I read with extreme pleasure that my Muslim brother Zakaria Maria is for Suqiu ([#1]As a Muslim, I'm for Suqiu[/#], Dec 23). I too share the same view on this very important matter. I would like to assure the Chinese that I will never let any misguided Malay harm them because it is my duty, first to Allah and second to my country, to protect in any way I can, anyone, regardless of his race or religion, from being harmed.

I pray that we will be brave in facing the challenges ahead and we will be victorious in our struggle to develop a fair and equitable future for all Malaysians.
