Is this affirmative action, cronyism or plain old discrimination?!! Art.153 is being given an elastic interpretation, all under the cover of bureaucratic procedures! Hope this will go to court. PN government is kicking the can down the road without addressing the core issue!

Anyway the trick is set up in Singapore and come in that way

This is China guys ! Minus the reserves , minus common prosperity , minus the logic . Makes me puke

One way out of it Never ever give to the umno-pn-pus scums. Choose amongst the Melaka Portuguese, Sabahan and Sarawakians - they are Bumipitra too

Dimintanya diri dipapah, Sedangkan dah diberinya tongkat; Enam dekad berlalu sudah, Sifat pergantungan terpahat jadi adat!

Greedy. Come on. You go work for it if you want a share of the business. Such naked greed!!

Rest of the country moving forward. Only Malaysia moving backward. Welcome back to BN era

Always remember Zimbabwe never forget what happened there ! They did the same thing and look at the country now !

Damn.. imagine business owner are forced to handover controlling stake 51% of your company. No one in their right mind would like it. There are better way to help bumi not this way. Give them grant/knowledge/partner to enter the logistics business.

Heading to become worst than a communist state. At least a communist state is equal for all.

Never ending silliness in the country. This age of technology is making race based economic policies so outdated. Malaysia is going to lose the next generations of entrepreneurs

Govt promoting racism

Why PH in power didn't eliminate such issues? Instead of Platitudinize it till today.

I can only say this government is worst than the communist.Bye-bye fair trade and democracy

Wow. Talk about taking your rice bowl away from you.

Time to make new plans
