Letter to Tun Dr. Mahathir bin Mohamad

Dear Tun Dr . Mahathir

I want to raise the issue of your personal agenda for UMNO. There is a number of agenda that you have been champaigning in your blog, chedet.com First, you said we need a strong government to deal with our multi racial community. This strong government , presumably is a strong UMN0 with the Ketuanan Melayu agenda. Secondly you argued that we need to retain the 30% bumiputera equity in malaysia.

I as the citizen of Malaysia cannot tolerate the first agenda by UMNO about Ketuanan Melayu. Its something that cannot be denied that Malays is the majority ethnic in Malaysia. Malays hold most positions in government minsterial , public service like immigration, national registration, police force, army, national posts, water supply, telekom, petronas, palm oil, FELDA , operations of Ports, Malaysian Airlines, etc. That is all aspects of malaysian life have got Malay's participation. You mentioned business sector that need more bumiputera participation. But you must understand to start up a business, you need creativity and risks taking attitude. Its difficult for government to instil such entrepreneur skills to bumiputera , the best they can do is through education. So far, through regulation such as NEP have not bring the bumiputera equity close to 30% ( under impression that i believe that not-closed percentage ), do you believe NEP will ever meet its target?

I am fed-up with the racists attitude shown by UMNO politicians and their basic agenda to instil fear among non-bumiputera that if they fight for their rights as stated in the Constitution, they will have bloody backlash from Malays. That is totally unacceptable.

Nonetheless, i support your vision 2020 and hope all Malaysian can strive to achieve it.

Yours sincerely

Will
