Mengapakah sesetengah orang Melayu dan parti-parti politik Melayu begitu takut untuk mempertahankan sesuatu yang terbukti baik dan menguntungkan semua kaum?

A Kadir Jasin

TERIMA kasih kepada pembahas dan pembaca yang menghayati puisi mudah saya dalam posting lalu. Saya tidak pandai bermadah dan berbahasa tinggi dan indah. Itulah yang mampu saya luahkan untuk melepaskan sebak di dada dan berkongsi rasa.

Terima kasih kepada yang turut berpuisi dan berpantun seloka. Khazanah bahasa ini jangan kita lupa. Madah pujangga dan tunjuk ajar pendeta jangan dipersia-senda.

Ekoran daripada reaksi yang membina kepada posting itu, izinkan saya meneruskan perbincangan mengenai Dasar Ekonomi Baru atau saki bakinya yang nampaknya amat tidak disenangi oleh sesetengah pihak. Mohon maaf jika tampalan kali ini lebih panjang daripada biasa.

Saya hendak mulakan dengan bertanya: Selama 30 tahun Dasar Ekonomi Baru berkuat kuasa, adakah ia menyekat perkembangan ekonomi negara?

Jawabnya tidak. Malah kerana pelaksanaan matlamat-matlamat dan program-program DEBlah, ekonomi Malaysia berkembang pesat.

Keluaran Dalam Negara Kasar (GDP) meningkat daripada RM12 bilion pada tahun 1970 kepada RM120 bilion 1995 dan RM357.9 bilion 2007, menjadikan ekonomi Malaysia ke-29 terbesar di dunia.

Adakah ia menyekat kemajuan kaum-kaum bukan Bumiputera dan membantutkan kemasukan modal asing seperti yang didakwa oleh begitu banyak pihak sehingga membuatkan sesetengah pembesar Umno berasa bersalah dan defensif?

Pun tidak. Kadar kemiskinan dikurangkan dan pendapatan semua kaum meningkat. Tetapi pendapatan kaum-kaum bukan Bumiputera, khasnya Cina meningkat dengan lebih pantas kerana mereka menguasai dunia perdagangan dan profesionalisme.

Jurang Miskin-Kaya Meluas

Malah jurang pendapatan antara yang miskin dan kaya menjadi luas semula sejak beberapa tahun kebelakangan ini apabila kemunculan kegiatan baru ekonomi seperti perkhidmatan (services) dan teknologi maklumat dan telekomunikasi (ICT) lebih menguntungkan sesetengah kaum dan golongan pekerja.

Laporan Rancangan Pembangunan Manusia Pertubuhan Bangsa-Bangsa Bersatu (UNHDP) tahun 2004 mendapati 10 peratus rakyat Malaysia yang paling kaya menguasai 38.4 peratus daripada pendapatan ekonomi berbanding 10 peratus paling miskin menguasai hanya 1.7 peratus.

Kita semua tahu siapa dan kaum mana paling kaya di Malaysia dan siapa pula yang paling miskin di negara kita ini. Malah jurang antara yang kaya dengan yang miskin dalam kaum yang sama turut meningkat.

Bumiputera tidak mencapai matlamat 30 peratus pemilikan kekayaan korporat. Mengikut perangkaan rasmi, pada tahun 2006, pemilikan Bumiputera pada nilai pasaran dalam syarikat-syarikat yang tersenarai di Bursa Malaysia dianggarkan RM88.4 bilion atau 15.1 peratus.

Tetapi bukan Bumiputera yang berupa 34 peratus daripada warganegara memiliki RM251.1 bilion (42.8 peratus) manakala pemodal asing memiliki RM234.7 bilion (40 peratus).

Majoriti aset Bumiputera dipegang oleh institusi amanah dan beberapa kerat ahli perniagaan Melayu yang berjaya.

Tuan Kadir Jasin,

Tidak sesiapa pun menafikan hasrat dan kebaikan DEB jika ia dilaksanakan dengan telus, ikhlas dan saksama. Apa yang telah berlaku semenjak 1980an, adalah program-program DEB telah DIPERSALAHGUNA DAN DIKHIANATI oleh UMNO yang tamak dan gelojoh, sehingga nama, DEB telah "dikotorkan". Seperti ketagihan dadah, selagi UMNO masih berkuasa untuk melaksanakan DEB, maka DEB akan terus dipersalahguna olehnya untuk memenuhi nafsu dan tamak UMNO. Oleh itu, DEB mesti diperkuatkan dan ditukarkan/diubah oleh parti lain selain UMNO demi keharmonian dan kebaikan negara - maka munculnya Agenda Malaysia. Seperti seorang penagih selama 40 tahun, adalah mustahil untuk mengharapkan UMNO untuk insaf dan berubah - ia mesti melalui proses "pemulihan"(cold turkey) selagi ia masih memerintah, UMNO, seperti penagih dadah, tidak akan berubah dan insaf !!

