It really affects a lot of good businesses that any Malaysian would WANT to have in Malaysia.<br /><br />Just one example from my own case. I'm a professional English teacher from one of the native-speaker-English countries (mat salleh lands), married to a Malaysian. After teaching at an excellent regional university for several years, I decided to start an English language centre here with my Malaysian hubbie as the local partner, as so many Malaysians were requesting to study English with me. A few months later, I am completely dismayed and outraged that because he is not a "bumiputera" we cannot together open a simple English center, when I am a fully-qualified English teacher and my husband is a Malaysian citizen of many generations. (This is MOE regulations for language centres--even a simple one. So now you know that even to teach English or Japanese as a language centre you need a bumiputera partner!) I have to go find a bumiputera and make them a director and pay them for doing nothing--just so I can teach English! And this is when many Malaysians are DESPERATE for good English instruction! It just makes no sense to me.<br /><br />I know this way of doing things is not a shock to Malaysians, who are used to this concept. But really, any foreign professional in this situation thinks "What the hell is this?" and wants to go to back to a country where they are allowed to practice their business simply with a local partner, regardless of that partner's "race".<br /><br />This mandatory partner thing must have deprived the nation of far more than just my one language centre, for sure. There must have been MANY more entrepreneurial professional non-bumiputera couples, of all sorts of expertises, who were frustrated away from opening the business they wanted here, or who feared for their non-bumiputera children's futures in this kind of system, and sadly left town or didn't open shop. I really hope for the nation's sake that keeping that 30% has been worth it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28452020.post-72027522896655278132010-06-14T15:09:26.014+08:002010-06-14T15:09:26.014+08:00Anon 2:23 PM

Be thankful that I did not include the market cap of Apple in that equation!<br /><br />You talk bravely about foreign investors taking a hike and going off to more welcoming locations (Singapore included). Then, Sir, tell the govt to stop all it's costly investment promotion missions overseas. No need to bother, lah - Malaysia can do just fine with domestic-sourced pump priming and with a little help from Petronas!<br /><br />And, a minor point, if Singaporeans are running away from Singapore, then I see many more Malaysians running to Singapore every day in order to cari makan. How can like that? 50 years after Merdeka, must still export unskilled labour (like cleaners and gardeners from Sarawak, for example) to other countries.

No need to...For me<br />Another one thing,Datuk Rocky..<br /><br />No need to create a 10th Plan if there is nothing for the ordinary people like us.<br /><br />All that DS Najib should do is to maintain the previous policy that we have such as subsidy.<br /><br />Yes, the economy is seems like messy. If what Idris Jala said (either true or not) DS should look the statement and think about the pro and cons.<br /><br />There are lots of things that can be cut than give a full stop on our subsidy. Period. <br /><br />There things that we can think of such as:<br /><br />1. Cut the expenses on things like PLKN (take few batch every year) and anything tah related to it such as the arms training (save cost on bullets, allowance etc)<br /><br />2. Make sure all government cars are from National car- not Harrier, Toyota etc!. And make sure only the major department have it. (Can you imagine a small department in a University also have their own car. Sadly, the car is also used to go for having nasi lemak in the morning, out for lunch and going back to hometown.Guess who paid the tolls and petrol?)<br /><br />And this could be NICE if applies on our beloved Sultan & families. People will be more pleased to see the National car sign rather than a Bentley, Camaro etc.<br /><br />3. Cut the ceremony expenses- such as Merdeka Day, 1M etc. No need a lots of entertainment. Besides we are fasting on the Merdaka Day for the next few years.<br /><br />4. Cut the unwanted expenses such as having a seminar in luxury hotels. (government servant). Could be nice if doing it government building such as University hall. (Sadly enough to see them using tax payer's money to bring also their families with them)<br /><br />5. No need a trip to overseas if unnecessary.<br /><br />6. ... and OTHERS that could be think of to boost up money.Politics Stinksnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28452020.post-29403077862572733332010-06-14T11:50:31.905+08:002010-06-14T11:50:31.905+08:00Skilgannon1066 a.k.a skilmoron..

More so their response will be the usual and predictable cliches of 'social contract', 'amok' and other sound bytes of ketuananist ideology, thus ignoring the global economic reality that we are part of.<br /><br />but some do not like hearing bad news and prefer keeping their rose-tinted specs on. Idris Jala warned about our large deficits sending us to insolvency, although IMO his solution to cut subsidies was not the solution, there being more than 1 ways to skin the cat. What happened? He got slammed here and there from those unwilling to remove their heads from their arses and smell economic reality. A clear classic case of killing the messenger. So here we go on another spending spree for another parliament building and other whatnots.

