‘You won’t lose Malayness by treating others well, Zahid tells youth,’ goes the breaking news headline in Malaysiakini today — see below.
Is the Umno president implying that Malay youths have not been treating the non Malays-non Muslims well before this?
As a parallel to Zahid’s comment last night about an individual not losing his Malayness, Kit Siang also once said that learning Jawi did not make him lose his Chineseness either.
So Zahid is now saying: “Our sense of Malayness and our faith will never fade if we treat other races and religions well” (quoted by national news agency Bernama). He was speaking at a function for young people in Banting, Selangor.
Does Zahid’s reminder to Malay youths – to treat the other races and religions well – mean that previously, these Malays have not treated the Nons well and thus need to be reminded?
