KUALA LUMPUR: The primacy of Malay dignity and the inherent strength of Malay society are built on the foundations of Islamic values, says Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

The Prime Minister emphasised that this is an aspect which needs reiteration today, noting that it was highlighted in several books written by the Royal Laureate Prof Diraja Tan Sri Dr Syed Muhammad Naquib Al-Attas.

"This is an aspect which needs reiteration, particularly in this day and age, rather than partake of the self-induced delusion of 'Malays losing power' and the consequential chest-thumping hysteria in asserting 'Ketuanan Melayu'," he said.

He was speaking at an extempore speech on 'Islam: the Covenants Fulfilled' by Syed Muhammad Naquib at the World Trade Centre Kuala Lumpur (WTCKL) on Sunday (Jan 26) night.

Also present were Higher Education Minister Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abdul Kadir, Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek and Prof Dr Alparslan Acikgenc from Ibn Khaldun University, Turkiye. – Bernama
