NEVER in my entire life have I seen a scandalous drama like this on budget day, but Anwar Ibrahim pulled it off to save his long time friend and protege Syed Mokthar Al Bukhary.
YES, the one and only Syed Mokthar Al Bukhary.
tell me I know bestI'm not the same as all the rest
I am the one and onlyNobody I'd rather beI am the one and onlyYou can't take that away from me.
LONG before, the one and only Syed Mokthar Al Bukhary , became identified as a stooge of Tun Mahathir, and way after he became rich but not famous, the one and only Syed Mokthar Al Bukhary was known to many as one of Anwar Ibrahim and Muhyiddin Yassin's main men in business.
YES, Syed Mokthar only got close to Tun Mahathir , after Anwar Ibrahim was no longer in the corridors of power, but apparently the friendship has stood the test of time.
IF not how else, can one describe Anwar Ibrahim personally thanking the Government for the Government's generousness and then attributing it to BERNAS? READ : Budget 2023: Bernas to share 30pc import profits with paddy farmers.
SO how is the Government so generous in this matter? Well because the Government owns the Golden share in Bernas, and Anwar Ibrahim has used Budget 2023 too allow Syed Mokthar to keep 70 per cent of the Approved Permit Rice Import and Export business market by serving crump's to the B40 farmers for a single year, after which it reverts back to 100 per cent for the billionaire.
ALL this in a budget where nearly 24.5 per cent of the budget is from borrowed money. Anwar Ibrahim's generosity to Syed Mokthar is definitely defining, on who the real Anwar Ibrahim is
