Okay, it is tired to say again the DPM words and is carried in the foreign press. But what one wonders Malaysia has problems only with the 3 races only, so the orang asli and those in the east Malaysia would have problems, the Iban, Kadazan etc.
What kind of country leader he is Najib.
For those who voted him must be regretted like hell. His country of how many races, he did not know and keep singing the old tune.
Malu, betul malu.
Malaysia economy will suffer if racial unity collapses: Najib
AFP - Sunday, January 11
KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 11, 2009 (AFP) - Malaysia's economy will suffer and the country will break-up if racial unity collapses, Deputy Prime Minister Najib Razak warned ahead of a key by-election.
"No unity means no political stability. No political stability means we are all in trouble," he was quoted as saying by Bernama news agency late Saturday.
"The Malays (will be) in trouble, the Chinese (will be) in trouble, the Indians (will) also be in trouble," he told a rally.
Najib said foreign investors would pull out their funds if there was political instability.
"Capital can shift in a blink of an eye. Capital knows no loyalty. If our economy is under pressure, funds will flow (out). That is how sensitive capital movement is in the context of a modern global economy," he said.
The ruling National Front coalition, led by the dominant United Malays National Organisation (UMNO), is contesting a critical by-election that will test its popularity since disastrous losses in national polls last year.
Najib, who is UMNO deputy president, is leading the charge for the January 17 vote in northeastern Terengganu state.
Recently there have been growing fears over "Islamisation" of Malaysia and the increasing polarisation of the three main ethnic communities.
About 60 percent of Malaysia's 27 million people are ethnic Malay Muslims. The country's minority Chinese and Indians are mostly Buddhists, Hindus or Christians.
Issues related to religion, language and race are sensitive matters in Malaysia, which witnessed deadly riots in 1969.
Malaysia is already tipped for slower growth of up to 3.5 percent for 2009, well down on earlier projections as the global crisis bites into export demand and foreign direct investment inflows.
Najib urged voters to return the Kuala Terengganu seat to UMNO to ensure racial unity and economic growth.
"If we do make the right decision, our country can disintegrate and we will never be able to pass on this strong Malaysia to our next generation," he said.

For those who voted him must be regretted like hell. His country of how many races, he did not know and keep singing the old tune.
