Mahathir’s NEP has crippled Malays, says ex-MP Tawfik FMTNews
Dr Mahthir Mohamad was prime minister from 1981 to 2003, with Anwar Ibrahim as his deputy from 1993 to 1998.
Using a golf handicap as an analogy, Tawfik said the NEP was to encourage the Malays to strive towards one day demonstrating better proficiency and skills. He said Mahathir’s successful “indoctrination of dependence” is the main reason that Malays today think that they cannot succeed without help. While Anwar, now prime minister, currently promotes Islam and the concept of Malaysia Madani, he had failed to include the role of the sultans who are the constitutional heads of Islam in their states, said Tawfik.
