KUALA LUMPUR - Former Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad has bluntly said that the ruling coalition, the Barisan Nasional, will not give more political power to the Chinese until the Malays expand their economic stake in the country.

Writing in his popular blog on Monday, Dr Mahathir said he had to give the true reasons for the lack of Chinese in high posts after being "startled" by criticisms from a former lawmaker about the issue at a recent gathering.

"In the political field the Malays appear to be in control. Most of the high posts ... are held by the Malays. If these posts are held by the Chinese, then not only will the economy be under Chinese control but the political arena would also be under the Chinese.

"What will be the Malay stake in the country?" he wrote in the post titled "To be or not to be a racist".

He admitted that the Malays were also at fault for not making correct use of the opportunities created for them under the New Economic Policy, which has been around for almost 40 years.

But "since they have not gained a fair share in the economy, then they should be allowed to retain this greater share in politics," he reasoned. The Malaysian Insider

its the blunt truth that people should know. stop demanding without giving. the economy is controlled by a certain group not willing to share if not for the NEP action

he should repent like abang

da mari berbuka

Orang tua semakin hodoh
Sudahlah bodoh macam lalang
Orang Cina tidak bodoh
Mereka ada banyak kilang

Orang Melayu makan udang
Orang Arab makan kismis
Dari dulu asyik bersidang
Sampai ketiak bau hamis

Angan-angan mencipta roket
Keluarkan dana buka tender
alih-alih masuk ke poket
Itulah sebab kita tak ke mana

hoooooooooooo

turn the table back at you...................hypocrite

and you think your group of people that is holding the political power is helping your own people who really needs the NEP and not his cronies?

Updated with the source. I forgot to put source.

frankly if u give chinese more political power, maybe we'd be on our way to the likes of Singapore. its a win-win situation even if ur not in command, u still reap the benefits on the same boat.
Would u rather be held back at the same point or would u rather take a change of leadership and enjoy a prospering economy leading to higher purchasing power leading to higher quality way of life.

ceh, keep all the power lar.

the cainis will just go back in caina. see ya monkeys and keep fighting among yourselves so that you'll be the next zimbabwe.

ini... ini benar !

i dun think so, considering the increasing amount of malays that snub NEP and can succeed without it, they even spit on NEP.

He should concentrate on his overpriced and overrated bakery business.

Actually , i saw this news in Singaporean forum , i wonder how come there's no such news in Malaysian forum .

at least he doing an honest business.

Economy controlled by a certain group?
LOLed.
U think the economy control is gifted by gov ar? people worked hard for that.
Obviously ppl that are spoonfed too much sure cant get a piece of the economy la, since they already very much have what they need.

Ie;
Want loan? > mcm mcm bank will give, SME, Enterpreneur, Earthling loans(no question asked. failed to repay, wont get ctos/ccris)
Want D/C? > got nationwide racial discout on car/house/property/pizza hut(jk) ?
Want tender? > got gov tender only for earthlings
Want monopoly? ? got all ur electric/water/telecommunication/land/transportation conglomerates
Want share? > got asb/++ gazette for earthlings 1st.

Pls continue more if got..
U want success? Go chase for it..
Don't blame others just because u failed to compete with them.

Earthlings. LOL

I really gave up on this country liao, political power or wtv shit just give the meleis lah, lets see how will they fck up this country. To me they're just a bunch of old fools, if a person is more capable in running a country, why not? but they rather let someone inferior to run it just because of his race, no hope.

Capitalism has always been that way. Don't blame it on race like Mahathir. Blame the system.

Itu Mahathir sudah retire patut enjoy retirement la ini masih mau tulis-tulis haiyoyo.

lolz...1Malaysia my @$$....NEP still nt enuff eh??? there are tons of succesful bumi out there.... pls open up his blind eye

drink tongkat ali got power also.... chinese kennot drink tongkat ali?

Chinis drink Wong Lo Kat.

Wong Lo Kat for cooling onli lar... not for power...

yes but not all country fall under Capitalism, though America is the familiar example it all came rolling in Raegan's era

i said it before and i say it again...gomen is a one grand pyramidal ponzi scheme...not in the least they promises you stuff if you become their downlines...instead only a small number close to the apex ate all the cake.
