From Moaz Nair
Malays do not need to be under a “big umbrella” to achieve economic progress in the country. Only hard work, honesty and a positive mindset pay.
Times have changed and former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s big umbrella non-political concept, as he defined it, to unite the Malays is nothing more than a hidden political agenda criticised by the Malay political leaders themselves.
Malays are already well represented at all levels of the country’s administration since the country’s independence.
