KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 13 (Bernama) -- The Malay Businessmen and Industrialists Association of Malaysia (Perdasama) hopes the Budget 2013 to be tabled on Sept 28 does not neglect the interests of Malay businessmen and the Bumiputera agenda.

Perdasama Deputy President Datuk Seri Matshah Safuan said the benefits of economic development should be shared irresepctive of race or religion.

"We do not need to bring in foreign contractors to implement development projects in the country considering the many skilled Bumiputera contractors in this field.

"We see there are government-approved projects stil to be implemented, so we think if these projects are lumped together in the same group of projects, we can channel these projects to our members and at the same time help the government complete the projects," he told reporters after the 14th Perdasama anuual general meeting here Thursday.

The AGM was officiated by Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Tan Sri Nor Mohamed Yakcop.
