(Morning News) Former Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir said that the Chinese people published last month to eat with chopsticks to eat only to highlight cultural differences.
"Perspective Malaysia" reported that Mahathir said in an interview with radio on Wednesday (January 5) that he had no intention of degrading the Chinese News Agency and knew that he was not only Chinese, but many other nations also used chopsticks.
Mahathir said: "What I want to show is cultural differences. I chose to use chopsticks as an example because this is the first thing that emerged in my mind."
On December 12, 2021, Mahathir introduced his new book at the chain book bureau of the Midtown Mall in Kuala Palion to seize the hope: when he continued to fight for the new Malaysia, he pointed out that the Chinese and the population of about 26%of the Malaysian population accounted for the population.About 10%of Indians retain their cultural customs.
Mahathir uses chopsticks to eat with chopsticks as an example. The Chinese not only use Chinese dialects, but also use Chinese official language like Chinese, so they cannot integrate into Malaysia's society well.
Another former Malaysian Prime Minister Najib countered Mahathir later that the Malaysian Chinese do not use to eat, the most important thing is that he believes that he is Malaysians.
