KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysian Indians need a RM500mil unit trust fund run by Permodalan Nasional Berhad (PNB), the national equity corporation, to achieve the Government’s objective of doubling their equity ownership to 3% by 2010, according to experts.
They suggested that concerted efforts be made to address the community’s lowly stake in the national economy under the Ninth Malaysia Plan which begins next year to provide them with easier access to business loans, training, licences, permits and facilities.
