A DAP leader has slammed the call by Perkasa for Malays to boycott Petronas petrol stations for one week to protest the firm’s decision to appoint a non-bumiputera company for a solar deal.

According to Astaka assemblyperson Jason Ng, the statement by the bumiputera rights NGO’s chief Syed Hasan Syed Ali not only reeked of racism but also went against the very basis of the country’s market, which practised fair, healthy competition.
