: The affirmative action taken by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s administration to protect Bumiputera interests is a positive step, according to Indonesia’s former Economic Minister Chairul Tanjung.
“We are requesting proportionality; we are not asking for more than what is proportionate to what we have . In Indonesia, 85 per cent of the population is Muslim. Therefore, we are merely asking for an 85 per cent slice of the economy. “We agreed that government-to-government cooperation is important, as is people-to-people cooperation, where civil society organisations in both countries should build good relationships.
Under Anwar’s administration, Bumiputera’s participation in key sectors of the economy has been strengthened, especially in government procurement, business development, and higher education. Meanwhile, Chairul, who earlier delivered a keynote address on the rise of Asian Tigers in the Nusantara region, said it was perplexing that Muslims in the region had not dominated the economy while the group makes up 42 per cent of the Southeast Asia population and 25 per cent of the world’s Muslim population.He noted that there are many factors to blame, among which are the lack of access to education in most parts of the region and the disunification among the Muslims themselves.
