Iron Malayan
The absence of Malays on billionaire lists have been very misleading and totally out of touch with reality.
I think it is caused by 2 factors

a) Much (if not all) of their assets are still privately held
b) In contrast to ethnic Chinese billionaires who love to flaunt wealth, Malay billionaires prefer to keep a low profile. It’s the racial trait of Malays.

My list here may not include all Malay billionaires because identifying every single one of them is not easy
This is what I have come up with so far.

Syed Mokhtar Al-Bukhary
His flagship company MMC is in the process of acquiring Malakoff. Later on he may find a large investor to buy a stake in Malakoff but as things stand now, his stake in MMC inclusive of Malakoff is around US$2 billion.
His stakes in MARDEC, Bernas, Bank Muamalat, Senai Airport, Tradewinds Corporation, Albukhary Foundation and other listed and unlisted companies would add another US$2 billion.

Daim Zainuddin
This banking magnate is the epitome of enigmatic Bumiputra billionaires. He is so secretive that the controlling stake in Alliance bank/Malaysian Plantations which is held under someone else’s name is said to actually belong to him. His main asset is the ICB Financial Group based in Switzerland. Financial figures for this bank is not available but it had 1,100 employees in 2004.
A highly competitive bank with that number of employees is usually worth around US$1.1 billion. That was 2 yrs ago. If the bank was really growing at 60% annually as reported here, http://www.daimzainuddin.com/DaimandHisBanks.htm
Daim’s 100% stake in ICB would be worth US$2.7 billion now. He also owns a number of energy companies in Africa and Central Asia. As for the value of those energy companies ……… your estimate is as good as mine.

SM Nasimuddin
Judging by this year’s sales volume, his flagship company Naza Motors is set to register revenue of ~6 billion Ringgit. In Malaysia, a highly profitable car company is valued at roughly the same price as the revenue figure. Since Naza has been in talks to buy a 40% interest in Proton and is also planning to build another billion Ringgit factory in India in addition to a similar sized factory it is building in Bertam, we can assume that Naza is a very profitable company awash in cash. Therefore the market value for Naza can be estimated to be 6 bil Rgt or $1.7 billion. Adding his other assets, Nasimuddin’s net worth should be closer to $2 billion.

Halim Saad
His wholly owned oil company Markmore Energy has a 55% interest in a 900 million barrels African oil field. His share of 500 million barrels would be worth not less than $3 billion. Once his 200,000 ton biodiesel plant and his construction firm Metro Ikram are in full swing, his net value will swell by another $2 bil.

If they were more open about their assets, Daim Zainuddin or Halim Saad may well be recognized as the richest Malaysian; and they are much younger than Robert Kuok.

Within a year or two, these four Bumiputra billionaires will be joined by Naser Ismail
the owner of Solarin and founder of Denmark Solar Industry. These two firms are building a billion Rgt solar panel manufacturing plant complete with polysilicon production facilities. A plant of this size will be producing ~$300 million in sales when fully operational. A fully integrated solar cell maker such as Renewable Energy Corp is usually valued at 10 times revenue. That means the joint venture between Solarin and DSI will be worth ~$4 billion if other assets are included. Exactly how many billion dollars Datuk Naser Ismail will be worth depends on his equity in DSI and Solarin’s stake in the joint venture.

BTW, the main purpose of this thread is to refute arguments made by Malay hater crackpots out there who claim that Malays still could not excel despite running the govt.
malaysia is no future
To me, Ketuanan Melayu is the false notion of malay greatness or malay supremacy. Truth is - there is nothing to associate the malay race with greatness.

By any widely accepted standards, it will be obvious to see that the malay race does not qualify to be called one of the great races of this world. Truth is that the Chinese and Indians have a culture accomplished far greater and much more than these jokers have.

It should be Chinese and Indian supremacy in Malaysia. The only reason why malays have power in Malaysia is because they have the biggest population, and the racist rhetoric of the malay Umno politicians always sway the malay vote towards themselves.

