Message: <blockquote data-quote="cossie" data-source="post: 728213" data-attributes="member: 2865">two different sampansi agree with this solution.another thing is the discussions in this thread had never been 'racist'; no more than the fact that AP is a bumiputra issue and not a racial issue. bumiputra is not a race but it is a special or specific group of people living in malaysia. it just so happened that during some discussion, some people who had no good intentions allege that some members are racist. there is a possiblity that they are from other countries who wish to sow problems among malaysians.as the AP is a special permit given to bumiputras (which do not comprise of orang asli, all non-muslim malays or those of other races in malaysia), it directly affects only those which are in the bumiputra category. if there are any bumiputra which did not gain from this special permit, that's their loss. the minister in charge of issuing the AP insisted that only hard working bumiputras received APs. if only a few received this special permit, then the minister is using this as an explanation that the rest did not work hard.however the AP does affect the malaysian automotive industry just like drugs affect malaysian productivity and health. so it becomes a national issue which affects all malaysians.does the cost of maintaining the APs affect the local automotive industry? yes it does, as the investment could have been used to support the national car industry and improve it. the reason behind the AP is to allow bumiputras a chance to be involved in the automotive business. what is the use of proton then? isn't proton a bumiputra business involved in the automotive industry? why is there a need to have two separate 'opportunities'? --- if a man were to put each of his legs into two different sampans, it will not be steady.the AP should have been scrapped in 1985 but twenty years later, it is still not too late to scrap it and concentrate on the long established bumiputra foray in the automotive industry. it is also important to maintain proton because malaysians have invested for so long by using its products. if it were to collapse overnight as what some strange people propose, what will be the cost to those who only had protons all their life? can they afford to scrap their vehicles and replace them with those brought in by the AP kings when the spare parts are all consumed?</blockquote>
