Opposition Alliance Will Introduce Alternative Programme To Replace NEP, Says Anwar
SINGAPORE, March 17 (Bernama) -- Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) de facto leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim says the soon-to-be-formalised opposition alliance will introduce the Malaysian Economic Agenda as an alternative programme to replace the New Economic Policy (NEP) to fulfil the needs of all the races in the coutnry.
He said the programme would be introduced when PKR, DAP and PAS formalised their alliance mechanism in a few days.
"I want to assure the Malays that the Malay Agenda will be retained, but we will also have to draw up a new agenda for the Chinese and the Indians," he said in an interview with the Singapore Berita Harian which was published today.
Anwar said the three-party alliance started working on the Malaysian Economic Agenda since a year ago.
