Provide a level playing field for young entrepreneurs

I had just attended a talk organised by Genovasi. The invited speaker, Malek Ali enthralled the crowd with stories on how he set an entrepreneurial culture in his smallish business radio station BFM 89.9. It was an interesting topic presented by a charismatic entrepreneur but I had other thoughts on my mind.

If you look at the radio industry in Malaysia, it is dominated by three major media groups. Astro owns AMP Radio which is a clear leader with first mover advantage. Then you have The Star Publications with Star Radio and Media Prima with its MP Radio stations. All three are multi media giants in their own right with strong political affiliations.
