According to that report:
The independent Pasir Mas MP said the prime minister will also accept the resolutions of the congress which among others, will address the concerns of Bumiputera businesses under his neo-liberal New Economic Model (NEM).
Najib’s attendance will be made just a few weeks ahead of the much anticipated full NEM report release under the 10th Malaysia Plan.
The new model aims to open up the market from the Bumiputera quota system which economists say is much to blame for nation’s ailing economy.
The MPM is an umbrella group of some 80 organisations pressing for Najib to stick to Malay rights that they feel are guaranteed under the Federal Constitution. The prime minister has said those rights will not be affected by the NEM which aims for a high-income nation.
More to follow
Well, this is certainly a very interesting development. Let us not forget that Perkasa was founded by independent Pasir Mas, MP Datuk Ibrahim Ali, to ensure that Malay rights are not sidelined in an NEM which promotes meritocracy and free markets. The NGO claims to have attracted thousands of members, though largely from Umno.
An earlier report by Shazwan Mustafa Kamal said that Perkasa's economic bureau chief, Dr Zubir Harun noted the Malays would still require help from the government under the NEM to ensure their success. Perkasa intends to send a list of proposed amendments and considerations for the NEM to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak at the end of this month. It was reported then that Perkasa was putting pressure on the Najib administration to include affirmative action in the New Economic Model (NEM), in the form of a “blue ocean strategy” for Malays, to even out the economic disparity between them and other races.
So what's cooking in the cauldron of complex conundrums in the form of a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. HIDE kind of symbiotic relationship?
I don't know about you but I am quite tired of sandiwara or modern comedic tragedies. Let's hope our MPs will respond accordingly to whatever is dished out in the near future.
What's up, pussy cat? Well, we know that Perkasa and Datuk Ibrahim Ali are no pussy cats! In another report by Malaysiakini HERE which was posted at 3.54pm, Datuk Ibrahim Ali 'suggested that the parliamentary immunity in the Dewan Rakyat to be revoked so that all elected representatives will be more responsible in their speeches especially when making accusations against others. This statement was made in response to accusations by opposition MP Saifuddin Nasution (Machang) that he owned shares in gambling business. The report said that Ibrahim sent a legal letter to Saifuddin yesterday asking him to withdraw the accusations made in Parliament or face a legal action.
With such developments, pne can speculate and wonder while others may already know what's in the pipeline. CLICK HERE to enjoy Tom Jones' rendition of WHAT'S UP, PUSSY CAT?
