Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad acknowledged that the Pakatan Harapan government is in a Catch-22 situation on the issues of race and religion.
The non-Malays view his administration as favouring the Malays, as well as Islam.
An example of this, according to Mahathir, was the Matriculation intake which since its inception had been reserved 90 percent for bumiputera and another 10 percent for non-Malays.
After complaints about deserving non-Malay students failing to secure a place, the government decided to increase the intake of students in Matriculation from 25,000 to 40,000.
Mahathir provided a frank assessment of the Matriculation system, stating that it was created to provide a "backdoor" for Malays to enter public universities as many did not want to go through the Malaysia Higher School Certificate (STPM) route.
