    1 comments

    KUALA LUMPUR: Pakatan Rakyat has proposed a radical policy shift from attaining the 30 per cent equity target for Bumiputeras to a minimum household income of RM4,000 for each family, says opposition leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

    In a statement yesterday, he claimed the 30 per cent equity target policy had been hijacked by cronies and special interests groups to enrich themselves at the expense of the general public.

    He also claimed that the disparity between rich and poor had widened significantly as a result of abuses in the name of achieving the 30 per cent equity target. Bernama
