I’m not sure if you’re Malaysian, but regardless, equality and equity are not the same thing, which has been completely ignored by this guy.

Is there an inequity issue still? I don’t know, but it hasn’t been addressed.

Cope argument. Bumi myself, I know plenty of other Bumis from privileged backgrounds getting opportunities despite having lesser credentials.

But do they have privileged backgrounds because they’re Bumi, or because of something else?

That’s the inequity the systems originally tried to address.

Actually if you’re a Malaysian you will know what he mean and why it’s not about equity at all. The allocation did not based on household income/poverty index but purely on race, as the selection is 90% Bumiputera(Malay and indigenous people) while 10% for other race.

No.

“Household income/poverty index” has nothing (directly) to do with this.

You skipped over the WHY is it purely in race?

Bumi programs were created to address racial inequity.

So, it seems both OP and you don’t understand its purpose.

And like I said, I don’t know if it’s still needed, based on what little I’ve read so far.
