PARLIAMENT | Opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim and independent MP Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman have disputed whether bumiputera empowerment initiatives in the 12th Malaysian Plan (12MP) will help those in need.

They contended that such plans would benefit political masters and “cronies” instead of the poor.
