00:00
During my time, people were free to make complaints to the government.
00:09
If there is something wrong, like you site a temple where a mosque is,
00:16
then they complain to the government and we settle it internally.
00:21
We don't have to go and fight each other, go to the public and do all kinds of funny things.
00:27
Former Prime Minister Dr. Mahathir Mohamad says during his tenure as Prime Minister,
00:32
all public grievances were addressed quietly through government channels
00:36
without escalating into open confrontations or unrest.
00:40
His comments follow a controversy in March over the relocation of the 130-year-old
00:45
Dewi Sipater Kaliman Temple in Kuala Lumpur,
00:48
which was situated on land sold to textile retailer Jackal Trading Sundiam Berhad in 2012.
00:54
The company's plan to build the Madani Mosque on the site drew strong opposition,
00:58
leading Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim to clarify that the government was not involved in the mosque's construction.
01:04
But nowadays, you cannot. You cannot even complain.
01:08
Whatever the government does, you have to support.
01:12
And if the government doesn't take any action, you are left stranded. You can't do anything.
01:20
There is a lot of frustration now. In fact, racism now is much more than during my time.
01:30
Mahathir cited Indonesia, the Philippines, and Thailand as countries that do not experience similar racial tensions,
01:37
attributing this to the presence of a unifying national language and the absence of race-based political parties.
01:44
But in Malaysia, we have parties that are based on race.
01:49
And if you base parties on race, and you promote your race, your culture, your language and all that,
01:57
then we are divided by race.
01:59
Racism is because these people, especially the politicians, make use of race in order to gain support for themselves.
02:09
However, he said Malay parties should not be considered race-based as they are rooted in nationality.
02:15
This country was founded by the Malays. It's recognized as Tanah Melayu.
02:20
If you become a Malay by adopting Malay language, Malay culture, we accept them.
02:28
They can join UMNO. They can join any Malay party because it is not based entirely on race. It's based on nation.
02:38
Nationality. This nation is a Malay nation.
02:43

But you must have done a 24-hour stream.
