SO, what is the little secret of BERNAS ten year concesssion with the Federal Government that is being burried from the eyes of THE MALAYSIAN PUBLIC.
THANKS to a few goodmen, those tiny secrets were revealed to members of Parliament late last year.

COURTESY of The Edge, below is a snapshot of what LOKMAN reportedly disclosed ;;
LOKMAN in the proceedings said that in the ministry’s view, the role of stabilising rice prices is “a role for the government and not placed on the consideration of companies or concession holders”.
“THAT is why in the latest concession agreement, we make improvements by looking at the real objective where the government should fully play the role of stabilising rice prices in the market, as it not only involves this ministry but [also] other ministries as well,” he said.
