PSM’s Jeyakumar urges Malaysians to reach out across ethnic divide

Dr Michael Jeyakumar Devaraj, chairperson of Parti Sosialis Malaysia (PSM): “This means that non-Malays should take some effort to understand the economic problems faced by the Malay community – why has rural poverty persisted despite five decades of subsidies?"

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysians should “walk a mile in the shoes of the other” and reach out across the ethnic divide to build a happy future for the nation and their children, urges Dr Michael Jeyakumar Devaraj, chairperson of Parti Sosialis Malaysia (PSM).

In his New Year message on Wednesday he said Malaysians need to find a formula to counter the ethnic politicking that has been poisoning our nation and the thinking of ordinary Malaysians for the past 60 years.
