The New Economic Policy In Malaysia: Affirmative Action, Ethnic Inequalities And Social Justice

Author: ,

For more than 40 years the New Economic Policy and its successor programmes have shaped Malaysia’s socioeconomic development and the allocation of political power. The original policy sought to eradicate poverty and achieve economic parity among the country’s various ethnic communities. However, it was based on an apparent paradox — the use of ethnic preference to promote national unity. The policy’s core tenet was affirmative action on behalf of the Bumiputra community.
