PM Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim would have scored some “public relations point with his intended audience” by zeroing in on Tan Sri Syed Mokhtar Albukhary’s rice business and chiding the Bumiputera businessman, he should not be solely targetting the tycoon who controlled Padiberas Nasional Bhd (BERNAS), says blogger Datuk A. Kadir Jasin. He says Anwar should break more monopolies, not only BERNAS.
“If he’s really serious about breaking up monopolies and unfair concessions, he should not start and stop with just Syed Mokhtar,” the veteran journalist penned in a recent Facebook post.
“There are many more monopolies and oligopolies – some of which dated back to the time when he was Deputy Prime Minister (DPM) and Finance Minister back in the 1990s. Surely, he hasn’t forgotten.”
More monopolies should go: Kadir Jasin
