Malaysians have hit back at Perkasa’s claim the "hundreds of eminent Malays" with it are "greater" than the 25 eminent Malays who called on moderate Malays to speak up against extremists by starting an online petition in solidarity with the 25.

Yesterday, Perkasa president Ibrahim Ali said at the right-wing group’s annual general meeting that he believes that its "hundreds of eminent Malays" were "greater" than the 25 eminent Malays who recently spoke out in favour of moderation.
