RACKETEERING is a type of organized crime in which the persons set up a coercive, fraudulent, extortionary, or otherwise illegal coordinated scheme.
KEDAH Menteri Besar, Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor in an open letter to Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim describes the paddy cartel as having a hold READ : Dari benih subsidi padi sampai ke timbangan dan potong basah di kilang, dari traktor, jetuai hinggalah kepada lori, dari input baja, racun, kuota benih dan variety, dari parit gila hingga ke MAFI, dari PPK hingga ke NAFAS, semuanya berada dalam mulut naga.
THE Nasional Farmers Association or NAFAS which is a government organisation since 2021 is headed by Zamri Yaakob, who is ex Prime Minister' Ismail Sabri's brother.
A year before that READ : Nafas was appointed as the sole distributor for the Certified Paddy Seed Incentive programme, meaning paddy farmers whi want to be part of the government paddy subsidy scheme must get the paddy seeds from NAFAS.
SUPPORT on the existence of a secretive paddy cartel, comes from no other than Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, who as opposition leader of the Pakatan Harapan pact identified Bernas, a unit owned by tycoon Syed Mokthar Al Bukhary as part of the cartel.

UNTIL today, the Muhyiddin Yassin and Ismail Sabri tag team Prime Ministership have never explained on why it reversed a Government approved plan to liberalise the import of rice.
MUHYIDDIN Yassin reversed this plan during the bitter lock down period when Parliament was suspended by extending Bernas concession for another ten years, and READ : 76 days latter, purely out of the goodness of his heart, Syed Mokthar donated RM195 million to Bersatu.
AND then READ : Semua orang tahu apa yang sedang terjadi dalam sektor padi, orang pekak dan buta saja yang tak dapat lihat dan dengar apa yang saya cakap
PERHAPS, the man who should hold a higher responsibility for all this is none other than the man who deliriously want Zahid Hamidi to be ousted as UMNO president, so that support for Anwar Ibrahim can be shifted to Muhyiddin Yassin.
MEET Ismail Sabri, the ninth Prime Minister of Malaysia, who since 2014 have been giving the paddy farmers a nice song and dance tune with his pro Bernas stance. READ : Syed Mokthar gaining sole control of Bernas is a good deal for Paddy Farmers, says Ismail Sabri, claiming that Syed Mokthar had given him his personal undertaking, thar Bernas would be relisted by 2019
OBVIOUSLY, those personal undertakings were merely hot air, but now Ismail Sabri is jumping like a women on heat, the moment Anwar Ibrahim wants to free the paddy farmers from a bunch that has been sucking their blood for decades.
