We, as Malays of...100% agreed with melayuglokal...<br /><br />We, as Malays of young generation, should look forward and not hiding behind to protect those little 'priviledges' that government had given to benefit actually only 'certain groups of Malays people'!<br /><br />I'm glad and welcome PM's policy to open those sub-sectors. Come on, We're NOT cowards, and we're READY to make take challenges!<br /><br />Actually, me, as well as my group of friends here, are kinda 'shame' of Malaysian government's achievement so far... tengoklah negara Indo and Thai, and also negara China yang actually past-komunis...when their governments opened those sectors, until now nearly 100%, why their bumiputera not complaining at all? <br /><br />I believe majority of youth Malays have the same thinking, like us here. When we look and concern more worldwide economy, this policy is actually bringing benefits to ALL Malays, and not only sekumpulan melayu or certain companies.<br /><br />We're not politician, nor any base supporters of any sides, biarkan BN or PKR. But, we support good policy and we hate isu perkauman, for that is actually a dirty play by certain politicians for their own selfish benefits! <br /><br />We support 'One Malaysia' jadi Bangkitlah Orang Malaysia!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2739090092944259898.post-50706989171166185332009-04-24T01:20:00.000+08:002009-04-24T01:20:00.000+08:00I had attended thousands of meetings and many PLCs...I had attended thousands of meetings and many PLCs small and medium are always disturbed by the fact of letter from MITI, seeking year after year for re-issuance of Bumi shares.

JAKARTA: Bu...Bumi businessmen will not lose: Najib<br /><br />JAKARTA: Bumiputra businesses will not become “extinct” or lose in competition just because the government has removed the 30% bumiputra equity requirement.<br /><br />Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said bumiputra could still take part in business in a more “open and competitive manner.”<br /><br />“I can see that bumiputra have the ability to compete with the rest. I am not worried that they will become ‘extinct’ or lose out in competition because of this decision,” he told the Malaysian media at the end of his one-day official visit here Thursday.<br /><br />This is his first trip to Indonesia after taking over as Prime Minister on April 3. The Prime Minister on Wednesday announced that the Government had removed the 30% bumiputra equity requirement for 27 services sub-sectors under a liberalisation of the services sector.<br /><br />The sub-sectors - which included the health and social sercvices, tourism, transport, business and computer related services - would have no equity conditions imposed.<br /><br />The move was aimed at creating a conducive business environment to attractmore investments, bring in more professionals and technology, encourage competitiveness and create higher value employment opportunities.<br /><br />The Prime Minister said the decision to lift the requirement was made after the International Trade and Industry Ministry had a series of discussions with the concerned groups.<br /><br />He reiterated that the decision was Malaysia’s commitment towards the Asean agreement to liberalise the services sector, of which Malaysia was lagging behind compared to other countries, including Thailand and Indonesia which had “opened up 100%”.<br /><br />He said the consideration to remove the requirement was not a unilateral one but a multilateral decision.<br /><br />“Other Asean countries have opened their services sector and we are way behind in this. You mean to say our people can’t compete? What’s wrong with our people?,” he said.<br /><br />Meanwhile, International Trade and Industry Minister Datuk Mustapa Mohamed said that this was not “an overnight decision” made by the government and the decision-making process had taken more than three years, with aggressive consultation made with concerned parties as well as relevant ministries.<br /><br />He said it was not as if the bumiputra businesses and entrepreneurs were caught unawares over this decision, adding that on Monday, a meeting had been held to inform concerned parties that the Prime Minister would be making the announcement on Wednesday.<br /><br />“They accepted the decision but made several requests, including in the area of capacity building, better support from financial institutions and the setting up of a one-stop information centre,” he saidmelayuglokalnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2739090092944259898.post-34813212978728769372009-04-23T23:04:00.000+08:002009-04-23T23:04:00.000+08:00bn will lose many malay votes because of this.bn will lose many malay votes because of this.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2739090092944259898.post-931793283386434462009-04-23T21:33:00.000+08:002009-04-23T21:33:00.000+08:00This is another act of the mouse is fixing the pum...This is another act of the mouse is fixing the pumpkin.

When MECD was dismantled, they complained and now this. We should not forever be cocooned in our nest and on crutches. Najib is slowly "training and teaching" the Bumiputras (Malays) to be independent and not rely on the govt. The fact that he dared to do it means he has the confidence the Bumis can and able to compete with others. Common, Najib is preparing for a very very strong and competitive Malay (Bumiputra) for the FUTURE. Most of us, if not all, were products of MARA (Govt) assistance, one way or another. That is/was our generation and it is high time we return the help by helping our children be independent of govt help. <br /><br />The other races faced similar situation and they have become resilient, so high time we build Malays to be one. We should imagine that we are in a foreign land and there is no assistance or policy to help us except us giving the best of what we are offering.<br /><br />Time to fly out of the nest and cari makan like the others. Many may dislike Najib but in the long run, I believe many more will appreciate what he is trying to do. So let us give full support to him and look into the tersirat .<br /><br />P.S.

Once MIDA holds up the 100mil, chances are chinese will offer bribes to get their hands on the 100mil.<br />3. malays will not be able to compete since now bribes / money are more important than competitiveness.<br />4. najib (as tun M said) should focus on malays as their main voters rather than non-bumis as giving (assumptions) more income-tax.<br />5. pushing malay voters in a higher income bracket by NOT liberalize these sub sectors will<br />benefit najib not only in malays spending power as income-tax payer but also as part of voters satisfaction.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08875285553095261464noreply@blogger.com
