IT IS gratifying to learn from Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak himself that we can achieve 30% bumiputra equity by 2020. Already, rapid progress has been attained.
Bumiputra equity increased from a share of 21.9% or RM127 billion in 2008 to 23.0% or RM168 billion in 2010. If this trend continues, we should be able to reach our targets even before 2020, provided there are no leakages.
