I am Malay first! I am a Malay first, I want to say that. But being Malay does not mean you are not a Malaysian. .... How can I say I am Malaysian first and not Malay second? All the Malays will shun me you're not proper!

We are race-based but we are not racist.

We are not perfect, but we are doing the best we can to pull through this crisis together, as one nation. God willing, we will come out stronger when this crisis ends and the dust settles.

As a Malay, I am concerned about the position of the Malays, not that they should be dominating but they should have a strong presence in running the country.

I have to speak out because I am very much a part of the party hierarchy. And I have received tremendous response from the grassroots who feel that I am saying something right.

My view is that this Government should move forward, but in order to move forward, there is a need for very serious thinking by the leadership on the situation in the country.
