Deputy Prime Minister and Umno No. 2 Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yasin, in a ceramah held here last night, blasted Pakatan Rakyat (PR) leaders as arrogant, claiming that some have dared to question the rights of the Malays and Islam.
"They have questioned the social contract, the status of Islam and the Malays in this country which are enshrined in the Federal Constitution," he said before some 500 party supporters.
"Don't get me wrong, I am a deputy prime minister for all Malaysians. The rights of the non-Malays should be upheld but do not question the rights of the Malays," he added.

Muhyiddin, Umno's most senior leader, claimed that throughout his career, he has never witnessed what he claimed as opposition disrespect towards Malay rights and believes that the March 8 victories have made them "bolder and more arrogant."
Just as in the past, Muhyiddin also chided PAS for defending DAP which has been painted as anti-Islam by Umno leaders.
Earlier, Umno and Barisan Nasional information chief Ahmad Mazlan made subtle hints that PAS was DAP's stooge, citing the beer sale issue in Selangor as an example.
"PAS say takbir, DAP say take beer," Ahmad said, drawing laughter from party supporters.
Despite being heavily criticised for its racial attacks, and even risking compromising Prime Minister and Umno-BN president Datuk Seri Najib Razak's all-encompassing 1 Malaysia concept, last night's ceramah indicated clearly that Umno will continue to use race and religion as fodder against its rivals.
Pakatan leaders, on the other hand, fully anticipating Umno's unrelenting racial offensive, have gone all out to deflect their attacks, blasting Umno as racists and said it was already expected that the ruling party would use the race card against them.
PKR leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, speaking at a Pakatan ceramah, said Malaysians will no longer be fooled by the race tactics played by Umno and that governance in PR-run states acts as proof to his claims.
He added that the differences among the component parties in the opposition pact have been maliciously highlighted by government-linked media.

Umno has clearly given up hope on MCA/Gerakan/MIC for non-Malay support. Umno racial and religion campaign lie in getting as much Malay support away from PAS/PKR. Umno only hope on winning Malay majority seats and getting the rest of the numbers from Sabah and Sarawak.
Wow looks like Najib has no controle over Myuiddin mouth at this stage, i just cant see how MCA and MIC are taking this onslot of a so called DPM
It really doesnt look good for this country , really if we have any more of this its may just be a matter of time that we lose all that we Malaysians have woked so long.
Najib Wake up!!!!!!! -- i still see some light in you -- yuor DPM is killing this country
Surely UMNO will lost forever the support of non malay if they continue this tactic. If someone from chinese or indian still support UMNO, I will like to know they reason. Maybe MalaysianInsider can make a poll about this matter.
You have just giving up your 26%+1% total 27% of the voter's votes to PR, and they will very appreciate for what you have done, it is a wake up call to the local Chinese and Indian voters, the racist is coming to town. Unless Muhyidin wants to show his musang's tail in P. Pasir town.
Using military helicopter for personal and party usage and asking the rakyat to pay from their sweat money, is that the Malay right and righteous according to Islam? He is a Malay and he abuses the rakyat's money, is this the Malay right? Come on Muyiddin, good Malay don't do such thing. Don't fool the rakyat with such poor claims.
Muhiyddin has no better topic or issues to raise. Looks like UMNO is pushed to the corner already. Purports to defend Islam when Islam does not need defending. Islam can stand proud on its own and it have through the test of time. The rakyat knows you are defending your 'bottom-line', your cronies (Cina and Indian included), your UMNO putera's and above all else your own skin. We are so sick of UMNO playing the racial and religion card.
