Incoming Prime Minister Najib Razak has promised to relax the FIC guidelines and dismantle the New Economy Policy. The relaxation of the guidelines mean very little if the mindset of policy makers, civil servants and some segment of the community remains the same.

The appointment of Low Siew Moi as acting GM of PKNS by Selangor Chief Minister Khalid Ibrahim is a prime example.

Six staff bodies of state agency Selangor Development Corporation (PKNS) have objected to the appointment of a senior official as acting general manager on grounds that she is Chinese.

In their joint memorandum dated Oct 25 to Khalid, the staff associations said: “PKNS was established for Malays and to fulfill the Malay agenda. Because of this, the organisation needs to be led by a Malay.”

The document was signed by the respective heads of associations of senior officers, executive officers and workers; the sports and recreation club; Islamic association, and staff welfare body.

“The associations, unions and welfare bodies do not deny the capabilities of Low Siew Moi (left) in the management of finance,” they said.“However, leading PKNS would need certain leadership criteria, among them, rapport with all staff and associations and ability to communicate with different levels of personnel.”

The memorandum stated that, as PKNS conducts activities that are spiritual in nature, its leader must understand and practice Islamic values. “In other words, the one who will become the general manager will be the ‘imam’ for all the staff,” the signatories said.

The reasons given by the six staff bodies of PKNS are ridiculous. First, they acknowledged Low's capabilities but still insist on race selection as the prime criterion. If these representatives are truly concern about development and socio-economic well-being of their own community they should support the most qualified person to do the job.

PKNS, deliver the result and serve the nation.

I do not care whether the GM is Malay, Chinese, Indian, Singh, Iban etc. as far as he/she is working for the people and bring profit is more than the skin color.

Forget about UMNO goons, just like the case in UiTM.

PAS may protest as they are so fear they will lose "ketuanan Islam", believe me.

Let's see how Khalid resolves this issue.
It'll indicate whether PKR's embrace of change is cosmetic or otherwise.
But can it be authoritatively confirmed that PKNS was established for Malays?
If it is not, then race should not be a criteria for the appointment of the GM!!

May be then DISMANTLE PKNS, and establish it on the RAKYAT basis, not on a RACIST basis.

Don't they have enough imam ? Is it an imam's job is to run a State DEvelopment body ? Don't they know the PKNS , as the name suggests is to develop the state, not to take care of their spiritual need? How stupid can they be ?

These people have been fed with shit all these years, now have all become shit heads through and through!!

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

The "Old Man" already planted these "seeds" some 20 years ago, now the tree already grown big and it's producing its "poison fruits".

The "Old Man" must be laughing happily at home seeing the "tree" he planted 20 years ago really didn't let him down.

The only way to correct this situation is by "replacing" these trees and if possible together with the "Gardener" who has planted these trees, put the
"fertilizer" and "water" it daily. Otherwise, no matter what the trees going to produce the same "poison" fruits.

Today they that PKNS is established for the Malays and all along the country was for the Malays - this honestly rules out the ORANG ASLI, the true sons and daughters of the soil.

IF PR is serious about their declaration , it is high time they show it and kick all these goons for good. If PR relents then we know that it is merely a ploy to cheat the Man on the street to gain his/her votes.

The mindset of most malays have already undergone constant brain-washing for the last 51 years that all rights must be reserved for the malays, by none other than UMNO goons.

It would a tall order to undo the damage when hantu toyol is always there to incite racial flames of hatred against other races.

Please, my fellow selangor people, do you still remember who was the one who order masjids and suraus to be 'sita'? He is our beloved HANTU TOYOL. he thinks that the rakyat have poor memories, but to those who have forgotten, please confirm the accusation with the locals, they will tell you like it is....

Socratesl, I agree with you that....'try to buy back malay votes..' Unlike decades ago, the malays of today are no longer submissive to age-old blind patriotism to those holding higher position in society.

These new breed of malays are educated enough to differentiate from black to white,and vice versa, and they have the wiliingness tho speak their mind without the fear of reprimanded by any authority, and most importantly, they have 'pendirian' of their own.....

What the racist don't see is the Law of Marginal utility of any policy. Every policy is subject to the law whether you like it or not and the NEP's marginal utility is already zero by all estimation. The policy was afforded by initially by FDI and productive minority. In recent years it was oil. But that is now ending with declining reserve and why it can continue is our fiscal deficit and savings. Taping the EPF for Valuecap is not a co-incident - its systematic drift of the NEP policy. In the past, the first place they tap was actually Petronas or Bank Negara. Now its no longer enough and the EPF and Bank Negara will be the last place they tap before this country goes to the basket.

Put it this way, its no different what they are doing then what the US did that lead to the current financial crises. They are (racial) privatizing profit and socializing losses. When the adventures of the elite take a hit, they will put us all in a mess.

The fact that in private sectors there are malays and non-malays reporting to non-malay, and non-malays and malays reporting to malays. This has been practised almost everywhere including Malaysia. So I do not understand what is the fuss about?

Why are we bumiputras' mentality so low? No wonder the Malays can never achive or be at par with other non-bumiputra like the Chinese. Even with the NEP, they can't even move to steps nearer. All of this is because of the stupid mentality. They would prefer to fall back rather then to accept other people with capabilities to guide them to step further. No wonder the NEP fails!

If it is that PKNS is meant for only bumiputras/Malays, then why in the first place Low Siew Moi was hired?
If we, bumiputra wish to be at par with the Chinese we should accept the appointment and learn from them how to do business! Don't just learn how to be ARROGANT, RACIST, CORRUPTION, FAVOURITISM and CRONYISM. http://anakdesa1108.*********....overnment/

Sadly this is what is happening within the bumiputras/Malays....just look at all the Umno party's election, without corruption it wouldn't be call party election. It seems that these two words should and must go hand-in-hand!
