KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 10 — The government will give priority to Malays in whatever programme it carries out, assures Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.
Muhyiddin said he was giving the assurance following a misunderstanding after the government’s announcement on the liberalisation of 27 service sub-sectors to woo foreign investment to the country.
He said the government would continue efforts to increase Malays’ participation in the country’s economic activities.
“Their involvement is only 18 or 19 per cent so far. Hence, in whatever the government does, Malays will be given priority.
“We realise measures taken so far are not effective enough to boost Malay participation in the country’s economic pie. I feel efforts will have to be continued to increase their involvement,” he said when opening the annual general meeting of the Malaysian Malay Entrepreneurs and Merchants’ Association (PERDASAMA).
“In ensuring equitable and fair distribution of the country’s economic pie, the government will continue to take measures to ensure the nation’s economic cake does not only expand but also open up new opportunities to both Malays and non-Malays,” he added. – Bernama

************************************
Najib's 1 Malaysia is a scheme that jeopardizes Malays' rights! Malays rights should not be shared with others.
Najib pengkhianat Malayu.
Najib tries to sell Malays rights to gain supports from orang bukan Melayu, Najib's wife sang to raise fund for Chinese schools, Najib took part in non-Islam celebration.
Najib should not have attended Hindu carnival, Najib tak Islam.
(One wonders, why all those accusations laid upon Pakatan by UMNO and Utusan fit so well on Najib, as if they are taylor-made for him)

I'm totally shocked by this DPM's comment. No wonder the non-bumiputeras are pissed off with Umno.
Can't blame them, can we my Malay brother Muhyiddin?

That is beside being busy mismanaging the economy and using the national budget to busily apportion contracts to squabbling UMNO leaders.
Now to cover up the effect of indifference to the people interest UMNO wants to distract attention by creating racial tensions?

Apa maksud 1Malaysia?? Tak malu "Cakap Tak Serupa Bikin"
Macam mana hendak menentu sesiapa itu "Melayu"? Adakah orang Indonesia atau Pakistan itu orang Melayu selepas menentap di Malaysia?? Kita tahu apa yg dimainkan oleh B-End.

So Muhdy man....care to explain define and explain the meaning of '1 Malaysia' - you are making everyone confused. Perhaps you've forgotten that race based politics is no longer applicable anymore and that Malaysia consist of many races.....
Whatever it is, it's very obvious to all that you are the main racist culprit.
