Dr Mahathir, Muhyiddin hold crucial meeting on Malay Proclamation cooperation
KUALA LUMPUR - Former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad and Perikatan Nasional (PN) Chairman Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin held a crucial meeting to discuss their cooperation on the Malay Proclamation movement.
The two leaders convened for an extensive two-hour discussion at Dr Mahathir's residence last night.
Malay Proclamation Head of the Secretariat, Datuk Seri Khairuddin Abu Hassan said the meeting between the two leaders would invigorate efforts to empower and fortify the position of Malays.
"These two influential Malay leaders are willing to set aside their past political differences to ensure the continuation of the struggle to strengthen our nation's position globally," he said in a statement.
Khairuddin highlighted that the meeting signified a significant step towards achieving complete Malay unity, a goal Dr Mahathir has been actively pursuing in order to fulfill the aspirations and dreams of all Malays.
"Indeed, the non-partisan approach of the Malay Proclamation movement welcomes all Malays who are eager to unite, regardless of their political ideologies.
"The Malay Proclamation Secretariat will spearhead efforts to unify the entire Malay community, identify and address contentious issues, and propose solutions to the problems that have plagued us for far too long," Khairuddin explained.
Last week, it was reported that Dr Mahathir, sought a meeting with Muhyiddin to clarify the objectives of the Malay Proclamation.
"The Malay Proclamation aims to support the Malays as a collective entity because we recognise that they have relinquished significant control over this country.
"They will suffer the consequences if they cannot effectively voice their concerns," said Dr Mahathir.
Prior to this, Dr Mahathir had expressed his willingness to collaborate with Muhyiddin in the upcoming state election.
In response, the Pagoh MP, expressed his readiness to work with Dr Mahathir in the fight for the future of Malays and Muslims.
He further acknowledged that this willingness was driven by recent political developments that have left Malays and Muslims at a critical juncture.
