As a Malay, I am concerned about the position of the Malays, not that they should be dominating but they should have a strong presence in running the country.
, Own words
My view is that this Government should move forward, but in order to move forward, there is a need for very serious thinking by the leadership on the situation in the country.
, Own words
I have to speak out because I am very much a part of the party hierarchy. And I have received tremendous response from the grassroots who feel that I am saying something right.