Anyway, back to the untrue notion of Ketuanan Melayu. Let us see what malays have accomplished. Has any malay won the Nobel Prize - no. Has any malay been nominated for the Nobel Prize - most probably not.

By contrast, numerous Chinese and Indians have won the Nobel Prize and various other awards. The Chinese and Indian diaspora is widely recognized as two of the three most successful diasporas in history, the other being the Jewish diaspora. All over the world, Chinese and Indians have become successful artists, CEOs, doctors, filmmakers, scientists, writers, etc, etc.

Name one malay who is widely recognized around the world in his or her field. The only malay whose name might be recognized out of this country is Mahathir, and he is part Indian. Is malay culture recognized as a world renowned culture - no.

Malay culture, if cultures were ranked, would be close to the bottom. What is their culture compared to the great Chinese and Indian cultures that are centuries old and really rich! The Chinese and Indians have a 5000 years old history during which China and India have played a very important part in world history.

Nobody knew about malays until the Indian kings of south India first came here. That is why the oldest archeological remains in Malaysia, in Lembah Bujang, are Hindu temples.

The malay sultanate itself was started by a Hindu - Parameswara. And even at the height of its power, the Malacca sultanate was nothing more than a vassal of the Chinese emperor.

Have any malay architect designed anything worthwhile - no. Have any malay author won the Booker Prize or the Pulitzer Prize - no. Have any malay filmmaker won an Oscar - no. Have the malays achieved anything in sports - no.

Chinese and Indians have achieved all this. So there is no real Ketuanan Melayu. It is a fiction concocted by racist stupid politicians to keep the "kampung malays" happy thinking that they have had a glorious past.

They don't. Their history isn't worth mentioning. You would never find a mention of malays or Malaysia or Tanah Melayu in most books of world history while entire chapters are devoted to the history of China and India.

The discriminative constitution and law of Malaysia is just a recognition of this fact. The malay leaders and to every single malay knows that on a level playing field, the malays will never be able to compete with the Chinese and Indians.

For sure Malay produce much better and worthed than chinese. Malay with number only 1% of chinese succesfully put 17 companies in the top 100 of companies from Muslim world last year. Company such as Petronas, Tenaga national, Sime Darby, Telekom Malaysia, Maybank Group, MAS and many more which ownned and managed by Malays are in about top 50 of the list.

And don't forget, Malays are the only people in Asia after Japanese and Korean who have designed and built car engines which pass euro emission test (Petronas and Proton company).

The Chinese population outnumbers the Malaysian population by about 50:1. That's not exactly a fair comparison.

A simple example - Singapore have a much smaller population than malaysia,mostly chinese like about 70%.And Malaysia with all the reservations of civil jobs and advantages in the education to the malays,seems to be able to only have that "much" of accomplishment. Rofl and Singapore started out from scratch in 1965.If you wanna compare the 1.5 billion chinese,why not compare yourself with the 2.8 million chinese here ?And for your info the population in China is 1.3 billion icon_smile.gif.Just accept it,and the thing is,everyone is equal in singapore and it seems like the chinese proved thier worth in the fair competition.

Since some of you live in Singapore, do you know anything about Ong Tjoe Kim who founded Metro Holdings. He is 98 years old and still working.


http://www.metro.com.sg/storefront/Content...p?ContentId=510


Listed on the Singapore stock exchange since 1973, Metro Holdings was founded by its chairman Ong Tjoe Kim in 1957, who hailed from Indonesia, at the age of 49. The business started out as a textile store at a two-storey shophouse on 72 High Street, where the Treasury Building now sits. A movie buff, Mr Ong named the store after Hollywood studio Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM).

