SHAH ALAM - Co-founder of Buku Jalanan Chow Kit Siti Rahayu Baharin said Malaysia is divided into two classes - 'bangsa kaya' or the rich and 'bangsa miskin' or the poor.

Rahayu who will be contesting in the Tanjung Karang Parliamentary in 15th General Election said that 'bangsa kaya' care less about 'bangsa miskin' regardless of their skin colour.

"Bangsa kaya wouldn't mind hiring cybertroopers even as a politician right now, I wouldn't have that much of money to hire cybertroopers.

"I rather spend my money on children who cannot attend good quality education, children who are stateless and can't get a formal education," she said.

She said this during Sinar Daily's Wacana English Edition programme entitled "Mission Impossible: Breakdown of Race and Politics" on Monday.
