PETALING JAYA: The “Malay proclamation” event, which was said to feature former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad, has moved online after two venue cancellations.
In a statement, event organiser Sekretariat Proklamasi Orang Melayu said the campaign will go on “indefinitely” so that it reaches “all Malays who love the country”. The online campaign seeks to educate Malays about the movement’s agenda on issues concerning race and the country.Also included in the statement is a QR code, which when scanned, directs respondents to a Google form that claims that Malays have been marginalised in the country and deprived of political power.
On March 19, Mahathir called Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim’s government a “dictatorship” after the event was cancelled twice. Asked if he knew who directed the venues to cancel the event, Mahathir said he had no proof, but was convinced Anwar was behind it because “nothing like this can be done without his consent or directive”.
