51% Bumiputera equity rule for logistics companies needs rethink, says Kian Ming

Why go for 51%? Just nationalise all the non bumi companies, MNCs listed public companies etc etc...

They come up with the 51% paid up capital first ok

Very misleading. Where is this ruling of 51 percent bumi equity for logistics companies. Its only for customs broking scope for goodness sake! Don't mislead.

Looking back to the past, who benefited from this? maybe just a handful of cronies.
