ANWAR IBRAHIM HAD "NOT BEEN UNFAIR" TO MALAYSIANS IN GENERAL WHEN HE WAS FINANCE MINISTER...

ADMITTED A FORMER MINISTER SANUSI JUNID WHO SERVED THE MAHATHIR REGIME FAITHFULLY.

I was "somewhat shocked" when I read the Malaysian Insider just now that Sanusi openly recalled that before Anwar's time, THEN FINANCE MINISTER DAIM ZAINUDDIN LED BY HIS BOSS DR MAHATHIR MOHAMAD HAD PRACTISED A POLICY SIMILAR TO NAZI GERMANY'S ANTI-JEW POLICY -- in that the UMNO leaders then practised a policy of NOT GIVING ANY BANKING LICENCES TO THE CHINESE (by extension to the Indian too) MALAYSIANS. Then Anwar came along, and thankfully, Malaysian had now a potential PM waiting in the wings  who did away with the RACIST POLICY! So cometh the 13th General Elections, fellow Malaysians, wake up -- VOTE4CHANGE!

Thank God Anwar was an UMNO leader "before his times" in that he had the far-sighted vision that the country could NOT progress had it continued with BLINKERED RACE-DISCRIMINATORY POLICIES IN THE ECONOMY IN GENARAL, and in BANKING in particular. Otherwise, we would NOT have progressed to this stage of our economic stage DESPITE THE CONTINUANCE BY BN-UMNO OF MANY RACIST POLICIES, with the younger brothers MCA and MIC meekly holding their tongues in silencess of the lamb.

Germany’s past anti-Jew policy inspired Dr M’s banking reforms, says Sanusi

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 23 — Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad was inspired by Germany’s past policy of limiting Jewish financial influence to help the Malays but it was later thwarted by Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, former Cabinet minister Tan Sri Sanusi Junid said today.

Sanusi told a Malay economic forum that Dr Mahathir and former Finance Minister Tun Daim Zainuddin were hoping that Malays would control the economy but when they saw progress was slow, they decided to follow the German example of not granting banking licences to Jews.

But the plan failed when Anwar became finance minister and approved two banking licences to non-Malay banking groups — Alliance Bank and Hong Leong Bank.

“We thought that if we can’t control the economy, we would follow Germany,” Sanusi said at the Malay Economic Congress here. “In Germany banking licences are not given to the Jews.”

He said while pre-existing licences had been given to non-Malays, Daim made sure that all banks had Malay directors, which was important to ensure all banks had Malay influence.

“But unfortunately a huge disaster happened (kecelakaan besar); when Anwar became finance minister he approved banking licences for Alliance Bank and Hong Leong bank,” he said. “We didn’t want to give.”

Sanusi said that as a result there are now “two non-Malay banks without Malay influence.”
