“My issue is with the intake for the matriculation programme, not withBersatu Pribumi. They are my comrades,” he clarified when contacted today.

That's the problem with an Cambridge (USA) education, wakakaka. Marzuki Yahya showed a glimpse of that when he has either the brazen temerity or the moronic idiocy to say Pribumi is far different from Umno and that it has never denied the rights of other races in its fight for the Malays on an issue where 90% of places for the matriculation program have been RESERVED for ONLY Malays with only a ONE-OFF 10% allocation for non-Malays.
... never denied the rights of other races ...? ... when you just sapu-ed 90% of places for your ethnic constituency, and with 10% for nons being only a One-Off?
We need to send him to Israel's best university, the Tel-Aviv University (ranked 201st by the 2019 Times Higher Education Ranking) to learn how the Israelis treat the Palestinians.
Perhaps by then he'll understand what Pribumi Party is doing in Malaysia is no difference to what Israelis are and have been doing to Palestinians in Israel.
Dr Ramasamy has been right that Mahathir's Pribumi Party is continuing the policies, mindset and ketuanan-ness of UMNO. Also, look at Perak and Johor - why should the MBs be only for members of chiko-Pribumi?
But alas, I bet Dr Rama has been "advised" to tone it down, even apologise if necessary, ampun TUAN ku.
After all, even Crown Prince Lim GE dares not buck the Pakatan cart in the matter of Tan Hong Pin being ousted from the Exco of the Johor State government.
The MCA-isation of DAP is almost completed. Congrats Maddy, you've done it again.
