Independent MP Zahrain Mohamed Hashim challenged PKR de facto leader Anwar Ibrahim to give up his 'Datuk Seri' title if he believes that the society must reject the concept of 'ketuanan Melayu' (Malay supremacy).
Zahrain (left), (Ind-Bayan Baru), a former PKR leader who had a fallout with Anwar, found it odd that they (PKR leaders) were rejecting Malay supremacy to show that they are Malay leaders of integrity and said that the comments made during PKR's national congress last week “affronted” the Malay rulers, whose sovereignty was upheld in the federal constitution.

The Prime Minister’s campaign continued. He silenced the Rulers over the issue of the 1987 ISA detentions; staged a hostile debate on the monarchy in the 1990 Umno general assembly after the loss of Kelantan to PAS; removed the Rulers’ immunity to prosecution following the constitutional crisis of 1992-93; stripped away their flights, outriders, and special hospital wards; and in 1994, with little opposition, finally removed the need to obtain the Rulers’ assent for State laws.
