From malaysiakini.com: I refer to the Malaysiakini report Tengku Faris: Non-Malays should not seek equality.

I am most disappointed with Tengku Faris and I feel that the speech highlights one aspect which is so wrong with this country - that there are some Malays who feel that they are superior to the ‘other races’, have special rights, deserve special privileges and different treatment. I should emphasise that it is only some, and not all, Malays.
