00:00A political analyst has dismissed former Senate President Rais Yatim's call for the government

00:05to form a new ministry dedicated to looking after the interests of the Bumi Putra.

00:11University Science Malaysia's Azim Fazwan Ahmad Farooq said Putrajaya would be better

00:17off coordinating the functions of the existing agencies to prevent overlaps and ensure the

00:22orderly implementation of policies.

00:25He added that agencies like Majlis Amanah Rakyat and the Prime Minister's Department's

00:30Bumi Putra Agenda Steering Unit already play key roles in Bumi Putra development.

00:36He said that establishing a new ministry is unnecessary because there are already too

00:42many agencies meant to look after Bumi Putra interests.

00:46Separately, Azmi Hassan of Academy Nusantara said, a ministry of the sort could help clearly

00:52interpret and define Article 153 of the Federal Constitution to ensure that Bumi Putra policies

00:59remain consistent regardless of which party is in government.

01:03He said the implementation of Bumi Putra policies depended on how the government of the day interprets

01:09the provision.
