If politicians were really 'protecting', Msia won't be in this state, says PSM 

Muda president Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman slammed Wan Fayhsal, stating it is an outdated view no longer relevant to today’s politics.

Syed Saddiq said the “protector” approach is a common tactic among the country’s older politicians to pitch for support from the majority of Bumiputeras – the “sons of the soil” who account for over 60% of Malaysia’s 32 million population.

He said Wan Fayhsal's statement was instilling fear, anxiety, and insecurity among the Malays and it will split the votes and support of Malaysians for parties that carry the voices of all Malaysians, like Muda.
