MCA and DAP push back against Dr Mahathir Mohamad's remark about Malaysian Chinese being a 'wealthy lot'. FMTNrews Weekasiong LimGuanEng
DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng speaks up about stereotyping, days after MCA president Wee Ka Siong accuses the party of keeping silent.
Lim said in a post on his Facebook page yesterday that “Malaysia is not colour-coded” and that “skin colour does not guarantee that you are rich or poor. This is wrong”. The issue arose last week when MCA president Wee Ka Siong protested about Mahathir’s comment in an interview with a Hong Kong-based website. Mahathir had been quoted as saying that Malaysian Chinese were a “wealthy lot”, with a majority of them living in the cities and urban centres which he said was an “unhealthy trend”.
The MCA president took a jab at DAP for not making any response to Mahathir’s remarks. “Is DAP now so afraid of telling Dr Mahathir off?” he said, in a reference to DAP’s support of Mahathir after he resigned as prime minister in February, and his subsequent attempt at regaining the position.
