Race-based events are racist if they sow hatred towards others - Khalid

A race-based gathering itself is not racist until it is used as a platform to create hate against other ethnicities, said Federal Territories Minister Khalid Abdul Samad.

Taking to Twitter today, the Amanah party leader was responding to Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad, who had expressed frustration over allegations that the recent Malay Dignity Congress was a racist gathering.

"Gathering is not a problem, but it is the content. All races, and ethnicities, do gather to discuss problems faced by them and the country to find ways to address the problems.

"However, if it (the gathering) is used to sow hatred towards other races, only then it is being racist," he tweeted.

...

Mahathir, who is Bersatu president, had attended the congress which was held in Shah Alam on Oct 6.

Khalid was not among those present at the congress.

The gathering had been criticised by certain quarters for its speeches, which were alleged to be racist in nature and insensitive in a multiracial country.

Can I change race. Lel

bangsa H ready with their vtetek

Woof woof amanah

Exactly! The MP of Shah Alam has described the Maruah Congress to a T.

Look, if the Malays want to have a congress to constructively discuss problems and solutions, by all means go ahead. A prosperous, forward looking Malay populations helps EVERYONE. A Malay population that succeeds of their own accord without needing to step on the backs and faces of other races or without playing the victimization card is most welcome and embraced.

But if all the Malays in the Maruah Congress can do is moan and point and blame the nons, and give solutions that demand submission from and domination over the nons, then the Malays can go *beep* themselves for all I care. I won't be fighting for the Malays to not be buruh asing or pembantu rumah murah in the next 10 to 15 years. I won't be fighting for this country on a national level. As it is, as far as I am concerned, Kelantan can go fvck itself any time, any day. If it sinks into the ocean tomorrow, I won't even bat an eyelash.

Dignity is earned. Respect is earned. Progress is worked for. Not given on a silver platter. These intangibles can never be tongkat-ed to you.

Khalid for PM.

like a neo nazi gathering

all about jews taking over

U got see other races gathering like that?

Lolz, why everyone is ATTACKING TUN right now?

Well said, well said.

Deservedly so

His president went liao, inb4 mat sabu camp vs khalid samad camp.

u need to have ball of ultimate enhanced steel to do gathering like that if ur race is otherwise

actually... that gathering got what discussion n goal?

So true. You can work hard to make your race and religion great but don't spread hatred. Don't make your followers hate other race or religion.

TLDR => Ketuanan Melayu

tuan tuan tuan

semua mau jadi tuan

KAD MARUAH ACTIVATE!

Nons will always support n help if they need it. Instead, they went w blaming game, hate game, reminding game, threat game... thats when it goes down the drain.

Whats really hurtful is when nons starts to remind, blame n drumming war tones... thats when they will cry foul

some people were triggered by said event
goes to show that its a triggerful event.

anwar for pm!

Kesian 60yrs still fighting for maruah and tongkat

Others ald advanced ahead for so long

Nxt life pls born to other country and family

Respect Khalid Samad, he is a real Malay

For some reason, I think the interpretation of dignity is slightly different when try to say in BM and English. BM is more like taking good care of "dignity" or uphold dignity while English interpretation is like "earn your own dignity and prove it to others".

On the comments as usual Khalid barua DAP, pengkhianat melayu etc...

U need dignity before you can uphold it. There is no difference in the meaning

This. Well said. But watch out for a tsunami of complaints from crutch-cronies soon!

can u imagine if all the help is given to those deserving it? we may have many billion dollar companies now
