八点最热报 | 土著经济大会后，一些有心人就继续炒作，非马来富商的人数比马来富商多，说明政府需要继续扶持马来企业家。富有的马来政治人物多，这是一般的刻板观感，还是事实呢？新经济政策实施的这几十年来，为什么大部分马来人依然贫穷，是因为政府扶助马来人的资源，都流进了马来政治人物的口袋吗？（主播：梁宝仪）

00:00 Before watching the video, I remind you that there is more content on the Hotline.
00:04 After the land registration economic conference, some "friendly" people continue to hype that the number of non-Malays rich businessmen is more than the number of Malaysian rich businessmen.
00:12 This shows that the government needs to continue to support Malaysian entrepreneurs.
00:15 But the former Minister of Communications and the former Chief of Sabah, Salih Saiyid, pointed out that this comparison is not realistic at all.
00:22 Because in fact, although there are few rich Malaysian businessmen, there are a lot of Malaysian politicians.
00:29 So what everyone should pay attention to is this phenomenon.
00:32 There are many rich Malaysian politicians. Is this a general stereotype or a fact?
00:38 Why have most Malaysians been poor in the past decades since the implementation of the new economic policy?
00:44 Is it because the government has kept the resources of the Malaysians in the pockets of Malaysian politicians?
00:51 Asmi Hassan, a senior political scientist, said during an interview with the "Eight O'Clock Daily" that the key reason why the new economic policy could not reach the goal set earlier was that
01:02 in the era of the unregulated rule of law, some politicians used their own power to make the rich self-rich, depriving most Malaysians of their opportunities.
01:11 Therefore, the welfare policy for more than 60 years has fattened the Malaysian elite and the ruling party, but it has made the majority of Malaysians poor.
01:21 Asmi Hassan, a member of the Brazilian National Assembly, also mentioned that it is wrong to blame the poor Malaysians for the problems of the Malaysians.
01:31 Under the new economic policy, after so many years of various policies to assist the Malays, the Malays still cannot occupy the main position in the economy.
01:41 This has nothing to do with non-Malays, it is the implementation of the policy that has not been carried out in place.
01:47 As for the Malaysian politicians mentioned in the "Saleh" competition, they are all very rich and the Malaysian politicians are very rich.
01:53 Asmi Hassan Kallin, a member of the Brazilian National Assembly, did not agree, and even complained that he was also a Malaysian politician, but he was not rich at all.
02:03 Very few ordinary Malays politicians also suffer. Not rich.
02:08 The Malaysian politicians are also very poor.
02:10 I am a lawyer. All the submissions must be supported by evidence, data or facts.
02:16 From the articles, I don't see any facts to support his claim or his argument.
02:21 So it is very difficult for me to endorse his opinion, whether objective or subjective.
02:27 The Brazilian National Assembly member Hassan Kallin emphasized during an interview that only a few Malays are rich.
02:34 Asmi Hassan, a political scholar at the University of Kuala Lumpur, also maintained his opinion about the "Saleh" competition.
02:39 He believes that there are not many rich Malays, which is just a general impression or even a misunderstanding.
02:45 The perception is that most of the politicians are corrupt, or maybe they are not corrupt, but they enrich themselves via their political appointments.
02:55 There are only a few, only a handpick of politicians that misuse their power to enrich themselves.
03:02 Not many of them are like Tundayen, a rich politician.
03:06 We only hear things, hear things that this politician is very rich, but we cannot prove that. That is a misconception.
03:12 Both of the submissions do not agree that the number of wealthy Malays is higher than the number of non-Malays.
03:18 Hassan Kallin emphasized that the number of wealthy Malays is not as high as the number of non-Malays.
03:23 Many Malays are also very poor.
03:25 But this has nothing to do with non-Malays.
03:27 It is not that non-Malays have taken away the opportunities of Malays.
03:31 Malay poor become poor backward, not because of the non-Malay problem.
03:36 No, it is about the policy of the government.
03:38 I'm in the government more than 60 years, helping the Malay with all the affirmative action, all the Malay agenda.
03:45 So the question is how the Malays still poor.
03:48 Hassan Kallin emphasized that the government has implemented a series of measures in the past 60 years, including new economic policies to support Malays.
03:55 But the Malays today are still poor.
03:58 This is a policy issue.
04:00 Don't keep pointing the finger at non-Malays.
04:03 Hassan Kallin also agreed that politicians and elites have monopolized all government projects.
04:09 They have fattened their own party, but they have excluded most of the Malays in the middle and low classes.
04:14 I think the politicians use that particular advantage to enrich themselves.
04:20 I think that's one of the reasons why the 30% benchmark has not reached.
04:24 Because few politicians misuse the leverage, misuse the quota that have been accorded to the Bumi Putra.
04:31 The legacy of the UMNO from the last generation, the legacy.
04:36 People's elite in power, they hijack this noble objective to enrich themselves.
04:42 And benefit not only the Malays, certain group of Malays politicians, but certain group of economic elite from non-Malay, either Chinese or Indian.
04:51 Very few, close to them.
04:53 Hassan Kallin mentioned that the new economic policy set the goal of eliminating poverty and breaking the phenomenon of specific ethnic groups occupying a certain area.
05:06 In this multicultural society, this is actually good.
05:09 But it is because of the long-term governance of the UMNO over the years, some Malays have established their own interest-transfer network.
05:16 In order to benefit themselves and their party, they have hijacked the original concept and goal of the new economic policy.
05:22 Therefore, what the United Nations government should do now is not to distinguish between the rich and the poor from the perspective of the ethnic group.
05:28 The poverty alleviation policy should be to help those who really need help regardless of race.
05:34 The more poor Malays, the more they will be subsidized.
