This is the time to speak the truth, the whole truth frankly and boldly. Our communities face difficulties. Values have shrunken to terrible levels, taxes have risen, our ability to pay has fallen.

Large number of our young citizens face the grim problem of existence and thousands toil with little return. Under this scenario, UmnoYouth has called for the reintroduction of NEP to complete unfinished business.

As ordinary citizens, we request the government to reveal to the public the truth. Umno Youth deputy head Khairy Jamaluddin has said that Malay equity capital now stands at 18.7 percent. To what extent is this claim fact or myth?

Our fight is against real hardship. The lines that divide people based on colour or religion should be abolished. Unless we strive for human dignity, freedom, liberty and equality, a false leadership that focuses solely on materialism based on creed will only create more problems. We need to break the shackles of the past.
