For some (read PERKASA and it irks) anything that is universally good for the country is a threat to the Malays.

I read, Ibrahim Ali (PERKASA president) media statement with interest. Particularly on the part about market economy is a threat to the Malays and how the Chinese bogeyman would take over the country (Disclaimer: These are all Ibrahim Ali's word, not mine).

Nevermind about the possibility and the truthfulness of all things claimed by PERKASA and the likes.

Nevermind also that the views expressed is unimaginably narrow and racist in nature.

All that is to it is to suggest something that would move the country (read Malaysia) forward, and you would have the likes of Ibrahim Ali jump up and say, "No! you can't do that because that is a threat to Melayu!"

Let see, opening up the market, that's a no-no, as Ibrahim Ali said it, market economy is a threat to the Malays.

What about globalization? Would we be able to face the onslaught of globalization with the continuation of NEP? That is a non-issue to PERKASA because you wouldn't hear anything constructive from them on how to prepare the country and move the country ahead to face the imminent fierce global competitions.

These people is only interested in free hand-outs, free APs, free highway toll concessions, and free lucrative government contracts.

Anything that is good for the country that would take these free things away from them would be responded with "that is a threat to the Malays!".
