SHAH ALAM: It is impossible to achieve absolute
equality in all sectors across all races in Malaysia, said former deputy prime
minister Tun Musa Hitam.
Musa
said he did not agree with the opinion that Malays were still far behind in the
economic sector as Malays could now be considered successful by any yardstick
compared with the past.
"We
have achieved success. No one can say that we are not successful by any
yardstick, but with the open system we now have, this is always being
questioned.
"I
don't agree with the sentiment that the economy of Malays is threatened and
will collapse (without government assistance).
"Can
it survive? Yes? Can it grow stronger? Yes, it can. Are the Malays far behind
(compared with others)? Yes, there is still a lot to be done, but it depends on
what sector.
"There
are sectors in which we are far ahead, there are those we are far behind,"
he said in adialogue on the economic survival of Malays, here, yesterday.
