No Choice But To Raise The Bar For Bumi Contractors?

What do you think of this paragraph from Star Online Nation "Government raises bar for bumi contractors"?:

Entrepreneur and Cooperative Development Minister Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin said the Government had no choice but to raise the standard because there was a need for quality and to ensure that bumiputra contractors compete in a globalised age.

One could be that the real meaning was lost in translation. Otherwise, it would only mean previously there was no need for quality, no?
