‘Malay supremacy’ still relevant to help Malays, says Umno veep


KUALA LUMPUR, July 20 — The concept of “Ketuanan Melayu” (Malay supremacy) is still relevant today if its focus remains on helping the Malays improve their standard of living, Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said today.
The Umno vice-president however denied that the terminology propagates the concept of “master and slave” in society, as claimed by leaders in the federal opposition.
Zahid (picture) cited a definition by former Prime Minister Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi as an example, saying that “Malay supremacy is not about the Malays being in a position to dominate, rule over and force their power upon others.”
“Malay supremacy meant that the Malays, as the indigenous people in Malaysia, needed to strengthen themselves to ensure they were successful and developed.
“If they are not successful and developed, then they are not ‘tuan’ (masters), therefore they will be coolies,” he said, quoting from Abdullah.
