Datuk Mukhriz Tun Mahathir reiterated today that since the Malay leaders are silent and tolerant towards non-Malays, Barisan Nasional component leaders seems to be raising the issue of 'Malay supremacy' of late.
Datuk Mukhriz further stated that only UMNO can voice anything while the BN component parties must keep quiet and obey UMNO and must concentrate on their own community problems and issues.
Datuk Mukhriz added that non-UMNO members, including BN component officials must not deliberate any issue pertaining to the Malays, especially questioning the Malay supremacy or special rights enjoyed by the Malays that is enshined by the Federal Constitution. He further quoted that recent statements made by component leaders would only create a tiff and will jeopardise the cordial and friendly situation enjoyed among the component parties.
The UMNO leaders have been tolerant so far but recent statements just insinuate the Malay feelings. Component party leaders need to avoid speak on this issue which hurt the feelings of UMNO and Malays. Datuk Mukhriz stated that the issue of Malay supremacy have been misunderstood and what they should do is to find ways of uniting the Malaysian society. When these component leaders make these statements, it shows that they know nothing of our history or maybe they are trying to act as champions to their own community.
The only way to resolve this issue is to have a singular uniform education system which will create greater interaction which will overcome our present predicament.
Datuk Mukhriz is vying to be the UMNO Youth chief in the forthcoming UMNO polls in March 2009. Datuk Mukhriz is the son of the former premier of Malaysia.

Tak adil Datuk Mukhriz cerita soal sekolah satu aliran. Senang nak komen datuk, tapi kenapa Datuk tak bagitau bapa untuk melaksanakannya semasa Tun menjadi PM. Kan Tun was a very powerful PM once. Atau hanya satu lagi permainan wayang politik? menjelang pemilihan UMNO?
Kenapa sekarang mau UMNO sahaja bersuara - sedangkan banyak kelohan orang Melayu di Penang di Bawah Gerakan semasa Tun memerintah - tapi tak ada apa yang berlaku. Tak baik Datuk! Ingat tak dulu adik beradik Datuk mengawal banyak syarikat di KLSE? Orang Melayukah yang bagi? Ada kaitan tak kenapa masa tu isu seperti ini diletak di bawah tikar?
Tak baik main isu sentimen Datuk. Mungkin Datuk akan menang Pemuda UMNO tapi buat apa kalu perahu UMNO tenggelam dalam PRU13 - kecuali Datuk bercadang "take the money and run"