To the So-called Datuk, Please bear in mind that the chinese parent put their children's education in the first place in their own life. They willing to borrow money for their children's education and their kids know very well what this means - work hard, work smart and get a good degree to make their parent proud.

Yes, many malays are poor, but what happens is that their are not willing to work hard in the university ( Overseas Us ) as they always said do not worry, this is government's money, don't need to repay back. This is what I heard when I was a student in UK. What kind of mentality is that ?
Can you Datuk go and check how many of them never pay the money back ? Free loan for first class degree holder, yes I agree as they deserve it. But how many of them ?

DEB helps certain people ( especially UMNO's morons ), only this minority of the majority (Malay) benefit from the DEB. The rest of the majority only can dream of and be proud of them. Why don't you work hard and get rich yourself instead of be proud to them (UMNO's Morons).

DEB - to the chinese and the indian, is a double standard policy, hence the private companies owned by the chinese and indian will apply the same policy to the malay. Just ask what a chinese or indian fresh graduate gets (salary) and compare with a malay fresh graduate from the same course.

DEB means more corruptions among the government departments.

I stopped reading after that bit where he claimed that 30 years of NEP had not stunted economic growth. Obviously, the author lives in his own little fantasy world and is oblivious to any opinions or evidence that he does not find palatable.

I think anybody with the acronym of their name as K.J have some missing links in the brains and racist blood running in their body, let it be someone who is 32 or even 62. Kadir Jasin seems to be still hiding under his bed running from 1969 fear. Why not he get the Malaysian government to put up all the DEB barrier in place and lets see if the in-coming Chinese investors, that Najib said will spur major projects, lands at KLIA or at Changi Airport.People of the likes of Kadir Jasin should be ignored since this sort of write-up that talks only about "my race againts your race" are of no value at all...!!!

Perangkaan rasmi used IPO (or PAR price) to calculate equity ownership of stocks in Bumi hands.
Dr Lim Teck Ghee's (formerly of ASLI-CPPS) study showed that Bumis could actually own up to 45% of the corporate wealth of this country if we used market value to determine the value of stocks held by Bumi and Bumi institutions in this country.

If Kadir Jasin and the likes of him are willing to sell me their stocks at Par value, I'll support his argument.

I tak paham lah. Already 50 years, if given to any race such privileges, kaum tu dah lama maju kecuali kaum itu bangap balol. The actual reason is because UMNO using this so-call affirmative actions aka DEB! UMNO is treating Malays like cows, shiok tumpang nama Melayu for robbing and loathing the nation wealth. Bastard like u won't admit this reason because you are just an UMNO dog.

En. Kadir Yasin, after 50 years, and with so much aid and support, both financial and Government, if you say that the Malays still to depend on the DEB to progress, I can only say that YOU are insulting the Malays. Are you saying that the Malays are so hopeless and disadvantaged that they still to need the crutch, after 50 years, or else, they won't be able to compete or walk unaided? I leave this to the Malays to answer. If I were a Malay, I would feel sorely insulted for someone like Kadir Yasin to insult my race.

"Kita semua tahu siapa dan kaum mana paling kaya di Malaysia dan siapa pula yang paling miskin di negara kita ini. Malah jurang antara yang kaya dengan yang miskin dalam kaum yang sama turut meningkat."

Pak Kadir ni ada masalah serius. Dia hanya nampak kekayaan itu milik satu satu kaum walhal semua kaum ada yang kaya dan ada yang miskin. Ini dah lama jadi masalah Pak Kadir. Cuba lihat perbahasan dia, tidak pernah lari dari kaum.

Saya sokong DEB kalau DEB menanggani kemiskinan tidak kira kaum. Kalau nak golongkan yang kaya, biarlah masukkan yang kaya dari semua kaum dan kalau nak golongkan yang miskin, biarlah masukkan yang miskin dari semau kaum.

Jangan dipengaruhi oleh hantu dan syaitan macam Pak Kadir itu..........

We need to do more to uplift Malaysians and all of us need to do our part to pick up the slack from UMNO.

