Fighting for Malay supremacy doesn’t tackle real Malay problems

At a recent forum on the lack of old-age security in Malaysia, a representative of the Employees Provident Fund did not mince words when she said the future for many private sector retirees looked bleak, based on the savings they held with the fund.

She said she felt like weeping when looking at the figures, fearing a serious crisis ahead with Malaysia’s population ageing at a rate outpacing retirement savings.

The figures showed the group most affected by a lack of savings was the low-earning Bumiputera community.

Bumiputeras aged 55 and below comprise 65% of the EPF’s 15.8 million members. But they contributed just 40% of the RM930 billion in total savings that the fund held in this category prior to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Tun M, nothing wrong by being truthful about one’s own race

IN his maiden speech in Kelantan following his crossover to the ‘green’ side, former twice premier Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad played on the racial card by calling others as ‘guests’ to this land which he claimed to belong only to the Malays.

It makes one wonder why he was adorning a green PAS vest, and was he merely trying to hide his Indian roots?

Before turning ‘green’, in fact, the former Langkawi MP is one colourful man, having adorned various shades of red (UMNO, Pakatan Harapan and Bersatu) and blue (Barisan Nasional, Perikatan Nasional and Pejuang).

Well, this may explain the reason why he lost the deposit in the last general election.  In branding terminology, this is what you call brand confusion – people are confused with the brand that he represents.
