It’s time to end ‘Ali Baba’ culture

PETALING JAYA: Instead of being honest brokers running their own business, some of them have turned to the “Ali Baba” way of making money – which is when business licences and permits are abused and “rented out” to those who are not eligible, such as foreigners.

Mohd, 56, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said he rented out his premises and sundry shop to a foreigner who was willing to run the business.
