A lot of us cuss and curse the NEP, but it insulated us against the extremities of islamisation and created a sizeable malay middle class in record time. In less than a generation, we have put wealth into the community, even if it is only a select few of them.

What is more important is that everyone now sees the wastage in such compromise and a more equitable approach is sought. Contrary to what the skeptics think (and there ARE billions here and there being pocketed by dubious characters, be it Malays, Chinese or Indians or any other ethnic denominations), our country will grow out of this, provided we don’t stop fighting and working to improve the system.

the NEP benefited a lot of Umno cronies who became filthy rich. A lot of middle-class Malays have not benefited but instead have been made the butt of jokes by other races.

i do not believe the bumiputra mass benefit much from amanah saham as most of them do not have the resources to subscribe to the maximum allowed unlike the elites.

and i do suspect there are many who surrogates for the elites!

again the elites benefit!

perhaps you may try to obtain some statistics to prove the validity of my comments.

the effective filtration process in this country always leave trickles to the intended groups!

the filtration processes has been perfected since the inception of DEB!

Bro I totally agree. the connected ones are the greedy ones and they have made their money, some the very next day. Remember one son in law of a minister, got so many shares. so normal malays,if lucky get 1 lot lo.

what we want is get rid of corruption and have open tenders. but they would not do that cos that will hurt them in making money.

someone should translate this into/ u should write this in BM, so that the ordinary Bumi folks can see/ try to understand why the non-Bumis n the ‘liberal Malays’ have been asking for the abolition of the NEP…

it’s just shocking how there could be so many SHAMELESS hypocrites in this country… acting like a ‘defender’ of the race n calling for ‘eradication of poverty’ on 1 hand, then turn around to ‘makan padi’… how do these ‘millionaires’ sleep at night??

i hope they all end up in HELL.