Firstly.. u cant compare chinese with malays.. because the chinese are much more civilised than other races.. all the brilliant philosophy, methods and culture from their ancestors were still being practised till today.. and i think that is the key for their achievement.. so is to other races, look at their culture and what their religion advocate to..
Its stupid to say such thing as u made a conclusion based on a situation without taking points on what affects it.

juz something to add when talking about the chinese business principles. Chinese believe in helping each other in their clanship but trust and integrity is one important thing the chinese believe mostly. You need to show to them that you are the man of your words, you are to show your true honesty, integrity and dedication.

Only then you will be accepted by the community. Once trust is established, doing business is fairly easy. Chinese work within their network and everybody know each other and they work really hard and nothing is spare. They strongly believe in good fortune and luck and sometimes they over do it

They believe everything has to be in moderation and there are only occassions that their fortunes are being publicised.

Indian and Malays unfortunately..... sadly but true are less hardworking and they forget their roots when they are up there of being somebody. Fortunately in Malaysia, being the majority, Malays are being helped by the govt but the Indian are left with no helping hand

This is my take and my personal opinion and not trying to pick a fight with anyone. It is also based on my experience in dealing with each ethnicity.

I see from my very eyes of the situation everywhere...

Malays.....once they reach where they wanted.....they will be satisfied

Indians .....there are some who wants to be better than malays like being a lawyer, doctors and so forth....and they stops there

Malays and Indian....very few of them look back at their roots and help those who are in needs.

Chinese.....although they have reached higher than anybody else....they are still not satisfied...money is God... ever see many ah pek drives a continental car with torn white pagoda t-shirt with shorts and sandal??

But the beauty with the chinese clanship is that...they help each other provided you have established trust within the clanship

Almost half of China population are below poverty line according to western standard. Access to sanitation and access to public utilities such as water in many part of China even in big cities slump area just not far difference with Sub-Saharan African countries. You can do your homework and check the same stats for Malaysian.
Singapore? ...well this island in 1965 already had British infrastructure, management and ruling legacy well in tact and strategically located in busy strait beside It just small city state with less future to grow. Actually the praisal should go to Brunei have built something from scratch.

It shouldn't be about race it should be about nationality, the topic starter is a racist and a bigot who has been banned from this site because of his bigotry. Malaysians should be proud that there are Malaysian billionaires be they Chinese Indian or Malay. Having said that, it saddens me that there are people with so much wealth in Malaysia when there are so many people below the poverty line who can't afford basic health care. I think Malaysians should be more proud if they can eradicate poverty.

Most of the Indians in Malaysia are ethnic Tamils. There are also Tamils from Srilanka in large numbers in Malaysia. Tamils are not known for their business acumen, most of them prefer a job rather than setting up a business. I have heard that there are some Punjabis and Gujaratis in trace amounts in Malaysia. These Punjabis and Gujaratis do business there.

Half of the population ?? Where did you get ur figure from m8 ? Well from this western source, it is only 10% of the population

http://www.theodora.com/wfbcurrent/china/china_economy.html

And Malaysia is not that far away with 8 %

http://www.theodora.com/wfbcurrent/malaysi...ia_economy.html

And all these figures come from a so called western source called CIA factbook.

And can you please show us some picture of China's slums ?

Any countries can give out data about their poverty rate and make themself feeling better, but we can draw conclution by looking at Population living on less than $2/day, as you can see China account at rate 47% living less than $2/day.

Your data is old it was 1998, Malays already progressing rapidly, beside standard of living and Quality living benchmark of Malaysia much higher than China hence the poverty definition would be hgher threshold than China
It is difficult to find poverty rate of Malaysia currently because it is close to 0 < 2%, even by looking at population living on less than $2/day, Malaysia rate account only 9.3% of population.

Its difficult to use the Western standard for definition of poverty and apply it effectively to the world. US$2 perday in Aust wouldn't get you anywhere, US$2 per day in Malaysia would get you further and US$2 in China would get you further still. Furthermore most factory workers in China get paid very little maybe even less then $2 per day but, accomodation and food are provided by their employers. Farmers would earn less then US$2 per day but would be self sufficient in terms of food. I personally think a better measure of poverty would be your income relative to your ability to feed, house and cloth yourself, basic necessities of living.

