COMMENT | 'The UM Law Society believes in the importance of freedom of expression as a fundamental liberty, and with that we stand with Wong and Kon.'

| Recently, Malaysia was alarmed by the commencement of a national event that fanned the flames of controversy in the country.

This congress was held to unite the Malay community and to collectively defend their dignity which was deemed to be severely tarnished, as according to the Chief Executive of the Malay Dignity Secretariat, Zainal Kling. Besides that, Article 136 states that all persons of whatever race in the same grade in the service of the Federation shall, subject to the terms and conditions of their employment, be treated impartially.

Even articles on the appointment of the prime minister, cabinet, deputy ministers, parliamentary secretaries and political secretaries are absolutely free of any race, religion, region or gender bias. This statement sadly insinuates a supremist ideology of Malay dominance. The UM Law Society condemns any form of remarks that taints the multicultural landscape of our country and we empathise with our fellow Malaysians who have suffered from this prejudicial ideology.Furthermore, Mahathir in his speech intended to encourage the Malays to be more economically proactive and to use their resources wisely to uplift their economic and social standpoint.
