Hadi believes that after 38 years, more strength is required

The PAS president believes that the time is not yet right because the Malay community is strong enough to face economic challenges.

“What was proposed before has not been achieved yet. We want equality for all races but at the same time, the Bumiputeras must be given the strength,” he told reporters in parliament today.

Hadi also stressed that the community is still at a disadvantage because they lack infrastructural facilities which in turn narrows education opportunities.

“Because they are still left behind not only in experience but also economy and education. We have to realise that rural towns still lack the facilities and they have not yet been given the chance to catch up to the development enjoyed by other communities staying in urban areas,” he added.

Assisted since 1971 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malaysian_New_Economic_Policy), are you telling me there is still need for more? Wow.

I love this statement the best: "We want equality for all races but at the same time, the Bumiputeras must be given the strength". Because clearly, the rest don't need to be strong, the rest pay less taxes, the rest need to be second class.

Freaking amazing. I wonder if the opposition can even manage a "1 Malaysia", to be honest.
