Nizar: Perak truly Malaysia

Earlier, Nizar told a crowd of about 300 during the forum that during his administration, there was a marked improvement in racial harmony, as evident in the multi-racial turnout in many Pakatan events.

He attributes this to the Pakatan formula of governance that emphasised on five thursts - accountability, transparency, fairness, integrity and welfare - which was felt by the public irrespectiv of race.

He said that the 10-month Pakatan administration had broken long-held stereotypes of the three coalition parties and forged greater understanding among people of different background.

I am from the Islamic party PAS. Are you afraid of me? asked Nizar, to which the all-Chinese crowd replied with a resounding No!.

Nizar said that Umnos current mono-ethnic government in Perak, may not guarantee success in Perak which has close to 50 percent non-Malay population.

In Terengganu, they have a whole government made of people from one race, but they have been fighting up until now, said Nizar, drawing applauses of agreement.
