What should be included in the New Economic Model (NEM)?

NEM needs a mindset change/shift in Malaysian especially the bumiputra in order to succeed.

The new mindset is that the country has to adopt meritocracy as a standard guideline, and that means everyone in the land has an equal chance to be successful in a fair and just political and business environments.

There should be no more preferred Malaysian, and all Malaysian are the preferred Malaysian regardless of their ethnicity.

Some one cleverly created the Bumiputra and non-bumiputra status in the early 1970 in order to divide the people wider and deeper.

Can the existing created 'bumiputra' Malaysian accepting this present ecology?

Bumiputra should be a history word of the past and will be discard completely in Malaysia, now! If government wants to transform the country to a new era of high-income state within 10 years period,this is a big challenge confront the bumiputra.

In Sabah, we have been demonstrating the 1Malaysian way of life, and Sabahan are getting further away from its semenanjung counterpart in this aspect of racial harmony, and togetherness.

Today, we don't just lose the brains daily, but are losing labours resources as well. This is serious matter as even Indonesian are not coming to Malaysia as their country can now offer much higher, if not at par, better deal than the Malaysian salary/wage offer.

We are now exporting our local laborers as well as brains to the outside world.

There are 350,000 professionals migrated in the last 18 months as reported in the new papers.

How to turn the situation around needs a lot of acrobatic skill, but one thing for sure, government must not continue to experiment on the education aspect of the country as it's strategically important in the quest for value-chain, and must not be messed around anymore.

Why not PM Najib adopting the 'Blue Ocean Strategy' by appointing only the competent Malaysian to lead the finance and education ministry respectively for a change without the rigidity of the outdated racial consideration?
