Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad. — AFP picKUALA LUMPUR,
Oct 19 — The abundance of opportunities in the form of scholarships, business prospects and quotas specifically for Bumiputera have gone to waste as the country’s dominant community does not have the drive to develop them, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad lamented.
The influential former prime minister said while he sympathised with the limitations and the problems faced, these should not stop the Bumiputera from succeeding.
“Most of the opportunities go to waste because Bumiputera do not have the drive to run them into something more.
“We take time to criticise the government and others, but usually fail to dig deeper into ourselves and come to terms with our own weaknesses,” he said during his keynote address at the “Wacana Memperkasa Ekonomi Melayu” yesterday.
The author of The Malay Dilemma that bore a similar tone, Dr Mahathir also said that Bumiputera usually act “based on emotions, and not fact”.
“It is very easy to play the blame game, but it would be better to succeed on your own efforts.”
The 88-year-old veteran politician, however, said it was unfair to say that Bumiputera had not succeeded despite 56 years on the country’s independence.
“This inner strength [of successful Bumiputera needs to be emulated by other Bumiputera so than we can achieve a developed nation status.
“It is also unfair to say that Bumiputera lack quality because we have move forward in so many ways and in all these years, Malaysia has been governed by Bumiputera leaders,” he said.
His comments came as the Umno divisional delegates meeting and election of leaders at the divisional and Supreme Council levels began simultaneously in all the 191 divisions at 8am today.
This is the first time that grassroots members are given a bigger voice in the Umno election following the amendment to the party constitution in 2009 to make the party more transparent, democratic as well as eliminate money politics.

Dear brother and sister,
ReplyDeleteI am Myanmar who working in Malaysia more than 10 years and I would like to explain about SAMNAK SAMBODHI BUDDHIST ASSOCIATION. Therefore, recently I stayed at SASANARAKKHA BUDDHIST SANCTUARY (SBS), Taiping, Perak. I am very close with Ven. U Nandiya Maha Thero.
My monk Ven. U Nandiya is very good heart and compassion to everyone in the world, also I heard when he stayed at Kuala Lumpur Buddhist Temple, he lends donation money to President of Temple (DATUK YIP KUM FOOK, MCA Gombak) with amount RM20,000.00 only and he said that money belong to Myanmar society in Malaysia.
On the other hand, my monk said, also many things happened when he stayed there because committees always disturbing, I am very sadly about that matter, why committees are very poor and crooks. Others Temple, people come to Temple to respected Buddha and Monks, also give red packet to monks. Why this Temple, monks must give money to committees, this is opposite.
If anyone receive or read this message, please inform to DATUK YIP KUM FOOK (president of Temple) to return that amount to my monk as soon as possible.

Anyone visiting this Buddhist Temple must be careful with the committee members as they can suck your money and the president of the Temple is also more sucking monks’ money already, add and call the police to arrest Buddhist monks….
