Yeah reckons that the commitment of the present government to dismantle monopolies will inject new dynamism in the country’s business environment and spread out wealth creation and distribution more evenly.

WHILE hardly new, the idea of quashing monopolies and other anti-competitive practices in Malaysia has been gaining traction of late.
