Malays stuck in 'time warp', says Rafidah
ADS

Former minister Rafidah Aziz today cautioned that the Malay community will continue to be stuck in a “time warp” unless their minds are liberated from the current “privileged” mentality.

Citing her experiences from half a century of being in active politics, Rafidah said the Malay mindset have always been nurtured to believe that they are special.

“We have been nurtured to believe that we are special. Doesn’t matter if we are actually a nobody, we are special.

“Even if we got nothing ‘up here’ (brains), we are special! It is the nurturing. We (Malays) are privileged,” she said in her speech at the launch of ZI Publication’s latest book by US-based surgeon Dr M Bakri Musa titled, 'Liberating the Malay Mind'.
