HIMSELF IN DISGRACE, Najib talks of making the Malay race respected in the world

KUALA LUMPUR - Najib Razak is confident that the Malay race will continue to move forward as a respected race in the eyes of the world.

He expressed this confidence based on the spirit demonstrated by those, especially the youths, who had joined him in the Malay Solidarity Gathering at Bukit Jalil on Saturday night.

“However, the Malays should not be complacent, the Malays must continue to move ahead and be self-sufficient. We must redouble efforts to train the Malays to become a knowledgeable race and strengthen their economy,” he said.

“We must champion the cause of Islam; defend the institution of monarchy and the special privileges of the Malays, uphold the ‘Maqasid Syariah’ by adopting the attitude of moderation; uphold noble values and protect the family institution,” he said via Twitter on Sunday.

He said this guide must be protected and used to develop the Malay race.

He was also convinced that if the Malay race maintained solidarity in bringing progress to the race, nothing could stop them from achieving what they aspired together. - BERNAMA
