No, you have discrimanatory laws which do not allow ethnic Chinese and

These laws have helped close the income gap between the local Malays and
the affluent Chinese community, thereby stabilising the country and
creating more social harmony. But they are indeed not needed anymore


Somewhat hard to believe. Even Mahatir have admitted that the policy have
been a failure. It has probably efficiently reduced domestic investments

in
Malaysia.



right

and also:

Why does a state have to intervene to "close an income gap" ?
You do not support the economy by cutting the grass


If you called it "equalizing opportunities" it may be more acceptable
(and just as factual). You would prefer the violence of the sixties in
Malaysia (and the recent violence in Indonesia)?
