CPPS published a document on Malaysia’s corporate equity distribution recently. As expected, it received massive media attention.
Looking at the reactions by Malay politicians (see here and here) I am truly baffled.
Malays must be the only people in this universe who would vehemently fight to maintain that they are economically and socially backward.
The former PM even said that Malays would run amok if people thought that they are doing well in the economy ?!?
Where else would you find a group of people who becomes angry at the suggestion that they are doing well?
The affirmative action policy should be scrap. Yes, make it gradual. Yes, plan for it carefully. But, there must be clear timetable and clear commitment to scrap it.
