KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 14 — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has asserted that he will not bow to pressure from certain quarters seeking to alter national policies to favour racial dominance, solely for the sake of political survival.
He said that the status of the Malay language as the national language, Islam as the religion of the Federation, and the special rights of the Malays and Bumiputeras are not matters to be disputed.
At the same time, he gave his assurance that he would remain committed to ensuring justice, well-being, and happiness for every citizen, regardless of their racial or religious background.
Anwar noted that although some have urged him to adjust national policies to prioritise racial dominance in order to maintain political power, he remains steadfast in his principle of leading Malaysia as a multi-ethnic nation.
