“We have allowed our emotions to run wild and influence the way we see others,” Daim told a room full of academics during a talk at the “Naratif Malaysia: Melayu dalam Persoalan National” at Universiti Teknologi Malaysia in Skudai, Johor Baru yesterday. A recent change in the political landscape has seen rivals Umno and PAS form a fruitful alliance that saw Barisan Nasional win the Cameron Highlands and Semenyih by-elections back-to-back.
Many were also purportedly displeased with the number of non-Malay ministers in Cabinet, something Umno and PAS leaders have repeatedly brought up as a threat to Malays. “Why is there not the same anger when we are confronted with facts of corruption and kleptocracy of the highest order among our Malay leaders?” Daim asked.
