He has, in Parliaments. Yet, on this question of the course of his speech, reiterated the bringing about of Malaysia there many times that the Government has is no mandate and this is a very failed to do so. I for one will agree glaring example of a departure from with him that, as far as the Speech is British parliamentary practice. Apart concerned, nothing has been said about from that, it should be necessary for it. However, as far as the utterances any Party in power in implementing of the various Ministers are concerned, any particular programme, that it they have time and again stressed that should first of all have the consent of they are doing this to encourage Malay the people. However, here we have a participation, they are doing that to glaring example which, I think, the give Malays an opportunity in industry, next election can easily remedy. but what is the real problem of Malay poverty in this country? I think we Secondly, we regret to note that as must be clear on this particular far as the Speech of His Majesty is problem. We in the Socialist Front feel concerned, very little is said of pro- very strongly that poverty knows no posals with regard to the changing racial barriers. There are poor Malays, economic situation that is facing the poor Chinese and poor Indians. As the country today. We have heard time and Honourable Member for Larut Utara again of Ministers expressing concern has rightly pointed out, we in the about the lack of funds, and yet in His Socialist Front have on no occasion Majesty's Speech very little is said made any attempt to advocate for any about it. We have heard of a committee particular racial group in this country, which has gone into the question of because we feel that in the field of priorities for the Five-Year Develop- economics there is no such thing as ment Plan, but up to date we have poor Chinese, poor Malays or poor heard nothing from this committee as Indians. We feel that the answer is in to what remedy it is proposing in remedying the defects of our economy regard to the Plan and whether it is itself. What is wrong with the present proposed to modify the Plan to any Malayan economy, so much so that a extent. Thus as far as the Five-Year very large proportion of Malay political Plan is concerned, it has been pointed leaders coming now and again to make out by us at various sessions in this utterances and statements to the effect Parliament that at its very best the that they must remedy the present Plan as pointed out also by the imbalance between the Malays and the Honourable Member for Kuala other communities?

I 291 27 MAY 1963 292 will read out certain sections to give more than $100 a month. So, Sir, here this House an idea of the whole is the essence of the whole position. situation. It is stated here on page 8, According to the Professor, he says : Part I, under the heading "The "This is the essential point about the Economic Position of the Malays", as economic position of the Malays. The follows : Malays as a whole are poor because such a large proportion of them follow the "This is an important matter, but it is my poorest of agricultural occupations in the contention that much of the thinking on the country.

"influential circles" it is meant the Alliance circles, because the Alliance men are the So, Sir, this question of Malay poverty only people who have any influence in this hinges on their occupations ; and what country-"It is largely concerned with the superficial aspects of the problems; worse is wrong with agriculture and fishing? still, it is racialist and without any sound It is pointed out that the result of the economic basis .

It may be that my secondly it is due to exploitation ; and views do not follow the traditional grooves thirdly it is due to neglect. Here, Sir, along which thinking on the Malay economy it is very interesting for us to see, as has moved. But I believe that sincerity must far as the Government is concerned, as be an element not only of democracy but also of economic progress. Many who talk to what the Government has done of the economic position of the Malays about this. Knowing that this is the neither know exactly what an `economic problem, what is the remedy which the position' is, nor do they have a grasp of the relevant facts about the economic Government is proposing? To clarify conditions of the Malays. Their main the position, I will read a further concern is: how can we increase the section from the article which, says : relatively small number of Malay capitalists, "Poverty has no race barriers. businessmen and shopkeepers who are to be The facts of low productivity, exploi- found in the country." tation, and neglect are not applicable only to the Malay farmers and fishermen. I think here the Professor has set out They apply generally to all farmers, very clearly the problem as seen by workers and fishermen living in the rural "influential circles" and the fallacy of areas. For example, Chinese shopkeepers their thinking. So, Sir, from that exploit Chinese fishermen and farmers through price margins and indebtedness analysis, it is important to realise that without any special signs of favour for any talk on the economic position of their compatriots. the Malays must rest primarily on the Also despite the common regard that Malays themselves what are the they both may have for their motherland and its great leaders, Indian money- Malays occupied in, what are they lenders do not moderate their rapacious- doing in this country and how much ness when dealing with their fellow income they are deriving from that countrymen. particular mode of occupation.
