00:00Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim defended the appointment of M. Kumar as the Director of Bukit Aman's Criminal Investigation Department,
00:08saying race should not stand in the way of competent individuals holding important posts in the government.
00:30Kumar officially took over as Federal CID Chief on August 8th, replacing Shuhaili Zain who was transferred to lead the Malaysian Border Control and Protection Agency.
00:40On August 12th, Prasad Tuzbadro Hisham Shaharin posted a delayed congratulatory post on Kumar's appointment, saying this shows that Malaysia has started to embrace the Malaysian-Malaysia concept.
00:53He also cited the promotion of Johnny Lim as a Lieutenant General in the Armed Forces, saying that if the concept continued to be accepted by the government,
01:01Malaysia could soon have its first non-Bubiputra Chief Justice, Armed Forces Chief and Inspector General of Police.
01:09Anwar also hit out at those who fan racial sentiments by claiming that the national language is being eroded and that the Chinese community is becoming more politically powerful.
01:19If we want to save the country, we must have to be determined that the majority is the majority and the minority.
01:28If we do not want to be tyranny of the majority, we also do not want to be tyranny of the minority.
01:35So we must be more politically aware.
01:39We must be more balanced, if we are to be more balanced, we must be more balanced.
01:41We must be better than we are.
