TUMPAT, June 12 — Some 60,000 Siamese in the peninsular, who are categorised as Bumiputeras, enjoy Bumiputeras rights like the Malays, said Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Seri Mohamed Nazri Abdul Aziz.
“As such all quarters must accord them the Bumiputera rights like other Bumiputeras,” he told reporters after opening the Women in the Globalisation Era at the Machimmaram Siamese Temple at Kampung Jubakar here today.
Mohamed Nazri, who is also the patron of the Malaysian Siamese Association, said Siamese living along the border of Thailand with Kelantan, Kedah, Perlis and Perak had lived in the country for a long time. He urged all quarters to understand the Siamese citizenship status and accord them the Bumiputera rights.
