This was mooted by its assistant chief editor Zaini Hassan in an article entitled ‘Ayuh berjihadlah orang Melayu, kuasai ekonomi!’ (Malays, let’s have a crusade to control the economy) published today in his column Cuit.
“If they, who have controlled the economy, want to control politics, too, what’s wrong if we, who still control politics, also control the economy.
“If they made a surprise checkmate to us in the 13th general election, we will give them a taste of their own medicine.
“We will also control the economy to surprise them. Create more small and medium Malay businessmen - retailers and wholesellers - and Malay bumiputera millionaires. Change the areas of Malay poor into more comfortable, happier, richer and ultimately luxurious areas,” he wrote.
Zaini, who is well-known for his Malay-centric articles, cited various examples to show that many economic sectors are dominated by the Chinese.
I also typed this Cuit (column) using a Blackberry.
But the question is, who sells them?
How many percent of Malays get profits from selling handphones?
“Don’t say handphones, it is difficult to even find Malay sellers of handphone holsters.”
He argued that fairness and equality would only be achieved when the Malays manage to compete with the other ethnic communities in all the economic sectors.
“Where there is a Chinese grocery store, there must be a Malay grocery store.
Where there is a Chinese hardware shop, there must be a Malay hardware shop.
“Where there is a Mamak stall, there must be a Malay eatery. Where there is a Chinese optical shop, there must be a Malay spectacle shop and so on. “
Unfortunately now it is unfair to the extent that we need to buy shrouds for Malay Muslims from stores owned by the Chinese.
Fortunately now we have Mydin stores. Even though its name is Mydin, where are the names like Awang, Dollah or Mamat?”
Zaini urged various quarters including Malay tycoons namely Azman Hashim and Syed Mokhtar Al-Bukhary, Malay companies, government-linked companies, banks led by the Malays, Malay NGOs, and the alumni of Universiti Teknologi Mara to help the Malays in launching the economic crusade. “Let's fill our entrepreneurs in all big business outlets in the capital.
Do we know that Chinese youths control the retail business of electronics in Pudu Plaza and Low Yat because they are helped by their own people.
“Their tycoons help them. They don’t need the government,” he claimed.
He said the Malays should not be just the buyers and observers of branded brands like LV, Hermes, Maison Martin Margiela and Birkin but also the shop owners, licensees and sellers.
“Surprised why Johor Premium Outlets is not owned by the Malays?
Surprised why the shops in Suria KLCC are not owned by us? Not to say in Pavillion, One Utama, or Bangsar Shopping Centre and others?
“Are we different from them? Are we slackers compared to them?
Are we going to be window-shoppers who can only watch and but cannot afford to buy forever? Sad, sad.
“Let us not be observers any more, let us not be buyers any more, let us not be bullied any more,” he pleaded.
