KUALA LUMPUR: The movement to boycott products of non-Bumiputeras brings no benefit to any party, Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail said.
He said Malaysians by right should be celebrating societal diversity and take advantage of its strengths and benefits, especially with regards to the economy.
“Respect and trust among one another is the key to a nation’s economic prosperity.
“It is this trait of supporting one another that has driven the country’s economic activities and helped it prosper,” he told reporters when met at the i-Keep sales carnival here yesterday.
There is an ongoing campaign on social media by certain quarters to boycott goods produced by non-Bumiputeras and to buy Bumiputera products instead. — Bernama