Pak Kadir qoutes numbers to bolster his warp outlook - the bumi pie 'x'(small) number while the chinese pit 'xx'(bigger) number but all the while he misses the fact that we could have been growing the total pie to 'xxxxx' figures if the NEP had not curtailed economic growth.

I often say we have lost too much, opportunities left unexplored while others benefit. The case of Olivia Lum, an orphan girl originally from Kampar, is a classic tale of a Malaysian who was never given a chance to succeed in her own backyard but instead S'pore provided the foundation, nurturing this bright mind to help her realise her full potential.

Her company Hyflux Ltd, a water treatment specialist was incorporated with initial capital of S$20,000 back in 1989 and Olivia is today worth some S$500 million(Hyflux is no longer a bit player in the water treatment business). While many companies have taken a beating on the SES and KLSE, Hylux continues its expansion China's way with, benefiting from key infrastructure investments made by the Chinese government.

Olivia is only one of the many we have lost, to S'pore and the rest of the world. It is a pity them UMNO bastards still view the world with a myopic outlook while M'sia continues to play second fiddle to S'pore when we could be towering over the Lion City.

Talk of the opportunity cost of NEP and opportunities lost, ours is a sad story. The day the oil fields run dry, I would really like to stare down all in UMNO, supporters and associates to ask them "Apa sudah jadi ?", champions of Malays who have royally screwed the bumi community. Vote them out, now.

hard to believe this guy was the chief at NST. No wonder sales of nst dropped drastically under his helm. malay mail almost dissapeared altogether.
In the end, mahathir allowed him to take over several magazines under NST group as a farewell gift. i wonder what fate these magazine and tabloids suffered.

not only malays, but anyone, when faced with cuts in benefit will protest like hell. But in reality, the nep has failed miserably, hindered growth and businesses, and create bereaucratic nightmare.

nep assisted in lowering our education standards and hardening of religious intolerance. All government based universitires have huge mosque in its premise. Unfortunately, religion hinders freedom of thoughts and logical thinking.

Datuk,
Kenapa selepas 50 tahun masih kita membezakan rakyat Malaysia sebagai bumiputera dan bukan bumiputera.Kenapa kita tidak boleh maju sebagai satu bangsa,tidak boleh kita bahagikan sumber-sumber kita secara saksama.Kita harus membezakan rakyat Malaysia sebagai dua kumpulan sahaja. Miskin dan kaya.Tanggungjawab yang kaya adalah untuk membantu yang miskin tidak kira bangsa atau agama.Pelajaran harus diberikan kepada semua,pelajar-pelajar yang dihantar ke luar negara,harus kembali ke tanah air untuk membangunkan negara.Kenapa datuk,sering berkata kumpulan yang mundur adalah satu bangsa sahaja,daripada mempersoalkan kenapa DEB gagal.Its simple datuk...its excuse by the UMNO goverment untuk menipu rakyat.

Out of 1.5 billion Mainland Chinese, plus 100 million Overseas Chinese population, Olivia's star shines bright. Her success should be lauded generously because her company is in the business of saving the world.

I congratulate her business sense, the good work she does but I would be much happier(bad English, don't repeat) if she were M'sian(orang kita Malays would be apt to say).

Tahukan anda kenapa penduduk dunia Islam sangat miskin? Salah satu sebabnya ialah disebabkan oleh bilangan anak yang banyak. Kalau anak dah banyak, mana ada masa dan wang untuk diberikan kepada anak yang sebegitu banyak?

Salah satu contoh ialah seperti dikawasan perumahan, kawasan perumahan yang saya tinggal bolehlah dikatakan melayu, cina dan india sama rata. Tetapi hanya kanak-kanak orang melayu sahaja merayap seperti anjing jalanan mengutip sampah, curi buah-buahan, merokok, curi besi dan banyak lagi kegiatan yang tidak sedap dipandang. Kanak-kanak seperti inilah akan menjadi mat-rempit, bohsia, penagih dadah, pencuri dan bermacam-macam lagi.

Apakan punca bagi keadaan diatas? Kenapa kanak-kanak kaum lain tidak berbuat demikian? Sebabnya ialah, kaum lain mempunyai bilangan anak yang sedikit! Mereka dapat memberi perhatian dan dapat memberi sokongan samada wang atau masa.

