The problem lies with the Govt of each nation. SIA is well managed all around by the Singapore Govt. As for Malaysian Airlines, it has been damaged by CORRUPTION, Cronyism, nepotism, unreasonable pricing of food supply by Umno cronies & mismanagement by people who did not have any in-depth knowledge of aviation industry & most damaging is when politicians were given full authority to manage the industry.

[@belajartradecrypto2181]

AA no wrong. but corruption YES!... Before I delve into the arguments, it's important to explore the history of protectionism. When discussing protectionism, many immediately think of countries like Japan, Korea, or China. China, in particular, provides a compelling case study. China's strategic use of protectionist policies played a significant role in nurturing its nascent technology sector. By shielding domestic companies from international giants like Google and Facebook, China created an environment where local firms could grow and develop. *This protection allowed Chinese technology companies, such as Baidu, Tencent, and Alibaba, to mature and innovate without the immediate threat of overwhelming foreign competition.* As a result, these companies have evolved into global technology leaders, leveraging their protected market position to expand and compete on an international scale. *You can also apply this to nurture another lagging group...* Historically, Friedrich List, a notable German economist, argued that tariffs on imported goods could boost domestic development. Alexander Hamilton, the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury, echoed this sentiment in his "Report on Manufactures," suggesting that protectionism was crucial for building a strong industrial economy. _These measures are necessary to shelter domestic "infant industries" until they can achieve economies of scale_ . *It’s funny how people can champion protectionism when they’re the ones benefiting from it but then criticize affirmative action when they think they’re excluded from.* Is their interest really more important than national interest? *What’s wrong with Malaysia investing in its own native Bumiputera to achieve strategic goals? Do you really think Malaysia can advance by relying solely on its minority groups?* We often see that folks who argue against AA on the grounds of merit conveniently overlook how protectionism has historically helped shape successful industries and economies. *Some argue that after almost 50 years of applying the NEP, there have been little results.* They're wrong. If we look at countries like Japan, Korea, and China, they are large countries with *massive populations,* which means the impacts of their policies show up in a shorter time. Second, *the effective implementation of policies, with less corruption, accelerates results.* Third, *these countries have no internal struggles* like racial dominance in certain sectors. In contrast, _Malaysia first needs to break this racial monopoly before developing its own people._ She must also deal with *sabotage efforts* from this a minority dominant group. One example of such sabotage is soft discrimination in the workplace, as highlighted in a study by Dr. Muhammed Abdul Khaled and Dr. Lee Hwok Aun. Soft discrimination isn't written into the legal system. Unlike hard discrimination, which is easier to address, soft discrimination is subtler and harder to mitigate. It's akin to the way biases in research are recognized. *Soft discrimination is beyond the government's control and further slows the NEP's progress.* *Investing in people is a long-term strategy, not something that yields immediate results.* As the Chinese proverb goes, "If your plan is for one year, plant rice. If your plan is for ten years, plant trees. If your plan is for one hundred years, educate children." *Malaysia has seen success in nurturing its native talents, with young achievers like Nur Alia Jannah, who won Apple's Swift Student Challenge in 2024, and Safwa Zamri, who placed second globally in the ACCA exam. In the past, international recognition for Malaysia often came from non-native figures.* However, since the New Economic Policy (NEP), we’ve seen homegrown talent like Hassan Marican and Idris Jala make significant impacts in the corporate world. If we look at Singapore, which is often compared to Malaysia, they seem to struggle in fostering similar native talent. *Can anyone name a Malay corporate figure from Singapore who stands alongside Malaysian leaders like Halim Saad, Syed Mokhtar Al-Bukhary, Idris Jala, or Hassan Marican?