Hear Hear... majority group in Malaysia being marginalized

Waking up from last night's fever because of toothache, I could not believe when I read Father of all frogs, Ibrahim Ali's quote:

Citing the United Nation’s charter, Ibrahim also said affirmative action policies for “the economically-marginalised majority group” must remain because the majority’s agenda was the “national agenda”.

Something is wrong somewhere. I was sure UN's Charter normally protects minority groups being bullied by majority groups. Here we have majority group being marginalized in a country run by the same group! Either the ruling party failed or the majority failed. Can you imagine a football match played by a team of 11 against 5, with the referee biased towards the 11, yet the bigger team complained the match was unfair against them!
