I’m curious to know the source of this statistics<\/a><\/strong>. Strangely enough, I didn’t know there’s a “lower income” category. I think there’s high income, middle income, low income, poor, and hard core poor only. And I must admit, looking at the crowd in urban areas, the 20% who are not in “lower-income” groups seems to be a lot. Just go to Shah Alam, Bangi, Putrajaya, KL happening areas.<\/p>\n

And I wonder what’s the statistics like for other major communities. Also in the 70-80% bracket? Should be, because we only have small number of tax payers.<\/p>\n

I think something is seriously misleading in this statistics and its irresponsible to publish such news without proper source reference.<\/p>\n

Malay entrepreneurs must evaluate critically and openly why 80% of Malays were in the lower income category, Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin said.<\/p>\n

He said they should be introspective and practice self-critism to grow.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo succeed, we need to be introspective and practise kaizen, which means continuous improvement. Introspection must include the element of self-critism,\u201d he said at the closing ceremony of the Malay Entrepreneurs Convention here Saturday.<\/p>\n

He said under the New Economic Model (NEM), the Government wanted to have practises based on merits, needs, transparency and market-friendliness.<\/p>\n

\u201cMalays must see the NEM as an opportunity and not a threat. Malays must be less obsessed with processes and procedures compared with output.<\/p>\n

\u201cA pragmatic and practical attitude is better than being dogmatic,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
