MB hits out at opposition for equating bumiputera policy with apartheid
..Dr Boo, in his adjournment speech, said there were some politicians in the country who still believed the concept of bumiputera gave them absolute priority in obtaining government assistance.
He also equated the bumiputera policy with apartheid to describe his disappointment over the higher interest rate on loans from the Johor Fund obtained by non-bumiputera investors.
Such an economic policy was not an affirmative act based on the sosio-economic status of the loan borrowers, but apartheid as it was based on racial politics where assistance was given to the dominant group he added.
