Najib: NEP designed for DESERVING bumiputras AND NON-BUMIPUTRAS

Najib, however, said that the New Economic Policy (NEP) was designed for deserving bumiputras and non-bumiputras and hoped that only deserving ones received help.

He said the NEP was to boost small-time businesses, those from the lower-income group and was not for those people who had already established their businesses.

Najib said Malaysia had come a long way in the last 50 years, and to obtain the status of Bangsa Malaysia, there was a need to “de-racialise” things by looking at the quality of a person’s personality rather than the skin colour.

“For example, the Government has been giving out JPA scholarships to more deserving non-bumiputras as we feel that non-deserving bumiputras that get help were wasting our money and time,” he said, adding that he believed if people followed that basis, then the concept of Bangsa Malaysia could be achieved.
