WHILE some netizens have praised Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad for his eye-opening revelation of the fact that Malays no longer own much land in the country, others have chastised him for insinuating that the Malays had sold their land at low prices to foreign immigrants (i.e., the Chinese and Indians).
“In (the then) Malaya, there are no restrictions on anyone in land ownership. After becoming rich, a lot of land was bought by the immigrant tribes and their descendants,” penned the two-time former premier in his latest Facebook post.
“Selling land is a source of income for Malays. Land, if not sold will remain forever. But if sold, the money found does not last. Money will run out when spent. So when the land is sold and the money found is spent, the seller of the land will be poorer. Then there is nothing else to be sold apart from the body strength.”
