Perhaps, after years of conditioning by their grand old master, who knows best in everything, and cannot go wrong in anything, Umno has a tendency to blame their failures in uplifting Malays' competitiveness on everyone else, mainly the Chinese, if not, why not Anwar?
Malaysia had been and is still under Umno's continuous control since independence in 1957 (other than the change to Umno Baru, for pragmatic reasons or to suit Dr Mahathir then, but continues to use the same name), yet the Chinese are being blamed for their so-called lack of equity holdings and business participation. There is no mention of the billions which had been siphoned away by Umnoputras over the years, which was a result of Umno abusing the NEP for their own benefit.
Dr. Bridget Welsh believes that there is a good reason why politicians want the people to be poor so that they can be bought during elections.
Anyway, it is unbelievable that Umno continues to use the Chinese as scapegoats, even for BN's poorer performance in GE13.
If even Dr Mahathir (despite 22 years of almost dictatorial control), had declared recently that he does not think meritocracy is good for the nation, then continue with your defeatist attitude and get rid of all kinds of competition with the powers in your hands.
A selection of comments in Malaysiakini, in response to Deputy Finance Minister's statement: 'Only 15 pct of shops in Klang Valley are bumi-owned':
Seriously, when will Umno stop blaming the Chinese?
