Recently, Dr Lee Hwok-Aun, Senior Fellow, Malaysian Studies Programme, ISEAS-Yusof Ishak Institute, wrote: “Pakatan Harapan routinely disavows race-based policies, offering instead the notion of need-based policies. This commitment to need-based assistance has constructively focused attention on low-income households, but its prescription for ‘replacing’ race-based programs is fundamentally flawed.” 

This is pretty much an extension of what Hwok-Aun has been writing for years now. 

Question is, why is it fundamentally flawed? Hwok-Aun joins us to share his insight.
