1,000 new Agro Bazar Kedai Rakyat but Indians excluded

This year more than 40 new Agro Bazar shops are being targeted with 1,000 new shops in the 10th Malaysia Plan (UM 1/1/2010 at page 4 Mega Fokus).

In the past 12 years in this business Muhamad Idris has bought a his own house for RM 100,000.00 besides having bought a shop house, a food shop, a boat and a van.

But we do not know of any Malaysian Indian who has been given an opportunity to own any of these Agro Bank shops and the upward mobility opportunities that comes with it like what came for Muhamad Idris.

And opportunities for Indians to participate in the upcoming 1,000 new Agro Bazar Kedai Rakyat are denied.
