BERNAS, is wholly owned by Syed Mokthar Al Bukhary, which Fahmi Fadzil's communication team had placed on their heads VIEW : after he called Anwar Ibrahim, Abang and kissed the Prime Minister's hand.
BERNAS out of the blue, has decided to communicate with the Malaysian public. One would have thought, Syed Mokthar was going to use the BERNAS platform to inform Malaysians,on why he gave BERSATU, RM195 million in secret.
NO such luck, instead BERNAS, had come up with a statement on how the company, READ : will assess international rice market prices, costs and foreign currency exchange rates in an effort to help the government offer imported e rice (BPI) at a lower price.
BERNAS, folks won't be able to get us imported rice at the lowest possible price, even if their lives dependend on it.
WHAT Bernas, did NOT tell the Malaysian public was that even when rice prices were low worldwide, Bernas was being laughed at, treated as a PARIAH, and made to PAY a higher rate than even THE FIRST WORLD NATION AND EXTREMELY RICH COUNTRY CALLED, SINGAPORE
THE Vietnamese Government, from whom BERNAS purchases a lot of rice, strictly in US Dollars,READ : humiliated Bernas, when it disclosed to the world that it actually sells rice to Malaysia, at an EXTRA US$70 dollars per tonne, then the price it sells to Singapore.
INDIA did something similar, when it told the Malaysian Government to its face, READ :the only way, Malaysia can get extra rice supply from India, is via a government to government deal, and NOT via Bernas.
BERNAS, though won't mind at all if it is slapped on the face and laughed at by major rice exporters, who see rice as a national security issue, hence the preference for Government to Government rice supply agreements.
SUCCESSIVE, MALAYSIAN Government's have attempted to prove that one can indeed have a different outcome, by doing the same cosmetic rearranging of chairs.
THUS far, they have failed. In the words of former MIC President, Samy Vellu ; Ini Semua, Kerja Orang Gila Lah!!!
