Confirmed...NEP is nothing but a tool to keep Umno in power

And this is from the "horse's mouth", so to speak. Khir Toyo, the Selangor MB and 1st generation Malaysia-born, in Kota Kinabalu said that Umno can only remain relevant if keeping the NEP was among its priorities. He even venture to say that without keeping such a policy, the Malays would switch their support to PKR and PAS. Well, this more or less confirmed the view that Umno's die-die-wanna-keep the NEP behaviour has nothing to do with protecting the interests of the Malays, or fighting for their rights. It is more to to do with keeping themselves in power for as long as they want, while at the same time use the NEP as an excuse to enrich themselves further. In short, what Dr Dzulkifli Ahmad said about the NEP being the legitimating ideology for Umno's hegemony and legitimacy is confirmed by Toyo himself. No wonder all their talk about Malays having to stand on their own and to stop looking for handouts are nothing but empty rhetorics, with no real intention on their part to stop perpetuating such a crippling system of patronage. Because at the end of the day, it's all about politics. It's all about keeping Umno in power.
