I know little about the Bumiputra issue.
I left in 1962, poorly "educated" and woefully ignorant of anything beyond Sibu, the little town that was my homeland.
What little I have come across over the years tells me that The Voice would have little similarity with the Bumiputra provisions.
The fundamental difference is that The Voice confers no material rights or privileges. It is a fraught compromise that the desperately weak, oppressed for 230 years, thought that they would be allowed to have to begin a dignified new start, without rancour. Alas, terra nullius intervened again!

thought that they would be allowed to have to begin a dignified new start,
Chek,
They have had every help one can possibly expect to receive but only a very few have accepted & made use of it.
Labor supporting Academia has chosen (for their own benefit) to indoctrinate the majority to believe the situation to be as you are trying to say it is which it is not.

The attitude of the 'losers' to the success of the NO vote is, I think, to be abhorred.
We live in a democracy.
We are very lucky that we do.
And, we make major decisions democratically.
That is the way we do business.

Their lack of understanding does not reflect well on those who cannot accept this.
The referendum was not a contest.
It merely sought to establish the majority view on particular matter.
And we proceed the way the majority decides.
That is our democracy at work.
Making decisions.

There is no room for active annoyance over the result.
We live in a modern era.
(we cannot live in the past)
And to prove this there is not a dinosaur in sight.

I might add that the high court recently changed its mind.
(keeping asylum seekers in indefinite detention unlawful)
That gives us hope?
Perhaps it can reverse the 'mabo' decision next, and get us out of this absurd impediment to logical thought which cloaks us all.
