Who was supposed to be incharge of this...anyway ????

Institutions are man's creation to better manage interactions and reduce chaos....policy actions are mere delivery tools for achieving a stated objective.....so when the perception on the institutions n the policies are going off tangent to its original objective one must take a step back to understand the "original" and the current objectives amidst the ever changing environment variables and critically evaluate how best to move forward...

Article 153 framed the thinking of the Bumiputra lot....all this "discussion" from the perspective of non-beneficiaries of A.153 as well as previous abusers of A.153 who could no longer dip its fingers into it .....are counter-productive to the whole process. If the problem was the delivery mechanism than fix it, dont go into do "we" still need such a policy..given the fact the intended objective is still far.

Countries grow and wealth becomes more concentrated, a typical behavior of market economy with some help from the hidden hands of government....not just for the case of Malaysia...yg lu orang kecoh kecoh ni apehal beb??

Lets go back to 1950's had we not put in A.153 how would the current composition of wealth in Malaysia be? In the early years of its implementation the people most negatively affected from it are the foreign companies who came along with the western colonial powers??? Who cares about them, if i was in power then i would have nationalized everything as send those good for nothing invaders back where they came from.....

Read A.153 carefully...who is tasked to undertake the function?? Agong ..so if the people whom the Agong have delegated perform poorly/or abused the delegated responsibility then he should with the powers vested under the constitutions undertake a full audit of the whole activities involved....

Perhaps it is time for Malaysia to have a full analysis something like A Royal Commission of Audit on the Performance of NEP, A.153 and the future challenges facing the Malays in a globalized environment and make strategic recommendations to the Rulers on how best for them to undertake n monitor their own performance in upholding A.153--> This can be a private and honest report submitted to the Rulers and it is for them to then direct the government to execute the recommendations if needed..

Be brave folks the more u sapu crap under the carpet the more u have to clean up in years to come..i think even the pakcik makcik in the kampung have evolved in their thinking....to be able to appreciate about what the problems are......be part of the solution....

We must not forget about how we got here.......those who require enlightenment go and read http://patanibook.blogspot.com/ as well as his latest gem http://deminegara.blogspot.com/2008/11/racial-polarisation-and-forging-of.html
