The gathering is to remind the Malays to improve themselves in so that the bloodshed 41 years ago won't be repeated.
Chairperson Razali Idris insisted that there is no malice, or any racial hatred behind the organisation of the half-day rally and said when contacted by Malaysiakini, "We just want to remind the Malays that we are not better off. And the May 13 incident, propagated by irresponsible parties should never happen again. We just want to empower the Malays to work harder. "We are not gathering to knock down, or insult other races. It is not our intention to threaten other races."
As far as the Chinese community is concerned, especially KL & PJ locals, May 13 is forever etched in their memory as an event where 'Malays chopped Chinese'. One Chinese aunty once told me that one Umno fellow (think she was referring to the Umno Selangor MB then) was the 'baddest' of the them all.
