Use technology to end "Ali Baba practices", proposes Johari


PUTRAJAYA: A new database should be set up to allow any ministries to identify genuine business interactions between bumiputra and non-bumiputra business entities to put an end to Ali Baba practices," says Datuk Seri Johari Abdul Ghani.

The Plantation and Commodities Minister said if banks have the Credit Reference Information System (CCRIS) and CTOS credit database system as their reference for their customers, the government should have a similar database for their reference.
