Two Questions for Muhyiddin Yassin

Yesterday, former Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin said:

“I am a Malay Malaysian. But my thinking has never been to see myself as only Malay. I have to consider the Chinese, Indians and others, because I am a leader of Malaysia.

“I used to say I was Malay first. That is no longer important. I am a Malay who cares for all Malaysians.”

The first question: When he was converted from “Malay first, Malaysian second” to “Malaysian first, Malay second”.,

Second question: Is he prepared to lead a campaign to urge all Malaysians to see themselves as nationality first, ethnicity second?
