今日大諷刺！馬來學者竟然要求華商挽救瀕臨倒閉的瑪拉數碼電子城Mara Digital Mall！精神錯亂了？海龜部長造的孽，休想又讓華人背黑鍋！
旨在掠奪非土著商家飯碗的土著數碼電子城計劃失敗，竟然要被掠奪者施加援手？簡直笑壞全世界大牙！
感覺就像一個拿著巴冷刀闖入你家打劫，結果被你反擊成重傷的盜賊，奄奄一息的告訴你，你必須救他醫治他讓他恢復健康，然後繼續拿刀砍你一樣。如果不是你聽錯，那就是他精神錯亂了。
再說，華裔商家出手相救之後，他們會感激你嗎？恐怕還會背黑鍋說你掠奪他們土著的商機！何必自取其辱！
馬來經濟學者阿德里阿米盧拉Adli Amirullah今日建議瑪拉數碼電子城應該開放給非土著進去經營。他說這樣一來既可以挽救瀕臨倒閉的瑪拉電子城，也可以帶來廣大的消費人潮，同時刺激土著業者發憤圖強，有競爭才會進步，可謂一舉三得。
但是，大家都知道瑪拉數碼城的設立，最大目的就是鼓勵土著掠奪非土著的數碼電子市場，期望憑這國陣政府的鼎力支持，土著商家能夠占盡優勢擊倒非土著，搶占手機數碼零件業市場的巨大份額。現在再一次證明土著始終是爛泥扶不上壁，掠奪不成反而搞到自己奄奄一息，竟然厚顏無恥要求被掠奪的受害者進去扶助他們？
一位受訪的非土著業者如此批評：《我看不到有任何正當的理由要我們非土著去振救這個計劃。大家都知道這個計劃原本就是針對我們才設立的，目的就是掠奪我們的辛苦成果；所以如果他們不懂經營而垮了，就讓他們垮吧！如果我們傻傻的拿出菩薩心腸真的去幫助他們，把這個土著電子城救活了，搞不好日後又變成一個打壓我們的藉口，說我們去土著電子城搶奪他們的商機！這種大X憨的事，誰會去做？》
非土著業者的話是絕對成立的。政府經過數十年的無條件扶助計劃、投下數以千億計的金錢幫助土著創業，已經一再證明這個民族好吃懶做、好逸惡勞、只要不勞而獲的劣根性是無藥可救。莫說瑪拉是一個純粹種族主義的機構絕對不會開放給非土著參與各種商業計劃，就算退一萬步來說，瑪拉真的開放電子城計劃讓非土著參與，裡面的馬來業者就一定會學習教訓，肯虛心學習華商的經營精神和訣竅？那是做夢！幾乎可以肯定的說，當華商在瑪拉裡面又取得成功，讓瑪拉電子城起死回生，大家也別期望他們會對非土著感恩戴德；更大的可能性就是批評非土著又掠奪《原本屬於他們的財富》，什麼五一三事件的恐嚇言論勢必又朗朗上口，最後非土著一個個被趕走，華商的好心又一次餵了豬。
所以，馬來學者的建議，聽聽就好，華商最好還是不要傻傻跳進去陷阱里。否則出了事沒人會救你。
IDEAS: Open up Mara Digital Mall to non-Bumis
PETALING JAYA: A think tank has suggested that Mara Digital Mall be opened to non-Bumiputera traders to 「push」 the Bumiputeras to become better entrepreneurs, in the wake of a report that business there is declining.
Economist Adli Amirullah, from the Institute for Democracy and Economic Affairs (IDEAS), said the arrival of non-Bumiputera traders at Mara Digital Mall would create healthy competition and encourage the Bumiputeras to step out of their comfort zone.
「This will increase their productivity and improve their quality in terms of doing business, and this will benefit the Bumiputeras in the long run.」
But the non-muslim trader responded: 「I don't see why Non Bumi should even bother to go rescue this project. It was created for their ultra vision so if it fails then let it fail. Should others go in to rescue it and it booms again, then we get blame for robbing them one more time.」
Mara Digital Mall, also known as 「Low Yat 2」, was launched on Dec 8, 2015, following a much-publicised dispute at Low Yat Plaza in July that year when a Malay youth stole a RM800 smartphone from one of the shops there.
The dispute was played up by some quarters as being racial in nature, leading to calls for a separate mall that allowed the public, especially the Malays, to buy from Bumiputera traders instead of the Chinese-owned businesses at Low Yat Plaza.
Consequently, Mara Digital Mall caters specifically to Bumiputera entrepreneurs, and is aimed at assisting them in breaking through the information communications technology (ICT) retail market.
But Adli said it must be noted that not all non-Bumiputeras benefited from Low Yat Plaza, as some didn』t even have the opportunity to start a business there because it was so competitive.
「That is why the government should gradually open up Mara Digital Mall to non-Bumiputeras. Giving fair opportunity to all Malaysians is more important than only giving certain races the opportunity,」 he said.
Absurd to have only one supplier
Adli also criticised the policy that all Bumiputera traders at Mara Digital Mall had to get their inventory from a single supplier.
「That’s an absurd way for them to do business. It’s basic economics. Limited supply will push prices up.
「If the traders there don』t have the freedom to choose their own suppliers, there won』t be much room to maximise profits.
「When you have one supplier, traders have no choice but to sell their goods above competitive prices to cover their profit margin.」
He added that the government’s solution had created new problems, as promoting entrepreneurship is not achieved by intervening in the market.
「Having only one supplier, the traders at Mara Digital Mall will lose out to other traders outside the mall who are free to choose different suppliers and can play around with profit margins.
「The government may decide what it thinks is best for the market, but the market can do this more efficiently and with less intervention,」 Adli said.
According to Adli, the end result is that Bumiputera entrepreneurs will be discouraged from investing in the ICT sector, which is counter to what the government wanted in the first place.
If the government truly wants Mara Digital Mall to be saved, he said, it should stop interfering in its operations.
「Market competition needs to be healthy in order for it to work properly. The government can only come in when there is a market failure, but they should not dictate what is good and what is bad for the market,」 Adli said.
In an article by The Malaysian Reserve yesterday, it was reported that Mara Digital Mall is struggling with a decline in sales and number of patrons.
Traders whom the financial publication spoke to said this was due to a lack of product variety, non-competitive prices and little publicity.
Adli said the only way forward was for there to be healthy competition by allowing non-Bumiputera retailers to operate at the mall. Traders should also be allowed to get their inventory from a multitude of suppliers, he added.
「Healthy competition will lead to competitive prices. The consumer will enjoy lower prices and a wider range of choices while traders can maximise their profits.」
