The Malays appear to be caught in a race to embarrass one another and are obsessed with the blame game which only reflects poorly on themselves, said Deputy Yang di-Pertuan Agong Sultan Nazrin Muizzuddin Shah.
He said the nation’s political culture now had created a new obsession, that is of a racist nature and promoting a thinking that prioritise loyalty to a group rather than accepting the importance of the truth, and influencing minds to give more importance to group rather than the survival of the ummah ((Muslim) in general.
Sultan Nazrin said the Malays now appeared to be increasingly weak because they had lost the spirit of “ukhuwah” (brotherhood), were weak in character, and sinking in the race for materialistic gain and increasingly intoxicated in the competition for power.
“Islam has built a Malay race that is disciplined, trustworthy, honest, noble and sincere. Islam has united the Malays by building a solid brotherhood so much so that the Malays are strongly united and emerged as a strong race, but today the Malays seem to be getting weaker,” he added.
