An article on Straights Time of March 13, 2008 with the title "Don't fan racial flames, Abdullah warns" refers to the UMNO as defending the New Economic Policy (NEP) of Malaysia.
It happens the downfall of several state's power to the opposition party - Democratic Action Party - has really alerted the govt.
But why to defend the NEP when it doesnt really seem to benefit the nation as a whole? This is nonsense. It must have really meant something if the indigenious Malays have also opted against the nation's party.
A little history lesson to learn about the origins of this 'favouring system' will be good. Some 39 years ago from today where it had begun..
