Mentality of Malays has not changed

Just days after former premier Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad made sensitive remarks over 9/11 attacks, once again he made headlines on his statement saying that mentality of the Malays in the country remains the same over the years.

Quoted from Malaysian Mirror, Mahathir said, “If they want to be rich, they will find the easiest way. If they can sell the country, they will, if they cannot, they will sell sand.”

He was merely responding to a question during an event at National Library yesterday when asked on his opinions if Malays in the country has changed. Mahathir pointed out that Malays should state and insist on their stand to remain strong as the backbone for the country.

He made sensitive remarks by saying that most Malays know nothing about the country’s history and therefore, doubt those who called themselves as Malaysian without knowledge of the country.

With more non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in the country debating about Malay issues, these organizations are rising fast as it is meant to protect the people in the country noting that UMNO failed to do so.

How can the mentality of the malays be changed if the government keeps on encouraging them to be "inert", according them special status, special privileges and all what nots! How do you expect them to grow up when they are being spoon fed for the last fifty odd years. They can hardly stand up today!
