	Why are there so few successful bumiputera contractors?
		Although there are lots of bumiputera engineers and many universities are increasing the number of engineers who qualify every year, without a sufficiently skilled work force, all the engineers in the world would not be able to complete a single project.
		Without skilled bumiputera workers, it would be more difficult for bumiputera contractors to succeed.
		He said that bumiputeras should emulate the Chinese entrepreneurs who set long-term goals, and combined them with hard work to sustain their businesses over generations.

	Transformation: Malaysia
		The government justified the affirmative action on the basis that the economic gap between the bumiputera and the non-bumiputera were so wide that it threatened national security and racial harmony.
		In 1991, NEP ended and economic policies since then retained the core character of the NEP: special rights for the bumiputera and rapid economic growth to ensure that all ethnic groups received their share of the economic pie.
		The state-defined and state-enforced social divide between the bumiputera and the non-bumiputera remains the cornerstone of ethnic relations in Malaysia.

		It was the assumption of the Malay elites in Kuala Lumpur that the Borneo indigenes would coalesce with the Malays into a broader identity group, dubbed ‘bumiputera’ (literally Sons of the Soil), which would act as a counter-balance to the Chinese economic dominance.
		While non-Muslim bumiputera were nominally entitled to the benefits of the NEP, their receipt of local development funds was in practice largely contingent on conversion to Islam, seen by the state as an important step towards assimilation into a broader Malay (rather than bumiputera) identity.
		Non-Muslim bumiputera have become marginalized minorities within a nominal majority, lacking the benefits to which they are supposedly entitled, but also lacking the political capacity to mobilize in their defence.

	Enough of bumiputera bashing
		Likewise, as an academically successful bumiputera myself, non-bumis would not want me to cite my personal experiences competing against non-bumis and use that as a basis to claim bumi superiority.
		For all non-bumis who like to complain about government policies, and for all international (non-Malaysian) readers who have developed a mentality that non-bumis are in a ‘living hell’, I wish to remind you that approximately every five years, we have a general election.
		In fact, in 1999, when the bumiputera votes were so divided, the non-bumis had the chance of a lifetime - if they wanted it - to select a totally new government.

		'Bumiputera' (literally 'son of the soil') is a legal term meaning that the state recognizes the indigenous status of the citzen.
		Under the Constitution, a bumiputera is entitled to 'special rights', meaning that the government may make special provisions to protect the economic, social and cultural interests of the bumiputera.
		The argument was that the wealth gap, between the Malay and the Chinese would lead to political instability, especially in light of the riots between Chinese and Malays in the capital Kuala Lumpur of 13 May 1969, after the mainly Chinese opposition made impressive gains at the general elections.

	‘Bumiputera-ism’ and Islam Hadhari
		If the fundamental criterion for being a bumiputera is religion, then there is no reason why Indian Muslims should not be classified as bumiputera.
		Defenders of ‘bumiputra-ism’ may simply or arbitrarily assert that to be a bumiputera, one must be both a Malay and a Muslim.
		Moreover, to divide Muslims into bumiputera and non-bumiputera according to race is anti-Islamic because Islam condemns ethnic chauvinism and discrimination within the ‘ummah’ or the universal community of Muslims.

		In professional occupations such as engineers, doctors and accountants, Bumiputera are still under-represented relative to their share of the population despite the efforts made to increase the output of Bumiputera graduates from the universities and colleges.
		In particular, the Bumiputera are still far behind the other races in business, especially in the commercial and industrial activities which, with the emphasis on industrialisation, constitute the growth sectors of the economy.
		The main emphasis in strengthening and enlarging Bumiputera participation in the modern sectors of the economy will therefore be on increasing their skills in management and entrepreneurship as these skills are the real asset of a nation.

		As a result of these factors, major Bumiputera controlled companies were left vulnerable to fluctuations in the financial environment, such as falling share prices and ring interest rates, and felt the impact of the Asian currency crisis very keenly.
		Part of the background to why the Bumiputera controlled companies have found themselves facing these problems is in the privatization policies that were pursued in the '90s, in order to foster the growth of Bumiputera controlled companies, and the rapid growth of the financial system that lent support to the initiative.
		However, privatization was pursued selectively, along the lines of the Bumiputera policy, so that the newly privatized Bumiputera controlled companies were strongly characterized by their conflict with market mechanisms and their lack of international competitiveness.

	Bloomberg.com: Opinion
		The rationale for the 30 percent target was to remove a root cause of social strife by ending the concentration of wealth in the hands of non-Malays -- especially, the ethnic Chinese -- who in 1970 owned 96 percent of the Southeast Asian nation's economy.
		And that would be a pity, not only because a good academic can't freely air views he believes to be true but also because the brouhaha about whether Bumiputera corporate equity is 19 percent or 45 percent -- or somewhere in between -- is irrelevant to the more pertinent issue raised by the study.
		Taking on a Bumiputera partner or sub-contractor who brings nothing else to the table is a cost to a foreign investor.

	Frontpage NST 12-10-2006: Bumiputera equity controversy: Asli man quits in protest »
		Now, the Constitution has enshrined the need for a special recognition for the Bumiputera in the land of Malaysia, so yes besides affirmative policies to eradicate poverty to the poor regardless of race, special attention should be considered that there are extra scholarships and trainings be given to the Bumiputera.
		This is an opportune time for the Bumiputera as well as the non Bumiputera to relook at the NEP policy so that we are no longer fooled to think that NEP has been successful.
		And the Bumiputera will be pacified if a good reasoning is made that their welfare will be looked after even more when NEP is abolished as it is not important to have 30% equity ownership (or has that already been achieved?).

		He said yesterday that while the government would continue to help the Bumiputera community, Bumiputera businessmen should not think that they would have that millionaire status handed to them on a silver platter.
		In this respect, Taib said the Bumiputera businessmen should realise that their success in their undertakings depended on themselves - whether they had the will, the discipline and the knowledge, and whether they were willing to make sacrifices and work hard.
		Where the State government was concerned, he said the State's assistance for the Bumiputera business community was never meant to isolate themselves from the non-Bumiputeras because of the difference in the level of capital and even experience.

		However, the sincerity to implement the policy on Sabah Bumiputera minorities was still questionable as the community was being perceived as not capable to deliver which does not look attractive to the implementators.
