" laud the various measures of economic reform" of Najib - I do not think so.

There are some that " laud the various measures of economic reform announced lately by the Government...." led by Prime Minister, Mohd Najib Razak....

Happy we may be about the removal of that 'bumiputra quota' - we may have to look more closely at what the government did?

Liberalization - what does that mean? Is it good for the Malaysian people...

Free Trade .... Liberalization are good news for the rich in business - but for the small and medium sized businesses, and Malaysians generally it spells 'DANGER'..

What Najib did was really was to stop pretending - he was only openly declaring what Malaysia was already obligated to do after it signed (without any consulation with the Malaysian people) the World Trade Organization(WTO) Agreements, and the other Free Trade agreements. Preferential treatment to the Bumiputra...or even Malaysians was signed away many years ago by our UMNO-led BN government...

Go read about the WTO, the Free Trade Agreements, Liberalization, Free Trade...etc, and its impact on local citizenry...especially the poorer persons and sectors...

Sadly, our local media do not do its job to educate us about the 'other side' arguements about things done and not done. We only seem to get the views that the government wanits us to know...not the full truth...
