Anwar says Tunku is still his guide in leading the Madani government
Unfortunately, what we are seeing today is the growing conservatism and intolerance that are threatening the unity and harmony of the raykat of diverse ethnicities, cultures and religions that once existed between the people during Tunku's time.
What is happening today is a far, far cry from Tunku's time when the raykat went along their days respecting and treating each other like genuine fellow Malaysian brothers and sisters.
Today, there is growing suspicion and distrust between Malaysians of different races, cultures and religions.
We even see attempts to impose what is considered socially/religiously acceptable or not; Muslims for example, told not to join their friends celebrating Christmas.
And the recent JAKIM proposal, now abandoned because of strong objections, on guidelines for Muslims attending non Muslim celebrations/events and the requirement non Muslim events to obtain prior permission before inviting Muslim guests.
Even the Sultan of Selangor has voiced his opposition to the proposal
Plus constant raising of issues over alleged religious insults like the KK Mart socks incident.
All these are not helping to promote unity and harmony among the rakyat of different races, cultures and religions unlike during Tunku's time.
So, Anwar ,how is Tunku still your guide in leading your so-called Madani government when it comes to promoting unity and harmony among the diverse multi racial, multi cultural and multi religious population?

He can say what he likes, but actions (or the lack of) speak louder than words.

Yep! Cakap tak serupa bikin (Malay for 'actions don't match the words)
