Former Malaysian PM Abdullah Badawi said it best when he advised his people not to rely too much on handouts as their knees would go weak from using crutches for too long. In fact, he went on to say that many of them were now relying on wheelchairs. Mahathir on the other hand, has always had an inferiority complex with regards to the Chinese.  He fears their intellect, drive, propensity for hard work, entrepreneurship etc.  That is why he is aware that his people will become blue collar workers if meritocracy is practiced in Malaysia.  Dr M is afraid that the other races would be far ahead on a level-playing field.
