Is Najib Razak fishing for opportunities to shake up the Umno/Malay populace to support the party? If he did, it looks like someone already taken the bait. Najib mere suggestion to liberalise the NEP received quick response from other BN component parties including MCA and MIC. Recently elected MCA vice president Liow Tiong Lai took the bait by suggesting the Malay equity quota to be abolished. After Liow's statement was made known, a flurry of Malay politicians and pseudo-politicians in various guises and clothings starts to criticised the suggestion to do away with the equity quota. It's been made to look like it's the MCA that demand for the NEP to be liberalised, not Najib's proposal! Now Najib will just sit down and watch as the drama unfolds based on his script since he is also the director!
While there are many non-Malays BN politician whom has been suggesting the same, it was usually discussed privately amongst their comrades. What makes these politicians think that just because the person that suggested it is the PM designated the statement can be accepted as the gospel truth and with sincerity. How naive some people can be! Have they forgotten to check the person's political background to ensure the suggestion was given with sincerity, without ill-will and hidden agenda. If he is serious about it, it is not necessary to hand out the bait but just do it full heartedly. - Loka

Well, in my opinion NEP is necessary till today. Its objectives are good for national building and unity. NEP play a very significant role in Malaysia sosial economy, however, the implementation of NEP need to be review and evaluate! NEP should be back to its basic objectives. NEP should not be mix with the priviledges as granted in the constitution. There are different. Rational and intellectual Malays know what is happening as question by Tun M.... for how long the Malays need the 'tongkat' to survive...
