Malaysia to start ending Racial Policy?

http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=newsarchive&sid=akv4pAZCxigM

Found this piece of Bloomberg News, dated 21st March, 2007.

Apparently, acting as an adviser, Our former Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Musa Hitam is advising the government to exclude the bumiputra affirmative policy in the Johor Re-development project to lure foreign investors.

There are optimistic views expressed in the news piece that, the Malaysia Government, could use this opportunity to gradually doing away with the race policy, though there are also those opinioned that by doing so, would be like commiting political suicide for the National Coalition Government.

In my opinion, it remains a dream for the minority in Malaysia that the Government would abandoned it's race policy. In other words, until it really had happened, don't hold your breath for it.
