Walk the talk on shared prosperity, needs-based policy

All Malaysians must be stakeholders in the Shared Prosperity vision and must believe that they have a stake. – The Malaysian Insight file pic, August 1, 2019.

THE announcements on the Shared Prosperity Vision 2030 and needs-based affirmative action policy provided a clear narrative to drive our nation forward. The narrative promised hope of recapturing the initiative, and navigating away from the distracting race-religion polemics and flip-flops on executive decisions that have dictated mainstream discourse.

The direction of the past 14 months has been without a fixed bearing. Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s announcement on the Shared Prosperity vision and PM-in-waiting Anwar Ibrahim’s declaration on a needs-based affirmative action policy has lent hope that, finally, the path will be set straight, and we will witness the rebirth of an opportunity that has gone off course several times.

  • Shared prosperity is only happening when we pull ourselves together and work towards the common goal instead of going for personal agenda. Once we had defeated our public enemy no. 1 the corruption, we do stand a chance.

  • Shared Prosperity can only happen if the majority Race in malaysia go back to history of malaysia to know from where did ALL MALAYSIANS COME FROM. No any race or religion is SUPERIOR. All are PENDATANG who form the word MALAYSIA. So therefore it is only FAIR if WEALTH IS SHARED EQUALLY AMONG ALL MALAYSIANS.
