New NEP: A ghost of dead policies

“The NEP is now the primary justification and cover for corruption, crony capitalism and money politics, and it is corruption, cronyism and money politics that rob us and destroy our future,” said Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah at the launch of the 2nd edition of the collection of James Puthucheary’s writings, poems and commentaries in No Cowardly Past.

The launch attended by more than 200 people was held at the Civic Centre, MBPJ Selangor on March 22, 2010.
