Answer 1

The bumiputera policy is similar to what the Americans call "affirmative action", but instead of helping the minority, it's helping the majority instead.

And while I do think the policy is doing more good than harm, I think the government shouldn't mess with the education system. The quota system is just plain silly, and I don't see any reason to deny a perfectly good candidate a place, just so a mediocore one can make up the quota.

Malaysia will lose a lot of her more intelligent citizens to countries like Australia, the UK and the US if this continues...

Answer 2

It's not,,every country needs it's own benefits for it's own original people to prevent the country rights from strangers
