Other Races Need Not Worry - Umno Leaders - Bernama

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 25 (Bernama) -- Non-Malays need not worry over Umno's effort to position the Malays in the rightful place as it is aimed at ensuring their 30 per cent share of the economic cake is realised.

Umno Supreme Council (MT) member who bagged the highest number of votes, Datuk Seri Dr Mohamed Khir Toyo said the non-Malays should view it positively.

This is because the Malays are still not satisfied with their economic achievement although the New Economic Policy has expired.

The Selangor Umno chief and Menteri Besar was asked to comment on the adjournment speech by the party president Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi at the Umno annual general assembly at the Putra World Trade Centre, here Saturday.

Dr Khir said that if the feeling of dissatisfaction among the Malays was left unattended, it would become cancerous and could finally lead to unfavourable consequences.

On the effort to bring Malay professionals together to help achieve the Malay agenda, Dr Khir said Umno's door was always opened.
