  "account": "In a recent statement, DAP lawmaker RSN Rayer expressed gratitude to the government for allocating RM5 million for the construction of a new mosque near the Parliament Jelutong. Addressing the need for increased funding for Islamic development, Rayer emphasized that the party never questioned the special privileges of the Malay people or the position of Islam. He reaffirmed the party's respect for the federal constitution, including the position of the Rulers, Malay language, and Malay privileges. Rayer also thanked the government for the RM5 million grant for the mosque development at Parliament Jelutong, during his presentation of the 2027 Budget in the Dewan Rakyat.\n\nBeyond the Islamic development, Rayer pressed for a greater allocation of government resources to serve the Chinese and Indian communities. According to his figures, Malay civil servants now make up 77.7% of the workforce, followed by Chinese (5.4%), Indian (3.76%), and others (13.2%). Rayer urged that more Chinese and Indian workers be encouraged to serve in the public sector to maintain Malaysia as a country for all its citizens.",
