An Open Letter To Tun Dr. Mahathir: The Future Is Not Bleak In The Absense Of Race-Based Policies



I find it difficult to hold which scrapping race-based policies will lead to chaos. The statusquo is some-more unpropitious to a republic in a long run. The existing race-based policies have done small to urge a predicament of a Malays. In actuality it has combined a category divide in in in between a Malay haves as well as have-nots. This WILL split a Malays since critical category inequalities have caused revolutions, even in unaccompanied nations.

Dear Tun Dr. M,

Many years ago, in 1986 or '87, we can't remember a expect year, we had a wish of assembly we in a in isolation family dinner. You were a guest of respect as well as we was a really young boy, vehement to be in a closeness of your soaring presence. we had most things we wanted to contend to we as well as when we walked up to where we were seated we could only conduct a single rhetorical question.
You were really kind. Although in a surrounded by of review with my uncles, we stopped as well as gave me, a small boy, a couple of mins of your time. we spoke to a Prime Minister. It was my 2 mins of fame.

For a better part of my hold up we have been a Prime Minister of Malaysia. In all those years, we saw we as a most appropriate Prime Minister Malaysia has ever had. Sadly, I'm not so certain anymore. we don't depreciate we or disgust we though we question your rationale for a great most things. There have been so most issues which we would identical to to raise with you. It is nearby impossible to cover all here though let me begin with your latest blog post titled "Kaitan Bangsa Dengan Bisnes".The Malaysian Insiderreported this with a headline, "Dr M: Scrapping race-based policies will lead to chaos."
we find it difficult to hold which scrapping race-based policies will lead to chaos. The statusquo is some-more unpropitious to a republic in a long run. The existing race-based policies have done small to urge a predicament of a Malays. In actuality it has combined a category divide in in in between a Malay haves as well as have-nots. This WILL split a Malays since critical category inequalities have caused revolutions, even in unaccompanied nations.

You hold not everybody has equal capabilities as well as a small people contingency be since special care in commercial operation as well as alternative areas formed upon their race. This is an argument which conjunction creates sense nor justifies special considerations. Let me elaborate. Would we allow an aspiring surgeon to turn a single via special considerations, even if he is innately bad during it? And would we trust your hold up under a blade with this person? This is what we propose.

Allow me to yield further example. UiTM was founded in 1956 (as Dewan Latihan Rida) to facilitate a origination of Bumiputera professionals. 56 years later, it ranks among a final in a QS World University Rankings. While it is a largest university in Malaysia, as well as has admittedly combined a lot of graduates, it has done small to emanate world-class professionals.

The IITs of India were combined with identical ideals to UiTM. The first IIT was recognised in 1950, a mere 6 years prior to UiTM. In a same QS World University Rankings, IIT Delhi ranks in a top 200. The IITs have been internationally recognized for engineering as well as technology with entrance exams which have been so tough, possibilities use Ivy League universities as a fall behind in case they do not have a cut. Bill Gates has been quoted as saying, "And it's difficult to consider of anything identical to IIT anywhere in a world. It is a really unique institution."

This happens! when we pursue meritocracy.

In your blog post we ask if it is loyal which race considerations in commercial operation vis-a-vis a NEP has mutilated mercantile growth. My answer is, approbation it has. The NEP's strange goal was eminent though it has turn a tool to justify as well as facilitate nepotism, cronyism, as well as discordant to the strange purpose, inequality. The nation's resources have been unscrupulously plundered to great cronies NOT a common man, be he bumiputera or not. Yes, we've had a great run under your stewardship though a fundamentals have been hindering us from a type of swell which Singapore enjoys. In short, a complement which does not foster as well as reward performance, is innately flawed. If we need proof, look during Malaysian Airlines.

we quote a book Winning in Asia by Peter J. Williamson (Harvard Business Press):

"Those Bumiputera companies with a continued reliance upon preferential diagnosis as well as internal connectors as well as without a broader set of competitive advantages have been unable to successfully expand internationally. To grow, they have therefore diversified across industries within their home country, mostly resulting in a detriment of concentration as well as an inability to build low operational cunning in particular businesses."

And so again, yes, a NEP has mutilated mercantile growth.

You contend which when a distribution of wealth is manifold in in in between a races, there is a tall probability of enmity in in in between a poorer as well as richer races. After 40 years of implementation, as well as abandoned of poignant success, do not we consider there is a critical complaint with a NEP as a tool to bridge a mercantile gap? Furthermore, a Malays, Chinese, as well as Indians have not been during any other's throats during this period. In fact, it is a statute coalition which regularly stokes ! secular fire. The race label has been played to a knob as well as it is now a misnomer for mercantile as well as social stability. we wish we had some-more conviction in us as well as a ability to co-exist.

Progress is hindered by fear. It is a fright of change, fright of any other, fright of betrayal, fright of riots, fright of secular tension as well as fright of so most alternative things which keep us from progressing. Amplifying a fears by attributing wrong causes to goods is not starting to assistance with republic building. we hold which a socio-economic divide can be closed by advantageous management of a economy, a universe category education system, observance of a rule of law, as well as nation-building policies. we ask which we use your influence to reject corruption, nepotism, as well as cronyism. This is a real complaint which undermines Malaysia as well as stifles the growth.
