KUALA LUMPUR: The Government is not out to persecute bumiputras but wants to ensure that a fair and equitable solution is in place for the betterment of the community, says Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.

The Prime Minister said that in the past, many business opportunities had been given to bumiputras under the New Economic Policy, but many had sold their contracts and approved permits (APs) for a good profit.
