Lately, I found that most of the bloggers have the tendency to question the basis of the social contract which had been agreed upon by our forefathers,” he said.

  – well if bloggers are a small representation of the population, then imagine how many non-bloggers are talking about the outdated social contract established 50 years ago. How about 50% of the malaysian population? would that be worth considering?

On the publication of a book on May 13 by former Petaling Jaya MP Dr Kua Kia Soong, Zainuddin said the book would only serve to arouse anxiety among multiracial Malaysians. 

“Some issues raised in the book can harm the social contract that has been well-received by the Malays, Chinese and Indians,” he added.

 Arouse anxiety among which malaysians? the ones that have something to hide? Can harm the social contract? How? by realising how much it has maligned our multiracial communities?

is it not, that the truth hurts?

"What’s more important to highlight is our success in Kelantan and the good response by non-Muslims to us," he said. "

 
DAP+PKR=OK
PKR+PAS=OK
