This system actually benefits the non malays. They live in a meritocracy, so those who are competent can always get a well connected malay partner who knows nothing about the business. The competent malays have no connections, and are seen as a threat to well connected malays. So they have no chance to get government contracts, and no chance to get private sector contracts either, because the non malays will not do business with them.
A spot-on article. It is religion that is holding the malays back at the same time it is fear of being unislamic. Malays must educate themselves and stop depending on their ulamaks and madarasisor tafzirs for education. They must become critical thinkers and so be able to think for themselves.
If Malays have difficulties in getting the necessary licences and permits for their micro businesses, it would be many times more difficult for the non Malays! Not only that, a lot of business permits were either withdrawn or not extended, notably transport and commodities, financial and insurance, import of cars and certain other goods, and professional services/contract for Ministries and GLCs. Sickening as it is, this is apartheid to protect the majority in general and the political elites/robbers in particular. We will never progress with such damning discriminatory policies.

What you wrote is true. The ordinary Malays have nothing, only the well connected Malays benefit.
Thank you for that.
