I would like to share the following excerpt from Dr. Lim Teck Ghee's recent article on China's New Socialism which appeared in The Sun on 14 September
See https://www.thesundaily.my/opinion/chinas-new-socialism-a-game-changer-XF8340451
China’s ‘new’ socialism, a game changer
This recalibration of Chinese economic policy, which is aimed at strengthening the lower- and middle-income households shares of the economy, is in many ways quite unprecedented.
However, it is a battle, which even if it achieves modest results, can point the way to another model of development that is more sustainable, more accountable and balanced, and avoids the pitfalls of the “middle income trap”.
For now, two small wins can be discerned. The first – the rollback of the privatisation of public services in education, elderly care and medical care – has begun with the government emphasising the importance of inclusiveness and affordability to service providers. This important win has been a battle which the traditional left in the US, Britain and other Western countries has not been able to achieve.
The second, which focuses on “third distribution”, refers to the state’s “encouragement” to high-income groups and enterprises to give back to society some of their oversized wealth, including through voluntary gifts and charitable donations. Thus, earlier in April, internet mogul Pony Ma, the founder of Tencent H known for its social messaging apps WeChat and QQ – pledged US$7.7 billion of company money to clean energy, education and village revitalisation initiatives.
Fortune has reported that in the past eight months, five of China’s richest and most high-profile tech billionaires have pledged at least US$13 billion of their personal or corporate fortunes to charitable foundations and initiatives. This is a sum that will surely grow.
Many countries, including the United States, grappling with how to redress the entrenched rich-poor polarisation and the absence of balance and sustainability, stemming from the application of neo-liberal ideology, would do well to follow closely the Chinese progress with their “common prosperity” challenge, and perhaps even emulate the CPC reform policies now being implemented.
(from Dr Lim, The Sun article)
My comment:
I agree 100% with Dr. Lim
China's model is not only important for our government to learn from. Our private sector and the rich can also learn from China's new socialism.
If the rich of all races, especially the Malays, do this, I am sure there will be less need for the continuation of the NEP!
I have been doing my bit:
On my part I am proud to say that I have tried to practice the principle of the third distribution through my scholarship award to the young and deserving. I have given more than 300 scholarships to help financially poor students to complete their tertiary education. After my scholarship recipients graduate, they are not required to work for me nor do they need to pay back the money I spent on them. They only need to remember that when they were poor, I helped them and when they have some spare money, they should help other poor students. By this way, I hope to create more and more charity workers as time goes by.

In Malaysia, politicians steal rakyat money, get caught, charged in court meanwhile living happily and can still comment critically on social media and maybe even become economic advisors. In China, politicians steal money, get caught, detained in prison, after a short trial, deemed guilty, brought to the yard and shot. China used state resources efficiently in the name of socialism while over here we are democratically overblown. Wrong to compare China with Malaysia. We have more sympathy for the guilty.

Why you keep harping students don't thave to repay you? Tell us stories abt those sponsored graduates successfully helping others after graduation. That's more meaningful n interesting. Focus on yourself less.

He won't stop talking one. Instead, he would talk even more Chinese topics to keep his popularity in the heart of Chinese in i3investor. This is the way to gain more gullible believers. Investment side, he is far behind OTB... Have you ever seen OTB talk Chinese topics to gain popularity?

No matter how. Malaysia Chinese businessman are partly benefited from the business policies set up by the government (Malay politicians). Don't even think about our Malaysia Chinese businessman are so good like a god without a single dependent on the government policies.

There's only one way for him to stay relevant in i3 through churning out Chinese topic articles. The content of the article whether fakes or true is irrelevant. Prime objective is to prolonging popularity in the community like what politicians do in their routines.

Sell all the assets in Malaysia and balik Great China is the best to enjoy life. Why keep complaining and living in this small patato country? Not good to health man.
