Pejuang information chief Ulya Aqamah Husamuddin said the former prime minister’s comments have been politicised without understanding the context behind it.
“The analogy was brought up to show an example of how it is different in Malaysia because Malaysians very much define and associate themselves with their roots,” he said in a statement on Tuesday . “As long as we all draw barriers and have these differences, the struggle to unite races and the people will be far from reality.
During the launch of his new book, “Capturing Hope: The Struggle Continues for a New Malaysia” on Sunday , Dr Mahathir had referred to the continued use of chopsticks by the Chinese community here.
Kalau tak dak benda berfaedah, tak payah bercakap la... hilang rasa hormat dah
Just go away!
I would be glad to invite him to have a nice steamboat meal and see how he eats with his fingers
Eating wt chopsticks or hands or fork&spoon or fork&knife was NEVER a barrier 2 unity. It is a mean racist-mind 2 raise such a trivialities simply 2 put blame on others PejuangRasmi
Why must he stirred up something?
Tak kesah siapa yang cerita pasal chopstick ni tapi teori dia benar, sesiapa yang tak sokong pasal makan pakai tangan ni pasti komunis cina
50 yrs on, ppl continue to fall for Tun's divide and rule tactics. Easily riled up will only serve to achieve his objective to polarise the nation to rule. Also he gets to absolve himself of his past wrong doings by finding a boogeyman. Best strategy ? Ignore
Mulut atok meletup
Tell your nyanyuk old man to SHUT UP.
I lost my respect for Tun M. With his comment & latest book. It is leader like him that is the problem.
Lame
Just like how he blew pua’s letter out of proportion

The former prime minister had reportedly used the... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 But for the sake of coming into power during the 14th GE, you numb skulls forged a relationship with him despite your apprehension right? Serves you right! Let's ask the old man to eat noodles with his hands. I feel proud that I am equally adept at eating using my hand, fork & spoon & chopsticks. This showcases Malaysia’s multiculturism. I reject Tun M’s myopic view of upholding 1 culture by steamrolling all others into obvilion.
