Advocates of the New Economic Policy (NEP) should spend time responding and addressing the concerns of the Malay masses considering it is a common question now on how the policy has benefited them.
MCA president Datuk Seri Ong Tee Keat said there were concerns that the NEP advocates should identify the factors that led to the failure, if at all it was true, in achieving the 30% quota.
“Nonetheless, much to our dismay and chagrin, they have merely been parroting what they or their predecessors have said in the past three decades,” Ong said in his blog.
Ong said the advocates should take a closer look at the prevailing hardship of their own brethren at the lower rung of society.
“The pertinent question to be asked now is: have these people ever benefited from the NEP in the past three decades?

Yups. Have them hardcore poor Malays ever benefitted from the NEP in the past three decades? Apart from the token RM100 or so per month from the Jabatan Kebajikan Masyarakat? Is there any concerted effort to yank them from their generations of hopelessness? Or at least break that notorious cycle of poverty and crime?
So, not unlike Ms Jackson, I want to ask them NEP advocates. What have you done for me lately? That without NEP I could not even own a PC to blog me thoughts? That I could not have electricity and running water? Don't even start with the quality of the water that need to be filtered or be reversed osmosis with expensive add-ons to be safe enough to drink. That I could not get a place in uni? That I could not get a job in the private sector?
Is NEP that cool? So that the majority of the Malay folks can gawk at a few of their owns driving filthy expensive marques, having palatial homes and chasing sweet young thangs with pubic hair barely grown? While still begging for work with those who're non-beneficiaries of the NEP? While being eyed with disdain and suspicion by those who're supposed to be the victims of the NEP? Is it really worth it, this Non Erect Penis?
What's up dude?
Umno stood me up again.
Again?
Um hmmm.
Well what's up with Umno? You really like Umno that much?
Yes, honey, I love Umno. Umno is fine, it does a lot of nice things for me.
I know Umno used to do nice stuff for you, but what has Umno done for you lately?
Used to be a time when you would pamper me.
Used to brag about it all the time.
Other parties seem to think that you're so peachy keen.
But my brothers say neglect is on your mind...
Who's right?
What have you done for me lately?
Ooh ooh ooh yeah...
What have you done for me lately?
Ooh ooh ooh yeah...
Used to go to the mosque almost every night.
Prayed until I thought I'd lose my breath.
Now it seems your praying feet are always on the bar.
Good thing I pray or else we'd burn in Hell...
Ain't that a shame?
I never ask for more than I deserve.
You know it's the truth.
You seem to think you're Gods gift to the Malays.
I'm tellin you... no way.
You ought to be thankful for the little things.
But little things are all you seem to give.
You're always puttin off what we could do today.
Soap opera says you've got one life to live.
Who's right who's wrong?
This is wild... I swear.
If you wanna help, help those really in need. Not those who say they need. It'll avoid malaise dilemmas. And hatred. And vengeful.
