Najib: More important to be Malaysian at heart than what cutlery you use

PETALING JAYA: Being a Malaysian at heart is more important than the cutlery local Chinese use for eating, says former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.

"It doesn’t matter if Malaysian Chinese eat with chopsticks, fork and spoon, or use their hands, as long as in their hearts and minds, they are truly Malaysians," he said in his speech at the 2021 World Chinese Economic Forum here Monday (Dec 27).
