Azmin: NEP will be reviewed

KUALA LUMPUR: The New Economic Policy (NEP) will be reviewed by the Government to ensure that it fulfils the needs of the people and the direction of socio-economic development of Malaysia, says Economic Affairs Minister Datuk Seri Mohamed Azmin Ali.

The review of the NEP, an affirmative action policy that was crafted in the aftermath of the May 13 riots in 1969, would be carried out in line with the aspirations of a New Malaysia in ensuring sustainable economic growth and a fair distribution.
