It suppose to be start at least 20 years back. This move will strengthen the BN if BN's are sincere to care about Malaysia. However, BN consider race base politic is their weapon to "Defend" Malay, and resulting so much of confused, corruption........bad in Malaysia. The main concern was, does rakyat accepting this "Ketuanan M" concept? (Will tell in the coming election)
Look at the big pictures, look beyond Malaysia.

Tengku Razaleigh made two mistakes. He made a deal with TDM to allow TDM as DPM to Hussein Onn in 1976. He dissolved his Semangat 46 to join UMNO Bahru in 1992.

The UMNO new powers-that-be knows only power and wealth. They are like the CEO of giant corporations which cared for their own wealth rather than the welfare of those corporations. So if the country is ruined and the place becomes unlivable for ordinary citizens, they still have the IGP to arrange for their personal guards. Worst come to pass, they just migrate. TDM did say that he would migrate when Anwar became PM. So migration is an option of all UMNO leaders. They will not remove the umbrella that protects their corrupt practices. NEP might soon be added for religious teaching.

Let's be honest here. What are the chances that you will see the day that Malaysians will truely call Malaysia home. It takes a long time to remove fences than to build bridges. At this moment Malaysians can only dream which is much easier.

Walk the talk, don't just lip service! What have you done to prove that you are not racist? Do you support the non-malays? Do you help the non-malays?

Ku Li, you of all persons should realise that under UMNO's watch racial politics will always be alive and kicking. If you are so sincere about doing away with racial politics, and I believe you are, you should up sticks, move away from UMNO and join the Opposition.

Kill of UMNO, MCA, MIC and just have 1 and that is Barisan Nasional. Current BN party is a truly racist party in the country even though each of the component party disagreed. Just look at the bloody membership race. All just 1 race. How to emulate DAP, PKR? Current BN leaders just talk c0ck when comes to race.

Looks like this politician still does not understand that by his continual membership, he himself is directly responsible and accountable for supporting the seeding and perpetration of racial terrorism and division in this nation.

/// 20. The race riots of 1969 ended the political accommodation and style of the first era of our independence. Parliament was suspended and a National Operations Council put in place under the leadership of the late Tun Razak. He formed a National Consultative Council to study what needed to be done. The NCC was a non-partisan body which included everyone. It was the NCC that drafted and recommended the New Economic Policy. This was approved and implemented by the Government.///--TRH

The objective of communism was to take what you need and give what you can to make sharing possible. That was a noble objective, and the system went a step further from socialism in that distribution was to be undertaken directly by the government. Everybody is equal where there is no discrimination against individuals based on race creed or religion. But only those who are in control of state apparatus are more equal among others. More equal translate into doubling up or more of others’ right.

Communism has a great ideal, and the few countries that implemented it have now only the ideology written in their constitution, and nothing else.

NEP was a new found ideal in 1969, and it had the policy bull eye to dissociate race from economic functions. Consequently race was the only criterion used in NEP spawned projects to restructure society. Had they decided to dissolve all race-based political parties, such as merging the constituent raced based UMNO, MCA and MIC into one Alliance party, and continued with political accommodation and style of the first era of independence, we will now be an economic power in Asia, next only to Japan.

It has been said that a committee has the capability of designing a horse to end up as a camel. The NCC has recommended a plan to make the country race-blind into race conscious.

///21.The NEP was a twenty year programme. It had a national, and not a racial agenda to eradicate poverty and address structural inequality in the form of the identification of race with occupation. It aimed to remove a colonial era distribution of economic roles in our economy. Nowhere in its terms is any race specified, nor does it privilege one race over another. Its aim was unity.///-- TRH

Tengku Razaleigh knows it and says it as it should be said. But do the present UMNO supreme council members know about them and agree to the original objective of NEP, rather than NEP Bahru as TDM had mutated it. Would the delegates who attend UMNO general assembly accept them? The son-in-law of AAB wanted to increase the 30% target of NEP on corporate share for Malays to 60%, and promote Malay agenda to further advance NEP.

NEP was implemented as a racial agenda at its very inception. Malay civil servants were getting accelerated promotion in government departments where it was common since 1970s to see that the non-Malay boss became the subordinates of their Malays subordinate who understudied him. That was how the non-Malay civil servants suffered since the advent of NEP, and the reason why we have only Malays as heads of departments. Though Malays had a higher proportion in the government service before May 13, the ratio increased when over zealous Malays officers exercised their discretion in their own perverted standard of judging merit, with obvious support from their political masters. If NEP had been accepted as a non-racial agenda, meritocracy should be a norm in all selections, such as scholarship awards, recruitments in university teaching posts, in government services, in the judiciary, and the enforcement agencies including the police force. The government pretends the non-Malays were not interested in applying for jobs in government. If the statistics were true, then the government should review its racist policy in recruitment, promotion and assignment within the services.

Without NEP unity could be assumed. With NEP unity is undermined.

/// 22. The NEP’s redistributive measures drew on principles of social justice, not claims of racial privilege. This is an important point. The NEP was acceptable to all Malaysians because its justification was universal rather than sectarian, ethical rather than opportunistic. It appealed to Malaysians’ sense of social justice and not to any notion of racial privilege.///-TRH

Communism was appealing particularly to the young because they were naïve. NEP was appealing in the write up. But when Tun Razak declared that he would not reconvene Parliament unless he could amend the constitution, non-Malays who had the prescient of what were to come over the past 40 years left Malaysia shores in drove. Malaysia have lost two generations of hard working and highly trained personnel after NEP. To the current crop of UMNO leaders, Tun Razak’s remark that it was a good riddance was their guiding light. Indeed had they stayed, some might be making a challenge to their political power. That might be good for the country, but bad for them, the UMNOputras. But they have no concept of a country: it was a corporation for them to milk, like CEOs of the failed corporations caring only for themselves.
