Affirmative action policy in Malaysia has helped many Malays succeed, prevented racial tensions: Mahathir

Dr Mahathir, who is in New York for the 74th Session of the United Nations General Assembly, emphasised that the policy is needed to prevent tensions from growing between the different races and economic classes in the country.

“If you do away with affirmative action, what do you want to do? If you do nothing the disparity is going to be worse and there will be tensions between races and between the rich and the poor,” he said.

Dr Mahathir cited the example of the medical field, in which measures taken to correct imbalances in the profession have led to the presence of more Malay doctors.

“In other professions too we have made some corrections, it is not satisfactory but at least we have made some corrections,” he said.

"And there are now Malays who are doing quite well in business.

“I was talking to a man last night. He flies helicopters and owns a lot of helicopters not just in Malaysia but all over the world. He was given a chance, and he made good use of the chance.”
