KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 27 — Former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad today declared at the High Court that he is not ashamed over his Indian heritage, but insisted that he is still a Malay.
Dr Mahathir, 99, also testified that he is defined as a Malay under Malaysia’s Federal Constitution.

“I’m not ashamed to say I have some Indian blood, but that does not mean that I’m not a Malay,” he said at one point of the court hearing today at the High Court here.
Later he said, that wherever he goes — including Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka — people there would claim him as one of their own, but said he was “not embarrassed” about such claims.

Mahathir has been aware of the weaknesses of the Malays since he was a young man. In his first book, "The Malay Dilemma", he argued that a balance had to be achieved between govt support for Malays, so that the would not be economically dominated by the Chinese, and training his people to compete. Mahathir saw Malays typically avoiding hard work and failing to "appreciate the real value of money and property", and hoped this balance would rectify this. He realised that Malays are unable to compete with the other races on a level playing field without the minorities being suppressed and discriminated against. However, his institutionalised racial discrimination backfired. From depending on crutches, most Malays became dependent on wheelchairs and some even need to be carried around on stretchers.