* Even when it comes to choosing a presidential candidate, Singaporeans found it difficult to name someone from the Malay ethnicity who met the required $500 million in shareholders' equity. This is particularly striking given that Singapore's GDP is multiple times larger than Malaysia. GDP per capita, Malysia 10k while Spore 60k. So, how can this be defined as a successful model in nurturing their own native talent through meritocracy? Let’s delve deeper into Singapore’s Forbes List 2024, where only the Wee family represents local Chinese Singaporeans. Unlike in Malaysia, many names on the list come from humble backgrounds. This indicates that Malaysia has been more successful than its counterpart in promoting intergenerational social mobility. *Once again, I’d like to highlight that the failures of some AA policies are not due to their framework, but rather their implementation.* As Kaplan and Norton, two well-known strategic thinkers, have emphasized, most failures stem from poor execution. Corruption, mismanagement, abuse of power, and political interference are the true culprits that sabotage even the most promising initiatives. Tackling these issues is crucial to ensuring that any policy-whether it’s AA, protectionism, or something else-can be both effective and fair. *Take Proton Holdings and Malaysia Airlines (MAS), for example.* The problems with these companies stem more from political interference and mismanagement than from the policies themselves. Proton bought MV Agusta in 2004 for €70 million (RM368 million) but sold it for just one euro (RM5) in 2006. The justification was a lack of operational synergies, resulting in a loss of over RM500 million. Ironically, after Proton's sale, MV Agusta’s value soared when its Husqvarna division was sold to BMW for €90 million (RM450 million) and MV Agusta was later bought by Harley-Davidson for RM350 million. Similarly, MAS faced a financial scandal in the 1990s when businessman Tan Sri Tajuddin Ramli took a government loan to acquire a controlling stake in the airline at a significantly inflated price of RM8 per share. Under Tajuddin’s management, MAS racked up RM8 billion in losses. Despite this, the government bought back his 29.09% stake at RM8 per share, a 117% premium over the market price of RM3.68 per share. These cases highlight that the issues were more about mismanagement and corruption than about the inherent flaws of protectionism or affirmative action. *Speaking about the challenges faced by both natives and non-natives in education,* the disparities become quite evident. Non-natives often express frustration when they’re rejected from competitive fields like medicine or law due to quotas being full. This forces them to either switch to a less preferred faculty or seek education abroad or at private institutions. *They have more options but still face the disappointment of not being able to pursue their chosen field at home.* On the other hand, natives usually don’t have those same of these luxury options. *Many come from lower-income backgrounds, where the decision isn’t about choosing between faculties, but about continuing education at all or entering the workforce due to poverty.* Their focus isn’t necessarily on following their passions, but on simply securing a better future through whatever opportunity comes their way. As a policymaker, when conducting a cost-benefit analysis in this context, *the trade-offs can be tough but insightful.* You might lose one talented student from a privileged background who has the means to seek alternatives, but by investing in students from marginalized backgrounds, you’re potentially uplifting an entire generation. *You take a farmer’s child and help them enter the middle class, and in the following generation, that family might produce two or more well-educated individuals who have a far greater range of opportunities.* As a middle-class worker, you require less support from the government, allowing the government to focus more on supporting lower-income groups. This creates a virtuous cycle: more middle class, more opportunities, and more growth. In essence, *while some middle-class, non-native students might need to pursue their studies abroad, many have the resources and support systems to do so, as evidenced in the comment section.* The government’s focus on elevating disadvantaged native populations is, in the long run, a strategic investment in the nation’s human capital. It’s about fostering a more inclusive society where everyone has a shot at success, not just those who are already well-positioned to succeed. *This is part of a broader government effort to dismantle the monopolies certain groups or races have held for centuries in the economy and education sectors. It aims is to correct historical imbalances and ensure that opportunities are more equitably distributed across society.*