Twice. As usu...The Skilganon whatever fellow again. Twice. As usual, nothing good about Malaysia. Haven't seen him say anything good about Malaysia at all, all this while.<br /><br />As usual, he is promoting Singapore. Trying to get foreign investors put money in Singapore. Through a Malaysian blog. What a fellow. <br /><br />This time he asked "how the 30% (Bumiputera corporate equity) target will be defined". Of course he'll say only Singapore knows how to count and has record keeping. Demented fellow. <br /><br />Of course "Perkasa and the Malay right will not be satisfied with a 30 per cent figure", man. The figure mentioned so far is only of corporate equity. Nothing is mentioned of other forms of wealth in Malaysia. Don't ever think the Malays are still ignorant and will easily be satisfied and that only the Chinese can ask for more, more and more. <br /><br />But then again, blokes like like you will quote the Malays in Singapore being satisfied with whatever they have. Or don't have. Remember boy, the Malays in Malaysia constitute the majority. If the non-Malays grudge even the 30%, the Malays will be emboldened to ask even 60%. <br /><br />The Malays have been a polite and good natured people. But when provoked, they will react. Sir Frank Swettenham who resided in Malaya for a total of 30 years as a Colonial Officer until becoming Governor General knows that fully. You should read what he wrote of the Malays. He quoted the word "amok". And that word has been adopted into the English language and exists in the Oxford dictionary to this day.<br /><br />Don't forget Article 153 of the Malayian Constitution which spells out the Special Position of the Malays. That which the British said had been there "since day one", which they acknowledged and respected since they first started contacts with Malaya. Read Hansard, the British Parliamentary records, on debates on the Malayan Indepenence Bill in the 1950s. That Special Position was reaffirmed in writing. In exchange for citizenship for the non-Malays. <br /><br />If the non-Malays grudge the Malay Special Position, the Malays can also grudge the non-Malay citizenship which could be consideed as the quid pro quo. It wont't be good for anybody. Of course a Singaporean bloke like you will clap your hands. Your purpose in writing in this blog may be to drive a wedge between the Malays and the non-Malays. If that is so, damn you.<br /><br />You can take the foreign investors to Singapore for all we care. In any case it is arguable how many would go there. There has been talk of a brain drain from Singapore long before from Malaysia. No brainy people can tolerate the lack of free speech and action in Singapore. The foreign investors will find a lack of brains there. The island city state has been ruled with an iron hand.<br /><br />You are talking through your arse comparing Malaysia with Silicon Valley. And irrelevantly mentioning Google and Microsoft having capital close to that of the entire Bursa Malaysia. What skewed thinking and a demented mind you are, boy. Such a great pity.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28452020.post-34909360888164449082010-06-12T13:14:41.994+08:002010-06-12T13:14:41.994+08:00The Malays cannot ask for more than 30% can they?The Malays cannot ask for more than 30% can they?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28452020.post-29689444722078295712010-06-12T13:10:44.023+08:002010-06-12T13:10:44.023+08:00testing, testing, testingtesting, testing, testingAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28452020.post-49219113569039005382010-06-12T12:28:44.283+08:002010-06-12T12:28:44.283+08:00thank god for Perkasa

Well, whatever the ...The magic 30 per cent figure!<br /><br />Well, whatever the merits of the case may be, one can safely say that Perkasa, Ibrahim Ali and others of their mindset have apparently little knowledge of how fickle and footloose foreign (and local) capital can be.<br /><br />You don't see a 30 per cent setaside in Silicon Valley start-ups now, do you? Like when Apple, Google and Microsoft first saw the light of day, their founders weren't forced to divest 30 per cent of their shares to the disadvantaged.<br /><br />Which is one reason why Google and Microsoft have a combined market cap close to that of the entire Bursa Malaysia.<br /><br />Any entrepreneur or startup will now look more closely at other countries for launching their ideas.<br /><br />And any Malaysian SME thinking of going for a public listing will be asking if it would be better to seek a listing on an stock exchange other than Bursa Malaysia.<br /><br />For those who espouse the 30 per cent target as the Holy Grail, be careful what you wish for.

Well done and kudos to Najib Tun Razak.<br /><br />The 10th Malaysia Plan consisted of 59 pages with 10,000 words and took 90 minutes to deliver, was another important milestone in prime minister Najib's administration, to define the specific economic agenda and core future goal in order to spur Malaysia into the final lap of a developed nation by 2020.<br /><br />The 10MP highlights demonstrated Najib's agenda for change and his vision to make the nation attainable to a high income economy.While we have big ideas to drive the nation, it is imperative that the mind set of the people will also have to change in line with the government's aspirations. The people's participation and consistent support will form the next engine of the inclusiveness of the socio-economic growth.The public sector through it's innovative and efficient delivery systems will ensure the success of the 10th Malaysia Plan.<br /><br />As the prime minister has concluded that if we believe in the supremacy of football, the nation needs to work as 1Malaysia team, "that is united in purpose and vision to achieve the best for Malaysia."