Standard of living and quality living benchmarks are not a reflection of poverty levels.

Besides who cares what poverty levels in China are, levels in Malaysia are the only ones that matter. Furthermore if you want to compare China as a reflection of the Chinese in Malaysia, then perhaps a better comparison would be China and the indiginous people of the Indonesian archapeligo rather then the Malays in Malaysia.

I have no ideas whom the thread is trying to compare with. Chinese vs Malays in Malaysia, Malays vs Chinese in Malaysia, Chinese vs Malaysians, or ...?

I am not particularly interested in the original discussion. The richness of billionaires (Malays or Chinese, in Malaysia or elsewhere) can't tell much about many pictures of any particular country with a great population (as in China or Malaysia), especially when such a country is quite divided or unbalanced economically. For most countries in the world, China is too populous country to compare with.

Your data about China is even more dated.

http://earthtrends.wri.org/povlinks/povert...esource_ID=2088

They are about 1996, before the Asia economic crises of 1998-1999. China was the least affected by the crisis among the closedly related sizeable economies there. It helped to combat that crisis. Its growth rate averaged about 9-10% since 1996.

See this chart?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Prc1952-2005gdp.gif

It has had years of nation wide "wiping out poverty" campaign by the central government. Its norminal GDP per capita was only about $695 in 1996 (source: World Bank), but it was estimated to be about $2000 in 2006. See the percentage change? Since last year, dollars are falling, and the Chinese currency is rising. So, the norminal GDP per capita should have another great year. And China should be #3 economy in the world by now. $2 should be upgraded to $6 today (if everything else had been unchanged). However, purchaching Power is a better measurement than DP...

(Notice that Malaysia only recovered to the 1996 level around 2005, by the same measure: GDP per capita.)

In comparison the 13 million malays already have engineered 2 car engines plus another one for small bike

ok...ok....sekarang nak cakap dalam bahasa melayu. (i translate them just below of this text - sorry, i think my english is quite broken)...apa pun. sebenarnya aku mesti cakap, cina mmg hebat. dlm Islam pun, ada pepatah berbunyi "BELAJAR BIAR SAMPAI KE NEGARA CHINA". Memang, tapi kita tak boleh nak menafikan kemunculan syarikat dan billionaire melayu kat Malaysia dan dunia.

Ttg syrkt2 mcm Proton, Air-Asia dan lain2. Kalau tak pernah dengar sangat tentang Proton dekat luar negara nampak sangat BODOH. kalau nak lebih lanjut baca nie http://isuhangat.blogspot.com/search?q=proton

dia maklumkan di UK, Proton sangat popular. (bkan nak kutuk, tapi Mr Bean pun ada kereta Proton saga. aaa, kalau korang telepas pandang NASIB LAAA) anyway, mmg syarikat kita nampak kecil, tapi perlahan2 dia akan membesar dan semua org akan nampak. Tengok Lotus dah join Proton

So, renung2kan lah ek....



(Translation) ok, firstly, i must say that Chinese are a great people, n China is a great Nation. Even US is afraid of them. Even in Islam, there is a saying, "Learn until u can go to China". However, we cannot ignore the Malay companies and billionaires in Malaysia n in the world.
It is quite an silly n ignorance person for someone to not know about Proton, Air Asia company. read more at http://isuhangat.blogspot.com/search?q=proton

I don't want to get into a which race is better then the other but, I think you made a few mistakes. From memory, I think Air Asia is owned by an Indian. And I think Lotus is owned by Proton or at least was owned by Proton, so I don't think it was a voluntary joint venture anyway. A positive note though is that in their newer cars Proton has incorporated technology from Lotus. The not so good news is that Lotus hasn't been doing well because their technology and quality control has lagged behind their main rivals. I think maybe even Proton has sold Lotus already.