[@belajartradecrypto2181]

*Some say, protectionism is no good for a country because it leads to brain drain.* I do agree, as we need the right people for the right jobs (meritocracy). However, if you're familiar with strategic thinking, you know that not one-size-fits-all solutions exist in economic policy. Every nation has unique economic, social, and political contexts that require tailored approaches. *For some countries, temporary protectionism might be necessary to shield emerging industries from global competition and allow them to grow.* For others, open markets and competition may better drive innovation and attract talent. *The same applies to the development of specific races or communities. Different communities may require distinct strategies to foster growth, uplift marginalized groups, and promote equality.* Just as economic policies must be customized, so too must approaches to social development. Affirmative action, for example, is one such tailored approach aimed at addressing historical inequalities and leveling the playing field for marginalized communities. While controversial in some contexts, it can serve as a strategic tool to ensure that underrepresented groups gain access to opportunities in education, employment, and other areas. By providing targeted support, affirmative action helps bridge the gap created by systemic disadvantages, much like temporary protectionism can shield industries in their early stages. However, as with protectionism, it’s important to recognize that these measures should be temporary and context-driven, with a focus on long-term integration and merit-based systems. Over time, the goal is to transition toward a more equitable and competitive environment where all individuals and communities can thrive based on their abilities and contributions.... *Some have argued that policies like affirmative action or Malaysia's New Economic Policy (NEP) have contributed to the decline in competitiveness of companies such as Proton and Malaysia Airlines (MAS).* Critics claim that these policies, designed to promote equity and uplift marginalized groups, have sometimes led to inefficiencies by prioritizing race-based quotas over meritocracy. However, it is important to note that at its peak, Proton achieved significant success, including the acquisition of the UK-based Lotus Cars, demonstrating its capability to compete on an international scale. This acquisition highlighted Proton's potential and ambition to enhance its technological and engineering prowess. Similarly, MAS garnered numerous awards from the aviation industry, including being crowned 'The World's 5-Star Airline' by Skytrax multiple times (2009, 2012, and 2013) and receiving recognition from the World Travel Awards as 'Asia's Leading Airline' (2010, 2011, and 2013). These achievements challenge the claims that affirmative action or protectionism inherently lead to inefficiencies, suggesting that these policies can coexist with competitive success when managed effectively.... *People often conflate the ineffectiveness and mismanagement associated with affirmative action (AA) with the policies themselves, but the root causes are often deeper issues like corruption and political interferences.* Whether in a meritocracy or a free market, corruption leads to mismanagement, inefficiencies, and abuse of power. It distorts the intended outcomes of any policy, including affirmative action. When corruption infiltrates institutions, it undermines fair implementation and accountability, resulting in poor decision-making and wasted resources. *The real issue is not the policy per se, but how it is applied and governed.* Addressing corruption and ensuring robust oversight are crucial to making any policy-be it protectionist, affirmative action, or market-driven-effective and equitable. Without tackling corruption, any policy, regardless of its theoretical merits, can lead to significant inefficiencies and failures. Analogous to this is the tendency to blame the institution of marriage for divorces. This perspective overlooks the complexities of individual behavior and personal circumstances. Just as the problems within institutions often stem from individual actions and governance rather than the institutions themselves, the failures attributed to policies like AA or protectionism frequently arise from the way they are implemented and managed, not the policies' inherent principles. *The real challenge lies in improving implementation and governance to ensure that policies achieve their intended outcomes.*

one has argued because of affirmative action leads to corruption. *but the truth is, corruption stems from poor governance and lack of transparency, not from the policy itself.* Affirmative action, when implemented properly, is about leveling the playing field and providing opportunities to those who have been historically disadvantaged. *Blaming corruption solely on affirmative action ignores the deeper issues of mismanagement and abuse of power.* I’m not here to condone Mahathirism or defend any political ideology. What I’m pointing out is that the core issues often lie in how policies are implemented, not necessarily in the policies themselves. *Whether it’s affirmative action or any other strategy, the real problems come from corruption, mismanagement, and a lack of accountability.* We need to focus on fixing those issues rather than blaming everything on the policies or the leaders who introduced them. When we look at our neighboring countries like Indonesia, the Philippines, Laos, Myanmar, and Cambodia, none of them have applied affirmative action policies. *The Philippines, in particular, has a situation quite similar to Malaysia, where the minority holds significant control over the economy. But are they really doing better than Malaysia?* _Even in terms of corruption, they rank much worse than Malaysia._ So, it’s not just about affirmative action. If we zoom in on the culprits behind mega scandals, *we conveniently find non-native names* like Vincent Tan, involved in the 1Bestarinet scandal worth RM4 billion, Teo Wee Cheng in the Jana Wibawa scandal projects costing RM5.7 billion, and fugitive businessman Low Taek Jho (Jho Low), who faces charges in Malaysia and the US for allegedly orchestrating the theft of $4.5 billion from the 1MDB wealth fund. There’s also Eric Chia, tied to the Perwaja Steel scandal, which resulted in a loss of RM2.56 billion, and figures like Chan Kong Choy and Ling Liong Sik in the RM12 billion PKFZ scandal. *Only a handful of culprits in these scandals were Malays.* So, I ask you sincerely, *if we lift this racial barrier or quota system, do you really think we will end up like Singapore? Or are we more likely to head down the path of the Philippines or Indonesia, where both nations also emphasize 'meritocracy'?* You argue that meritocracy will reduce corruption while affirmative action won’t. *Do we really believe meritocracy alone will fix these deep-rooted issues?* *I’d like to remind you that the names dominating those mega scandals were involved under a quota system,* not in an open market or the so-called meritocracy you see in places like Singapore, the Philippines, or Indonesia.