Jadi bilangan anak yang banyak sahaja tidaklah mencukupi, menjamin masa depan yang cerah dan bahagia kepada anak adalah yang paling mustahak bagi ibubapa. Apakah gunanya mempunyai bilangan anak yang banyak tetapi anak-anak itu adalah sampah masyarakat? Biasanya babi akan melahirkan anak yang banyak, tetapi singa hanya melahirklan dua atau tiga anak sahaja. Anda tentukan kedudukan anda!

Salam sejahtera saudara Hamid,

Mungkin sesetengah pihak agak kurang senang dengan kenyataan saudara TETAPI apa yang dinyatakan oleh saudara adalah sesuatu yang tidak boleh dinafikan dan mempunyai mesej yang bernas sekiranya pihak-pihak tertentu mengambil iktibar daripadanya.

Kenyataan saudara mengingatkan saya kepada satu artikel yang saya terbaca di dalam akhbar tempatan. Ianya mengenai seorang lelaki berumur 55 tahun daripada Trengganu yang mendapat kebenaran daripada Mahkamah Syariah untuk berkahwin empat. Pada ketika ini beliau sudah mempunyai 25 orang anak daripada kesemua kategori umur hasil daripada perkahwinan beliau dengan 3 isteri beliau dan kini setelah mendapat kebenaran untuk berkahwin 4, beliau bercita-cita untuk menjadikan jumlah tersebut kepada 40 orang kesemuanya.

Saya tidak tahu samada beliau akan dapat berikan segala keperluan asas dan pendidikan yang sempurna kepada kesemua 40 anak-anak beliau tetapi yang pasti, secara sengaja atau pun secara tidak sengaja beliau akan menyumbang kepada apa yang telah saudara Hamid nyatakan di atas di mana sebahagian daripada anak-anak beliau akan terdedah kepada gejaja-gejala yang kurang sihat.

Saya mohon maaf sekiranya kenyataan saya kurang disenangi oleh mana-mana pihak. Terima kasih

AKJ,

We all know your underlying intention and your underlying outlook. You are just the same like TDM who is an ultra. The only difference is that you are a successful bumi businessman and you are able to put on a less ultra veil compared to others. Another thing we know is that you are smart and are able to massage facts to make it sound right and logical.

That's why the combination of TDM, Daim, you and many others during TDM's era, you guys have legitimized and institutionalized racial discrimination. Over almost a quarter of a century, the Malays have grown and accepted it as their birthright. You know it is wrong, you know it is dead wrong but yet you want to perpetuate this fundamentally wrong concept because it benefits your kind.

You are lucky because firstly you are born a Malay in this country and you are intelligent enough to capitalize on the DEB. You are truly one of the beneficiaries of DEB. But people like you are only the minorities, even among your kind. How many Malays achieve status like you? Why don't you teach them?

It may be true that Chinese dominate the economy, but if you study the statistics in detail, a very few number of people dominate a very high proportion of the country's economy. Most of the Chinese and Indians and other races are just cari makan people, a lot are hand to mouth, just like the majority of the Malays.

If what you say is true, majority of Chinese are well off and dominate the economy, why would they voted for the opposition? If they are so well fed, why rock the boat? The truth is, majority of Chinese and Indians are driven against the wall and they have no where to turn to. They are losing on all fronts. The government's policy is against them. They don't have to money and connection to get this privileges unlike the top few who dominate the economy.

Non Malays in this country is not asking government to scrap NEP solely for their benefit and to the detriment of the Malays. All they asked for is a fair chance in life. They want their children to have a fair chance to get scholarships, enter universities, get jobs of their choice either in private or government sector. Fair minded people believe that if NEP is implemented based on need without race identification, everyone will benefit and the Malays will be the biggest beneficiary if they are the weakest lot.

It is people like you and your children who don't deserve NEP because you are already rich enough. Richer than a lot of Chinese and Indians.

Dear A Kadir Jasin

Remember this because 30 years ago we were on par or ahead of countries like Taiwan, Singapore or Korea. Than come back to the present and we found our Malaysia behind these countries and now in danger being overlap by countries like China and Vietnam. Moreover, we are comparing ourselves with countries like Myanmar, Indonesia and Cambodia which are basically third world countries.

I guess maybe we cannot attribute this to the NEP but it could be we are just not smart enough to sustain our growth. Than if we are not smart we need to find out why we are not able to maintain our smartness or at least sustain or stay close with these countries. You get my point is that if you want to present your argument please make sure you cover everything not just do a half-arse coverage. Malaysian today are not like those that are 30 years ago. Your spin are becoming more of a joke because alternate opinions are readily available through Internet.

You and UMNO can continue to divide and conquer until you become extinct.
