- "whether Bernas received subsidy on rice as in 2008"
- monopolies only benefited one party
- no help for rice supply chain for farmers, millers, wholesalers, retailers
- Covid-19 crisis should not be manipulated to profit one monopoly
OSTB : Tuan-tuan saudara Melayu kena faham bahawa system monopoli kroni, monopoli GLC, monopoli yang di"anugerah" oleh kerajaan dsbnya sudah tergelincir daripada system pasaran bebas (free market system).
Sistem monopoli 'anugerah' ini bukan termasuk system kapitalis pun. Lebih mirip sosialis dan komunis.
Dalam negara kita, system monopoli 'anugerah' ini lebih miskinkan orang Melayu dulu. Dalam kes ini Majlis Tindakan Ekonomi Melayu atau MTEM mewakili rungutan Malay Rice Millers Association Malaysia atau pengilang beras Melayu yang menghadapi tekanan akibat daripada dasar penyanggak (piracy) system monopoli anugerah.
Sila baca yang berikut. The following is from a comment by a reader. Thank you.

OSTB, You are RIGHT about food security and prices hitting the roof..
Who will be susah? Rakyat lah...
Rice millers, wholesalers complain being squeezed by “rice import cartel”
twice raised prices although retail prices are controlled
according to Majlis Tindakan Ekonomi Melayu (MTEM)
MTEM said complaints by Malay Rice Millers Association Malaysia
MTEM said rice imports controlled by agri ministry and Bernas
wholesale price of rice resold by cartels increased RM0.20
now increased yet again by RM0.40,” he said.
retailers cannot increase market prices
forced to bear small profit margin
MTEM called for official explanation if rice being imported weekly to meet demand
whether Bernas received subsidy on rice, as in 2008
Bernas, formed in 1996 has sole rights to import rice until 2021
Yazid urged govt to be fair in distributing rice to all wholesalers at reasonable price
Large companies enjoy privileges, make millions in profit
should not be taking advantage of others
rice industry must be transparent to ensure food security
also economic safety of Bumiputera industry players,” he said
time has come for new govt to review paddy and rice industry
monopolies only benefited one party
no help for rice supply chain from farmers, millers, wholesalers, retailers
Covid-19 crisis should not be manipulated to profit one monopoly
govt should develop full capacity of country’s food security
equally develop all industry players, especially farmers and SMEs
My comments :
Fuiyyo !! So did Bernas get the rice import subsidy?
If they did get the subsidy, then why did Bernas increase the wholesale prices?
UNTUNG DUA KALI KAH ??
Monopolies are not part of the free market system.
Monopolies are not part of the so called "capitalist" system either.
The free market system is very successful because ANYONE (even your grandmother) can enter any business and engage in any business that she likes.
If your grandmother wants to become a rice importer then she just imports rice and sells it.
The free market system has no place for monopolies.
In Malaysia we have the "system monopoli anugerah" where the government awards monopolies to its cronies and supporters.
The government has created the "system monopoli anugerah" as a direct result of the Dasar Ekonomi Baru or DEB.
The DEB was crafted by Tun Razak who was a socialist (a member of the socialist Fabian Society) and his friends who were also socialists and possibly pro communist.
The net result of this system monopoli anugerah is that somebody must become poor. This is a zero sum game.
In the complaint by the Malay Rice Millers Association Malaysia they say that they are being squeezed.
My suggestion is :
Bernas must absorb the higher cost of importing rice.
(Export prices of rice are increasing because Vietnam has stopped export and the Corona Virus is affecting supply chains all over the world).
Why must Bernas absorb the higher cost of importing rice?
1. Because Bernas is a monopoly. Bernas adalah monopoli anugerah yang dianugerahkan oleh dasar ekonomi bodoh (DEB) sebagai monopoli import beras.
In comparison there are many more members of the Malay Rice Millers Association Malaysia. They are not the monopoly rice importer like Bernas. They have no choice because Bernas is a monopoli anugerah.
So let Bernas absorb the higher cost of importing rice.
So let Bernas absorb the higher cost of importing rice.
2. Bernas can (or possibly already has) receive a subsidy from the government. This is what the Malay Rice Millers Association Malaysia is asking. Has Bernas also been paid a subsidy by the government to pay for higher prices of rice imports?
If Bernas has been paid a subsidy (using our taxpayers money) AND THEN they go and increase the price of rice then WAAAAAHHHH dia sudah makan dua kali.
This is what the Malay Rice Millers Association Malaysia is asking.
If Bernas has been paid a subsidy then why are they increasing the price of rice?
Untuk tampong Melayu korporat jadi kaya Melayu marhaen kena jadi miskin dulu.
