OCTOBER 23 — Malaysia works on five social contracts beyond the Federal Constitution.
The third social contract, involves a colour blind affirmative action, in the form of National Economic Policy between 1979-1990. Unfortunately, NEP while still in existence has been impoverished by the kleptocracy of the previous regime; to the degree where even Mara cannot afford to send more Malay students abroad.
All the social contracts are the key edifice of Malaysia. But as can be seen from the fifth and final one, economic prosperity is a “black swan event.” No one predicted, or knew, by 2018, that China would reach such a level of economic sophistication to compete head to head with the United States; so much so that they are now trapped in a high tech trade conflict.
Governance, ironical as it may sound, involves what Professor Alex Callinicoss called “abolition of politics.” In fact, the original view of Karl Marx called for a state that can abolish “politics” too. That is, of course, a Utopia and true enough, Soviet Union collapsed by 1990. Secondly, Malaysians should not further assume that the state is there to extract oil and gas from the ground, export them at a premium, and using such largess to adopt a policy of blind subsidy. Universal Basic Income can be considered for all poor people but all able bodied men and women must work hard and smart to adapt themselves to the digitized world.
