Ku Li tells why Malay support will remain elusive for Anwar
The Umno veteran also admits that his party’s alliance with PH would sink the Malay party.
(MalaysiaNow) – Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah says Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim will continue to suffer a deficit in Malay support as the base for his Pakatan Harapan (PH) coalition is still the non-Malays.
“It (PH) is essentially Chinese, so how can the Malays rely on a leadership whose interests are not those of the Malays?” Razaleigh, better known as Ku Li, said in a recent interview with MalaysiaNow.
“Unless Anwar has a Malay base, the Malays will not support the PH that he leads.”
He also compared Anwar to previous prime ministers whom he said had enjoyed the support of the Malays.
“The people supported Tunku Abdul Rahman because his core was Malay,” Razaleigh said.
On Umno’s current alliance with PH, he said it was fraught with risks.
“If Umno wants to be with them (PH), there is only one way: sink. Does Umno want to sink?
