The minister says the Malays should unite to ensure that they would not lose their power to govern the country.
BANTING:
The Malays need to be grateful for the progress brought by the
government and leaders of yesteryears, and stay united to maintain the
political power, said Information, Communications and Culture Minister
Rais Yatim.
He said for instance, the people benefited from good infrastructure
in Selangor which was built over the years by the Barisan Nasional (BN)
government.
“This is the essence of BN struggle, we are not going to take them
back… but remember our efforts as there were not the opposition’s fruit
of labour,” he said at the 1Malaysia Community hari raya open house in
Kampung Medan, Teluk Panglima Garang here last night.
Rais said although the Malays had progressed, they must not be
arrogant and forget the struggle of their forefathers, their origin and
their direction.
“Why can’t we relate about the good deeds done by our forefathers.
Let us remind ourselves that each country was built slowly, one step at a
time as the people struggled for a cause,” he said.
Rais said the Malays should unite to ensure that they would not lose their power to govern the country.
“But, if we are not aware of this, the power will slip from our
hands. And we need the power to translate it into a big dream,” he said,
adding that the Malays must stay united to be strong.
He said although the country’s administration was helmed by the
Malays, the government championed all races, including non-Malays.
