“I am only raising the provisions of the constitution. Is defending the constitution illegal? Instead, it is unconstitutional to promote a multiracial country,” Mahathir said in an announcement on Monday.
“Is the government acting against the rule of law – including the constitution – which fails to mention that Malaysia is a multiracial country? Instead, the constitution emphasizes the Malay-Malaysia relationship.”
“Therefore, Anwar must follow the DAP manifesto by specifically making a multiracial film Malaya [Malay land] and replacing the official religion of Islam with a secular country and a country without an official religion.”

Huzaidi also denied that DAP has much influence in the federal government, because the party has only 4 ministers.
“Enough of manipulating Malays by exploiting racial issues to gain power and positions,” Huzaidi said.
