| The Malay Economic Action Council should give the needs-based affirmative action policy mooted by PKR president Anwar Ibrahim a chance.raised by the body – including the need to close the economic gap between the ethnic groups in Malaysia, particularly between the bumiputera and non-bumiputera – are not unreasonable.
What Anwar is proposing will – properly executed and with the support of all stakeholders – uplift all of the B40s as well as reduce the gap between, as well as within, the different ethnic groups. Such attitudes, as I argue, “…imply that Malays are genetically inferior” – which is of course ludicrous.
"Therefore, like a golfer, it should not be the aim of the Malays to perpetuate this handicap but to strive to improve their game, and thereby reducing, and finally removing, their handicap completely.” As the old saying goes: “Insanity is trying the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.”
This is a natural way forward. But as with anything in Malaysia, politic, racial and religious bigotry take precedence over national unity.
