As for the NEP (New Economic Plan) I have one question:
How Long?

It's ok if at the end of the day, this plan will actually benefit the poor Malays back at the rural areas, but will this really happen?

"It's so that everyone gets a piece of the cake".. I don't see why only specified people or race groups are deemed 'not' getting 'enough' portion of the cake. Because, the way I look at it, there are many other races (i.e. the Indians) in our country who are in extreme poverty and who are not in the specified economic field in a balanced proportion.
Then , they will say, that's the job of the MIC. With someone who has been there (the MIC) for centuries who will never budge, I do not think there will be support for the Indians, because, he is just like 'lalang' .

It is unfair to give time for a group of people when you do know, at the end of the 30years, the plan did not even reach its target. What makes them think that it will work now, despite all the so-called 'regulations'?
As far I am concerned, if you really want to make a certain group of people competitive, GIVE them COMPETITION, you want to make them 'GLOCAL' , GIVE them the ability to face the real 'global and local' reality! Don't come up with plans, (that, nevermind didn't work in the first place) and claim that it will help 'balance out' and have everyone 'share the cake'.
They say 'don't be afraid to take risks'. I think it's about time WE did.
