AL JAZEERA 101 EAST: MALAYSIAN AFFIRMATIVE ACTION. Choose One Of The 3 Guests Featured On The Talk Show 101 East. Then Apply Discourse Analysis. State Whether You Agree or Disagree Towards the Proposition, Premises And Arguments That You Have Identified.

  Based from 101 East talk show about the NEP or New Economic Policy, among the three guest I would choose Datuk Seri Dr. Ibrahim Saad as the favorable speaker.

Discourse Analysis

Conclusion
 The NEP should be maintained in Penang except its implementation.

Claim
Political issues in NEP affects people's perception in the NEP.

Premise 1
NEP during its development does not state the policy of NEP is for the beneficial for the Bumiputeras only.

Argument 1
  • Malay elites used this policy for their own good will and those whom involve with them politically.
  • Tun Abdul Razak during the early development of NEP stated that the policy is for the benefit for all people and not only just for the bumiputeras.
Premise 2
The implementation of NEP policy does not being implemented inside NEP itself .

Argument 2
  • Corruption within the Bumiputera affects the NEP policy itself.
  • It even affects and cause dissatisfaction among the Malay Bumiputeras themselves.

 Based from the discourse analysis, I would like to agree on all Datuk Seri Dr Ibrahim Saad on all the premises and his justification he had given that the NEP or New Economic Policy should be maintained and that the implementation should be changed. The government should not allow too many Malay elites to control the NEP or else it would upset other races because it is the human nature to be racist and only benefits their own kind, examples such as Hitler's national unity for the German people or the Tel Aviv Israeli movement for their Jewish Zionist benefits over the development of the country of Israel. The government should also allow some the Malaysia Chinese Association (MCA) and Malaysia Indian Congress (MIC) to provide help on their race as well so that Malaysia could achieve cultural harmony, balance and equality.
