With due respect, the current statement by former premier Dr Mahathir Mohamad is groundless in labelling, "Malays are lazy" and "Malays think nothing of taking money that is not theirs".
It is extremely wrong to make such generalisation or accusation on all Malays just because of the few involved.
I personally know many Malay acquaintances and friends who are honest and have high regards to ethical practices. I take exception over Dr Mahathir’s over-generalised, degrading and reckless statement on my Malay brothers and sisters.
Even, if there are some of these said breeds, then it is definitely again falls back to the government-implemented policies of yours, during the 22 years of tenure as the prime minister of Malaysia and as you have obviously admitted it was your very own failure, thus please stop making any unruly remarks on the overall Malays.
Do not make outrageous generalisation that all Malays are lazy and dishonest.
It is groundless to make such branding of the whole community when in every other community you are bound to have this breed of people, lazy and dishonest.
Thus, I strongly urge you to retract your statement which I deem unfair and unjustifiably hurled at the Malay community as a whole.
It is an inevitable truth that during his tenure as the PM, the country has reaped the utmost prosperity and has gained its prestigious rapid growth with global recognition.
Unfortunately, the statement made by the former premier is indeed very undermining.
