I HAVE been reading with interest the growing dispute between the Malaysian newspaper publishers and Malaysian Newsprint In- dustries (MNI), the countrys only newsprint producer.
The International Trade and Industry Ministry (Miti) is in the middle, playing the role of arbitrator. It has found in favour of MNI and has imposed, from May 28, provisional anti-dumping duties ranging from 8% to 43%. Unless Miti or the government changes its stand within 120 days, the anti-dumping duties will be effective for five years.
