KOTA BARU: The Malay right-wing group, Perkasa, has denied the allegation by Rembau MP, Khairy Jamaluddin, that its approach on certain issues posed an obstacle to the 1Malaysia concept.
Perkasa president Ibrahim Ali said the movement championed the cause of the Malays and was not a racist organisation which encouraged hatred against other races.
"Perkasa's criticisms regarding several issues such as the latest on the statement by MCA Youth chief Wee Ka Siong should not be misconstrued as being an obstacle to the 1Malaysia concept," he told reporters here today.
Wee was criticised by Perkasa for raising the issue on the award of scholarships by the Public Service Department (PSD) to the Bumiputera.
Ibrahim, who is also the Independent Pasir Mas MP, said there were now many issues concerning the Malays and that Perkasa was responsible to defend them as provided for in the federal constitution.
