"You help me, and I help you"

I help you to get elected to the parliament. You get your (gaji) salary. You get the power. You make laws to make us pay more tax so that government get more money in the coffer. You use the power to make use of the government money. You use the government money and you say you help me. Damned idiot of me to agree with you and give you the vote!

Affirmative action stays, says PM

KUALA LUMPUR, April 4 — The government will not do away with its affirmative action policy, but it will be carried out in a fairer and more transparent manner to improve the lives of Malaysians in the bottom 40 per cent of the population, Datuk Seri Najib Razak (picture) said tonight.

The Prime Minister said the implementation of the policy would be more market-friendly, more merit-based and also more on needs basis.

Why "more" market-friendly, "more" merit-based and "more" on needs basis?  why not just say market-friendly, merit-base and also on needs basis? Why the reservation? Does it mean that the policy in questions were less market-friendly, less merit-based and less on needs basis before,  and now it is a little bit more? Especially a little bit more on needs basis.   So like before, the affirmative action still look after those who don't need and having the right connections?
