WELL, it's a billion ringgit revenue business, with over 190 petrol stations cum mini markets throughout, rural Malaysia.
IT is ultimately owned by a Bumi entity ; Zaiyadal Sdn Bhd, operating from its headquarters out of Megan Avenue II, Kuala Lumpur.
NOTICE, that Buraqoil does not operate as a Malay company nor does it, offer services to only Malays, as it serves everyone who can afford to pay for its products.
SO what is all this about, one may ask. Well it is about business being colour blind, and that there are rules to doing business.
THESE days, a vast majority of us know that Antonio Meucci and Johann Philipp Reis were the true inventors of the telephone, while Alexander Graham Bell had the wisdom to patent the product.
THIS week, I came across a VIEW : a tik tok clip, claiming Chinese companies are selling Malay kueh's as peranakan delicious cookies.
THE moderator, seem to claim that this is something wrong, vile and racial, while totally ignoring the facts, coming out of the USA, that most black based business tend to fail because they tend to target only one community.
YOU maybe a racist, I might be one too, but if we are going to offer a business service, we need to understand that business is colour blind, and if we feel very strongly about something, instead of bitching about it, go get it patented.
