'Do not leave your fate in the hands of the elite' - Sanusi
KOTA BARU: The elite should no longer determine the country’s direction, with ordinary Malaysians now needing to rise and have a greater say in shaping the nation’s future, said Kedah Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor.
Kota Baru: Datuk Seri Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor, Kedah Menteri Besar, has called for ordinary Malaysians to take a more active role in shaping the nation's future, arguing that the country should no longer be dictated by the elite. According to Sanusi, although the elite make up only around 10% of Malaysia's population, they control a significant portion of the country's wealth, with 75 to 80% owned by this group while the other 90% of Malaysians only possess about 25% of the wealth.
He believes this imbalance is unfair and that it's time for the majority to take control of their own destiny. Sanusi emphasized that the elite do not comprehend the everyday language and realities faced by ordinary people, leading to misunderstandings and offense when colloquial terms are used. He suggested that the structure of the country needs to change, as the elite's wealth and privilege cannot fully understand the struggles of ordinary Malaysians.
Sanusi's comments were not directed at all members of the elite but at those who have grown up in wealth and privilege and may not truly empathize with those who struggle.
