Dr M’s suggestion an insult, says Shahrir
JOHOR BARU: It is insulting to suggest that Johor Malays are weak and incapable of competing with others in the Iskandar Development Region (IDR), said Johor Baru MP Datuk Shahrir Abdul Samad.
He was commenting on a recent statement by former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad who said that he was not confident that the Malays could compete with the people coming into the IDR.
Shahrir said it was not fair to say that Johoreans were weak.
While he has respect for Dr Mahathir’s views, he felt that the former premier had himself created such a situation and was now complaining about it.
“This is the result of his own strategies and policies. The present Government is just building upon what he has created.
“I don’t understand why he thinks that Johor Malays are weak and I think it is an insult to the Johor Malays,” Shahrir told a press conference after officiating Umno Youth’s sponsorship of books.
Shahrir noted that Kedahan Tan Sri Syed Mokhtar Al-Bukhary had control over much of the logistic hubs in the IDR with his ownership of the Johor Port, Senai airport and 70% of Port of Tanjung Pelepas (PTP).
“Maybe its true that we are weak and since he (Dr Mahathir) is Kedahan, maybe that is why he decided to give the ports to a Kedahan.
“That’s why he has always taken advantage of us, but we intend to prove him wrong,” he said.

tunku : shahrir you should listen and understand what Tun had said in the first place before jumping into conclusion that johor's malays are weak.you had shown your true colours under present government when your lip are sealed when it comes to ECM Libra issue.that shows how credible are you.as politician you should not bring up issue like a kedahan having business in johor, why there are no johoreans owning business in kedah? because of your self interest do no put the johor malays future at stake.
a free zone access in IDR would mean any tom dick and harry can come in.does this mean even a terrorist can come in? all the mafia will come in with their black money and setup a mock up business to hide the illegal business.the israel people can come in freely. will the bumis be able to compete with them? next time use your brain shahrir.
