PETALING JAYA: The driving of the Malay agenda should not be misconstrued as “racism” both by all parties, Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said today. Zahid told a congregation of the Peninsula Malay Students’ Union (GPMS) here that moreover such an objective is being carried out tactfully as to not neglect the needs of other races. Zahid also said the championing of the Malay agenda was done with due respect to other races and religions. Acknowledging the presence of a line-up of former GPMS presidents, Zahid then reminded the current generation to remember contributions and sacrifices of past generations. Zahid also hinted a reminder over the bitter anti-government tirade led by former prime minister-turned-opposition leader Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.
