KUALA LUMPUR: A fiery exchange erupted in the Dewan Rakyat after Pendang MP Datuk Awang Hashim sparked outrage by referencing the May 13 racial riots while criticising the 13th Malaysia Plan (13MP) for allegedly sidelining the bumiputera community.
Debating the five-year national development roadmap, Awang questioned why the plan included a development blueprint for Chinese new villages, but lacked similarly targeted initiatives for the bumiputera.
