SUPP Women chief Kho Teck Wan

KUCHING: The Finance Ministry should focus on business-friendly policies to help the nation's economy recover instead of imposing the 51% bumiputra equity requirement for freight forwarding companies, says the Sarawak United People's Party (SUPP).

Its women's wing chief, Kho Teck Wan, asked if the requirement under the New Economic Policy, which was introduced in 1971, was still relevant in current times.
