Perkasa: Impossible for Malays to compete economically because of Islam


KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 15 — Perkasa president Datuk Ibrahim Ali suggested today that the Malays are economically disadvantaged against the non-Malays because of certain limitations in Islam.
The outspoken conservative Malay leader, who was speaking today at Perkasa’s annual meet here, cited this as the reason to continue with affirmative action policies, arguing that this was the best way to address this shortcoming of the Malays.
“Gambling, liquor, entertainment outlets ... how could Malays afford, be able to compete?” Ibrahim(picture) asked in his address.
He had claimed that millions of ringgit were denied to the Malays since those businesses are prohibited in Islam, while non-Muslim entrepreneurs had benefited a lot from them.
“We urge the government to continue affirmative action to ensure the security of our nation,” he added.
The firebrand leader had earlier quoted from the book “World on Fire” by Amy Chua, which suggested that the free market breeds ethnic hatred and global instability.
He gave examples of violence in the Philippines, Indonesia and South Africa, where shops owned by economically-dominant races had been burnt down after the natives felt threatened.
“Free economy can never help the natives,” said Ibrahim.
