There's no need to apologise for anything.
The 'Princes of the Earth' (the exact English translation of
'bumiputera') policy is a nonsensical piece of crap aimed at
achieving Malay superiority at the expense of other races.
Harsh words from me, but that's the truth. I see no reason why any
race should be favoured over other races.
Heck, I think I can easily point out how the bumiputera policy goes
against the teachings of Islam.
