	Bumiputra (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Bumiputra (translated literally, it means "princes of the Earth") is an official definition widely used in Malaysia, embracing ethnic Malays as well as other indigenous ethnic groups.
		It is generally considered that all Malays are bumiputra and that all bumiputras are Malay.
		Bumiputras are also traditionally charged less for purchases like houses or cars compared to those of other races in Malaysia.

		Bumiputra then turned to those who stood near and around him; a very sparse crowd at the back; two friends from two different parts of the kampong, they met, whispering under their breath, trying very hard not to smile at each other’s jokes.
		Moving away from the crowd, Bumiputra entered the mosque from one of the opened doors at the side of the building; right foot first, and then a short prayer; and he walked across the thick, lush yellow carpet and towards the left wing of the mosque where the small wooden room was attached to.
		Standing at the door, Bumiputra looked at the others who were also in the small room; there were about six or seven of them, mostly adult men in clean, white robes, they looked like operating-room surgeons if not for the heavy turbans and the long faces.

	The Hindu Business Line : Affirmative action: The Malaysian case
		The first was a simple policy of requiring enterprises to ensure that the ethnic composition of the workforce is as close as possible to the ethnic composition of the population.
		As for the second, in addition to insisting that public universities reserve 60 per cent of seats for the bumiputras, the State spent liberally and sent bumiputra scholars to leading universities in the United States, the UK and Australia.
		Even more pertinent is the critical view that the very success of the bumiputra has now created an economically and demographically minority community in Malaysia, the descendants of the Indian working class who slogged on the Malaysian plantations and contributed to the wealth of the British colonial masters as well as Malaysia in general.

	Fitch IBCA Ratings - Press Releases -Malaysia's Bank of Commerce On RatingAlert Neg; Bank Bumiputra's Ratings
		Bank Bumiputra's Individual rating of 'E' was affirmed by the agency, despite the bank's announcement that it was recapitalised by the Malaysian government.
		Bank Bumiputra Group's pre-tax loss of MYR 1.4 bln, announced today, was within the agency's expectations; the government's subsequent recapitalisation of the bank was necessary since its risk-weighted capital adequacy ratio of 6.5% at end-March 1998 was 1.5% below the central bank's minimum requirement.
		With regard to the announcement that Bank Bumiputra Malaysia and Commerce Asset Holdings are to merge, the agency said that this development could be negative for Bank of Commerce, depending on the charter of the merged entity and the amount of equity injected by the government.

	Ownership and Control of Malaysian Industry and Business Services:
		Bumiputra direct ownership in the 1993 was 6.3 percent, but the unit trusts, which were primarily designed to provide bumiputras with share ownership, accounted for another 17.6 percent bringing the bumiputra total to 23.9 percent in the 1993.
		However, if the favored bumiputras were to always realise their profits quickly by turning around and selling off the discounted shares that they had just received (an action engaged in by quite a number), then the 30 percent target of bumiputra ownership would be very difficult to achieve.
		Of course, the return of foreign capital is fundamentally conditional on the underlying social stability in Malaysia not being affected by the current Mahathir-Anwar political fight. Another long-run issue, which matches the importance of the foreign investors’ response, is the use of bailouts in the reflation.

		Under the agreement, Commerce Asset Holdings will acquire the commercial banking assets of Bank Bumiputra, after all non-performing loans are removed and transferred at face value to a unit of Danaharta, the government agency established to buy non-performing loans from commercial banks.
		Since the Government's direct ownership of Bumiputra Commerce Bank will be only about 30 percent, Fitch IBCA is of the opinion that this is much less likely to occur.
		Bumiputra Commerce Bank will, however, inherit some negative aspects of Bank Bumiputra such as its high cost structure and poor market image.

	AAR: Publication: Focus on South East Asia
		The Bumiputra policy was initially planned for a twenty year period, but will now be in place for at least forty years.
		The failure to reach the 30% target of Bumiputra equity holdings is due partly to the Asian economic crisis which saw foreigners boost their equity holdings at the expense of the Bumiputra.
		The government is expected to continue to push Bumiputra into tertiary and higher education so that their representation in all professions will reflect the population distribution (which is projected to be 68.3% Bumiputra by 2010).

	Malaysia: Bumiputra
		Bumiputra or Bumiputera (Sanskrit, translated literally, it means "sons of the Earth"; Malay, translated literally, it means "princes of the Earth"), is an official definition widely used in Malaysia, embracing ethnic Malays as well as other indigenous ethnic groups.
		In practice, however, the term Bumiputra was probably created to address collectively the group described in article 153 of the Malaysian Constitution.
		Bumiputra privileges and quotas are based on article 153 of the constitution which states that : 'It shall be the responsibility of the Yang di Pertuan Agong to safeguard the special position of the Malays and the legitimate interests of other communities in accordance with the provisions of this Article'.

		However, there seem to be a conspiracy where Bumiputra's investment banking group, CIMB claimed that Goldman Sachs, may have broken Malaysian law by coming out with a supposedly unauthorised valuation of SBB as a business.
		Accd to a 1998 source (I know it is pretty old news), Bumiputra has been bailed out by the government 3 times totalling up to 2.6bn ringgit.

		•the target of 30% equity share for bumiputras had been achieved by the end of the 20-year NEP in 1990, if the Malays had not sold off their share ownerships from bumiputra quotas for quick capital gain and shares held by nominee companies which were mainly bumiputra interests had been taken into consideration.
		As there is dispute about the different methodologies used by EPU and CPPS in their different studies, the controversy should be resolved in an intellectual and professional manner with the publication of the methodology used by each and not on who has the louder voice and bigger muscle.
		What’s wrong with the Bumiputras to the extent that they still need crutches(now with auto drive)to succeed?The majority of non malays had nothing too but with sheer hard work,determination,dedication and integrity with lots of sacrifice have been able to earn an honest living.There were no handouts,no special treatment or crutches for that matter.

		Similarly, how would large numbers of non-bumiputra students going overseas to pursue their studies be adversely affecting the bumiputra students? If it would not, then why should UMNO be so concerned as to launch a grand survey to take count of the racial composition of oversea Malaysian students?
		What is the logic of this UMNO move? Is it motivated by the desire to upgrade the academic level of Malays? Or is it to satiate its racial ego thereby enhancing its political support among the Malays? The answers to these questions are obvious.
		Is UMNO concerned with this brain drain and brain loss? From its latest manoeuvre, UMNO seems to be more interested in racial figures than either brain drain to this Country or the academic progress of the bumiputras.

		Desmond Ong, a banker with Bumiputra Commerce, said it's much easier for Bumiputra companies to qualify for loans under the Bumiputra special financial assistance schemes.
		"Although the government has suddenly woken up to the fact that Bumiputra companies have so far taken advantage of such facilities, they are also realizing the benefits of supporting locally run companies that are not run by indigenous Malays.
