Wading into Obama row, Dr M says Chinese are rich and Indians are lawyers in Malaysia | Malaysia | The Malay Mail Online




The nation’s
longest-serving prime minister compared it to the situation in the United States,
which he said has no equality at all and where the richest one per cent of the
population control all the wealth.
“In Malaysia,
despite our policies and all that, do you see the Chinese as the poorest people
in this country?” Dr Mahathir told reporters after a book launch at the Institute of Diplomatic and Foreign Relations here.
“And the Indians are
the lawyers in this country, the professionals, doctors and all that. Those who
didn’t come to Malaysia
are not so fortunate.”
Dr Mahathir had quoted
Nobel Prize-winning economist Joseph Stiglitz, who mentioned the inequality in
the US
in his best-selling book The Price of Inequality.
Malaysia, which is 60 per cent
Malay-Muslim, has come under global scrutiny with a series of controversies
affecting the rights of non-Muslims, most notably a government ban against
Christians from referring to God as “Allah”.
