This blogger’s present trademark is to insult the Chinese and other non-Malays, which is particularly sad since he is married to a Chinese.
However, his own credentials are shaky when claiming to speak for Malays.

Under Malaysian legislation prohibiting dual citizenship this nullifies his right to a Malay passport.
