Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad publicly criticized Malays for their perceived laziness, lack of diligence, and tendency to blame others for their failures.
He highlighted their irresponsibility, poor decision-making due to insufficient knowledge, and propensity to delegate tasks rather than taking ownership.
Mahathir condemned Malays' untrustworthiness, tendency to break promises, and willingness to take things or money that do not belong to them.
He specifically cited the widespread failure to repay PTPTN loans, equating the unpaid sum to the 1MDB scandal, which he stated has eroded trust and made banks hesitant to lend to Malay traders.
