Anwar: Rice firm Bernas de-listed for a crony

Kim Quek: With the import AP (approved permit) just extended to 2021, and well-known Umno frontman Syed Mokhtar Al-Bukhary taking the entire Bernas private presently, it does mean that Umno now enjoys the full fruits of absolute monopoly of the rice trade and rice import for the next eight years - at the expense of farmers and consumers throughout the country.

Is that an indication of what we can expect from PM Najib Razak's much trumpeted ‘transformation' in his post-GE13 administration?

CiViC: Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim is wrong. The delisting of national rice company Bernas does not benefit Syed Mokhtar alone. This is BN's sleight of hand trick, whatever benefits Syed Mokhtar, a portion goes to Umno.

SpongeBob: A case of one Malay ripping off the shares of other Malays, which is endorsed by the party championing the Malays. One minute it is ‘ketuanan Melayu', the next it is one Melayu ripping off the other. What a joke.

Odin: What is there to belly ache about? After all, very many Malays don't seem to mind being sucked dry, or seeing their fellow Malays squeezed out of every sen they have got, as long as their fellow Muslims such as Syed Mokhtar become filthy rich.

Or maybe they don't have enough sense to realise that they have been and are being royally buggered.

The only sense they have is to lay claim on the word ‘Allah' and to persecute Christians, to cook up stories to incriminate Christians, to persecute Hindus, to demolish chapels and temples.

Satay Satay: How can the bumiputera expectations of controlling 30 percent of economy be achieved when only the same rich people reap the wealth from other Malaysians.

Never play shares at Bursa Malaysia. They allow parties or counters to list and delist as they choose.

Cmfoo: This is a prime example of what to expect some years down the line for our Felda folks. We don't need a business genius to figure this out.

Our hearts goes out to the simple Felda folks that has toiled the land, persevered and make it what it is.

'Marina, resign from SIS to distance self from Comango'

Fairnsquare: It is really sad to see that Muslims do not realise that laws will not prevent homosexuals and lesbians, only spiritual guidance will.

Freedom of religion, including becoming an apostate, removing syariah laws, recognising the rights of the lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transgenders (LGBT) and the freedom to propagate Shi'ite are basic human rights, which will be demanded sooner or later when society progresses.

Only through correct spiritual guidance will total victory over these be achieved and not rules and regulations. We are in a modern world and have to face realities. Going against Marina Mahathir or any organisation will not change what will eventually be a reality.

Provide adequate spiritual guidance so that people are able to choose right from wrong. Therein lies the solution.

Anonymous_408d: I hope Marina, who sits on the board of Sisters of Islam (SIS), refuses to fall for this cheap trick that the National Muslim Youth Association (Pembina) is trying to play on her. If she "obeys" them and resigns from SIS, she will have played right into their scheming hands.

They detest SIS and would like nothing better than to see the organisation deprived of the support and membership of someone as globally recognised and admired as Marina.

Borg Kinaulu: Ikatan Muslimin Malaysia (Isma), prepare to get sued. Taxpayers, prepare to foot the bills.

Show me a religion that's not against the progress of human society and you have found yourself a good religion.

Proarte: Marina should for once stand firm on her principles if she is really a supporter of human rights.

Threatening to sue Comango (Coalition of Malaysian Non-Governmental Organisations) gives the unfortunate impression that she is not in favour of human rights which includes freedom of worship and sexual minority rights.

Which of Comango's agenda does Marina finds so offensive that she is willing to sue if wrongly associated with it?

Marina should have the guts to stand up unequivocally for human rights and stop trying to have her cake and eating it by trying to appease the right-wing of Umno, which her father represents.

Sarajun Hoda: It really sounds as they are saying PM Najib Razak should be arrested and jailed as a punishment for every crime committed in this country since he is ruling this country and thus responsible for everything and cannot claim ignorance.

What logic is this? LGBT cannot be Muslims and hence have no rights whatsoever in Malaysia? The Shiites are not Muslims? They threatened national sovereignty? I feel sorry for the mental state of these people.

Malaysian Born: Yes keep talking, let's see how smug you are when you are in court and only facts have relevance.

This kind of cheap talk and empty threats have no place in serious issues and letting this riffraff get away with slander just because they bring Islam into the conversation, should not be tolerated.

Anonymous #40538199: It is the rakyat's constitutional freedom to be associated with any legal human rights association. If they don't like such freedom for the rakyat, they can emigrate.
