Mahathir: 1) Race race race, 2) Race politics is bad

First:

Former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad has lamented that Umno – the party he led for two decades – has failed to defend the Malays in the face of attacks from the minority Chinese.
“What is happening now is that Malays are forming NGOs because of Chinese attacks against the Malays, and Umno seems unable to defend them,” said Mahathir in a posting on his Cetdet blog.
The former Umno strongman has lambasted “Chinese extremists” for their unreasonable demands.

“We hear a lot about demands by Chinese extremists questioning the provision of Malay special rights in the constitution, demanding an end to the NEP, reduction of quotas for Malay students. They even say the Malays are also ‘kaum pendatang’ or immigrants.

BUT:

“Playing race politics in Malaysia is dangerous.”

Haha. Only TDM can contradict himself so brilliantly.
