Ex-convict and now opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim now says that basically everybody in Malaysia in marginalized. However, what baffles me is that how can Anwar come up with this kind of conclusion? Malaysia has 14 Billionaires [Read Here] . In addition, the number of Malaysians who are millionaires have increased tremendously. In 2011, Malaysia had 39,000 millionaires [Here] and i am sure now the numbers would have doubled up. President Obama said that Malaysia must give equal opportunity to the minorities, how could this be when 9 out of 10 richest Malaysians are the ethnic minorities? That doesn't sound right. Does it?
Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim today agreed with President Barack Obama’s assessment on marginalised minorities, but added that even rural and poor Bumiputera are marginalised in Malaysia.
“I don’t think anyone can deny the fact that there are concerns by ethnic minorities in this country,” Anwar said in a press conference.
“I would add the marginalisation of Bumiputera poor, rather than just ethnic Indians and Chinese and religious minorities. Marginalisation of the poor includes, rural Malays, Dayak and Kadazan.”
The Permatang Pauh MP said the fact still stands, even if Home Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi denied it, claiming the marginalisation was just a perception.
MORE TO COME
