It is for the senior PPBM personality in question to explain why he called upon the PH government to resume the granting of contracts to special interest groups, especially members of the Malay community.
That, as has been pointed out, is the main reason why voters kicked out the corrupt BN government. And yet, only months later, special communal interest groups are calling for what would amount to a reversion to BN corruption! And being cheered for doing so.
The top leadership of that party need to correct that impression as rapidly and openly as possible. One way would be to remove the offender from his post.
