Former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamed has defended the Bumiputera Economic Empowerment (BEE) Agenda by denying that Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak is going backward to the days of favouring the bumiputeras.
Instead, he stressed that the controversial agenda is to distribute wealth evenly among society.
“It is not a case of favouring the bumiputeras, it’s a case of creating a society where wealth is evenly distributed among the people,” Mahathir said in a speech during a visit to the MRT Cochrane underground station construction site today.
