This is wrong...
There is a campaign going on on social media by a small group to boycott non-bumiputra products and to buy bumiputra goods. Salahuddin, who is Pulai MP, said Muslim consumers should not think in this way and should consider the effects of the boycott on the country and people. "As the minister , I always encourage the people to plant fruits and vegetables. There are Chinese planting durians, there are also Malays planting durians. There are also Indians planting vegetables and some Indians have big farms breeding cows and goats as well.
"There will be no winners with the boycott if each race started boycotting each other's products, what will happen to the country then," he said. - Bernama
