00:03 Former Prime Minister Dr. Mahathir Mohamad

00:05 is willing to meet National Unity Minister Aaron Agodagan

00:09 over his controversial remarks about non-Malays.

00:13 Aaron previously said he was willing to meet Mahathir

00:16 if the country's longest-serving prime minister continued

00:19 to express sensitive and divisive views.

00:22 In a recent interview with Tamil news channel Tanti TV,

00:26 Mahathir claimed that Malaysian, Chinese, and Indians still

00:29 identified with their ancestral countries.

00:33 Mahathir claimed that Chinese and Indians

00:35 were different from the original people who founded the country,

00:38 as they did not speak Bahasa Melayu

00:40 and had their own schools and culture.

00:43 He also called the Chinese and Indians "migrants,"

00:47 saying they could not therefore claim

00:48 that Malaysia belonged to them.

00:50 He also cast doubt on their loyalty to the country.

00:54 Mahathir has come under criticism for his remarks,

00:57 with Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim describing

00:59 the former Langkawi MP as irresponsible.
