Malays should realise that Malaysia is their country and they therefore must unite to look after and defend every inch of Malay land, Sungai Besar Umno division chief Jamal Mohd Yunos says.

Jamal who is also chairperson of a coalition of Malay NGOs, said there is no other land for the Malays except Malaysia.

“Hence, let us rise and unite, in the name of Malays and Islam, to look after our homeland from any threats and exploitations that are prevalent or hidden.

“This is what we inherited from our fighters and ancestors, which is precious and which we should look after,” Jamal said in a Facebook posting.

He said while he is thankful to Chinese Ambassador to Malaysia Huang Huikang for his concerns over the problems faced by the Petaling Street Chinese traders, the clear message in this was that the Chinese have a place to complain, or fall back on, to protect their fortunes.

“They (the Chinese) have the land, or origin country that is China. If anything happens to them they have a place to rely on (unlike others),” Jamal said in the posting as his clarion call for the Malays to unite.

Jamal had called for a rally to be held at Petaling Street last Saturday, but he was subsequently arrested the night before the planned rally and released on Saturday evening.
