that their representation will be eroded?
This, on the other hand, is not representation.