After successful set up, they will kick Rslf out and replace with a Malay and he will shake legs with all perks given to him. If the company in trouble, they will find another Goat to save the company, if failed all blames goes to him. If successful, he will be kicked out and replaced with a Malay Guy to shake legs. Look at Musc founded by Robert Kuok, replaced by Malay and have the cheek to put in Straits times, From Kampung boy to helm MiSC as if he slogged to build it

[@truthful3777]

​@@belajartradecrypto2181As for the Chinese you mentioned, they are called in to help badly managed GLC companies by the Malays and if they failed they will be blamed. Most Founders of GLC companies are by Chinese and Indians. Take for example DNB, company that provide 5G network. Ralph Marshall were doing the hardwork setting up the Giant Company and upon successful running, he will asked to leave and replace with a Malay to shake legs. If the GLC in trouble a new expert will be called to handle. If he is successful in turning around the GLC, he will be asked to leave abd a Malay will take over to shake legs. If the GLC failed that poor fella will get the blame. If you study the companies of those you mentioned, all of them was previously being mismanaged and definitely a big chunk of money lost before the Chinese took over.

[@belajartradecrypto2181]

one has argued because of affirmative action leads to corruption. *but the truth is, corruption stems from poor governance and lack of transparency, not from the policy itself.* Affirmative action, when implemented properly, is about leveling the playing field and providing opportunities to those who have been historically disadvantaged. *Blaming corruption solely on affirmative action ignores the deeper issues of mismanagement and abuse of power.* I’m not here to condone Mahathirism or defend any political ideology. What I’m pointing out is that the core issues often lie in how policies are implemented, not necessarily in the policies themselves. *Whether it’s affirmative action or any other strategy, the real problems come from corruption, mismanagement, and a lack of accountability.* We need to focus on fixing those issues rather than blaming everything on the policies or the leaders who introduced them. When we look at our neighboring countries like Indonesia, the Philippines, Laos, Myanmar, and Cambodia, none of them have applied affirmative action policies. *The Philippines, in particular, has a situation quite similar to Malaysia, where the minority holds significant control over the economy. But are they really doing better than Malaysia?* _Even in terms of corruption, they rank much worse than Malaysia._ So, it’s not just about affirmative action. If we zoom in on the culprits behind mega scandals, *we conveniently find non-native names* like Vincent Tan, involved in the 1Bestarinet scandal worth RM4 billion, Teo Wee Cheng in the Jana Wibawa scandal projects costing RM5.7 billion, and fugitive businessman Low Taek Jho (Jho Low), who faces charges in Malaysia and the US for allegedly orchestrating the theft of $4.5 billion from the 1MDB wealth fund. There’s also Eric Chia, tied to the Perwaja Steel scandal, which resulted in a loss of RM2.56 billion, and figures like Chan Kong Choy and Ling Liong Sik in the RM12 billion PKFZ scandal. *Only a handful of culprits in these scandals were Malays.* So, I ask you sincerely, *if we lift this racial barrier or quota system, do you really think we will end up like Singapore? Or are we more likely to head down the path of the Philippines or Indonesia, where both nations also emphasize 'meritocracy'?* You argue that meritocracy will reduce corruption while affirmative action won’t. *Do we really believe meritocracy alone will fix these deep-rooted issues?* *I’d like to remind you that the names dominating those mega scandals were involved under a quota system,* not in an open market or the so-called meritocracy you see in places like Singapore, the Philippines, or Indonesia. So, think twice and be careful with what you wish for!

[@BalerionRust]

Not forgetting that DrM popularised Muslim first as a means to gain strength for his political agenda. Singapore recognised that racial harmony was more important. Hence Singapore was not able to see eye to eye and therefore the split from Malaysia. One sought stability through religion and majority race. One sought stability through recognising the needs of all races.

[@JAYJAY-ch4ik]

The answer is simple. Malaysia will never catch Singapore the quality of people is different. One country is huge with backup plans upon backup plans and land, despite corruption they can survive whereas we have nothing not even water we cannot fail.

The divergence in the fortunes of Singapore Airlines and Malaysia Airlines can be attributed to a combination of factors including effective management, strategic government support, operational efficiency, innovation, and financial prudence in the case of SIA.
