In the recent UMNO (United Malays National Organisation) General Assembly, the delegates urged the National Front not to give any quarter in implementing the New Economic Policy, especially education. The 2% increase in the intake of non-bumiputra was too much for the bumiputra to accept.
One of the constituent delegates (from Johore) wanted the Government to keep tabs on non-bumiputras pursuing higher education overseas to ensure their numbers did not exceed the overall quota set out under the NEP.
