AFP: Malaysia's forgotten poor failed by policy to boost poor Malays

This AFP report couldn't have summarised more succinctly what I just blogged about.

Is the dominant party failing the people it is supposed to champion while enriching its own members?? When these kind of statistics are mentioned, it is hard to think otherwise:

"One out of every five people in Terengganu lives below the poverty line, and many say they are disappointed at how little the United Malays National Organisation (UMNO) which has ruled Malaysia for 50 years has done for them."

Is the recently announced East Coast Economic Region just hype to get votes in the next General Election?
