The government will take action against holders of approved permits (AP) who abuse the opportunities to make a quick buck, said prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad. He said that the government would move to revoke such opportunities granted to those who are eligible, but instead chose to sell them to third parties, the Malay Mail reports.
Citing the granting of open APs as an example, he said that such chances were aimed at narrowing the economic and income gap between communities. “We know that under the New Economic Policy (NEP), when we created opportunities for those who are poor to get a share of the nation’s wealth, there were those who abuse the opportunities created. As how we are aware, when they receive contracts for example, they sell the contracts,” he said.
“There are those who get opportunities for AP or other aid from the government, but they find the easy way out, by selling these chances to other parties for a fast profit. In the end, when the money they get is finished being spent, they continue living in poverty like before,” he added.
He lamented the greed of those who wish to make a fast profit through the opportunities given to them, saying that such abuses are obstructing the government’s vision and policies to bridge the economic gap.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Easy to talk, why didn’t he revoke the APs during his 22 year reign?
Because they sponsored his current reign of course. Again, will they take action? Naah!! Just another lip service by Pakatan UTurn.
How long must we live a lie when we know all the APs are sold off to other people?

Yes Kunta, better to help other people and not themselves.
At least BN politicians didn’t buy themselves Toyota Velfires and Honda Accords with our taxpayer money.
Why these people still want bantuan kerajaan, diskaun, special privileges, biasiswas etc etc?
50 tahun tak cukup ke? Mana maruah ni?
that time he is in BN..this time in PH…its not the same..in BN, corruption is a culture
in BN, corruption is a culture..we cud only exist.
So you’re telling us corruption in BN is not acceptable but corruption PH is now acceptable? What kind of double standards does PH people subscribe to nowadays?
1970 New Economic Policy (NEP) epic BN failure. After 50 years, only Shame our country.
When the money we get is finished being spent, we continue living in poverty like before, tongkat.
Oh and History 101. AP wasn’t part of NEP. It was a Madey idea and he parked it under NEP but in truth it was never an NEP concept.
Politicians abused nep for their personal interest. NEP is communism/ socialism in disguise. Wealth sharing ideas bankrupt countries before and even russia, sweden and china abandoned it.
Sweden still has welfare socialism and this made them the envy of EU countries.
Hinting that AP cronyism will continue? Thank you my Bapa Kroni Malaysia. You scratch our backs, we scratch yours no matter you are with BN or PH or PB. He he he he he he…..
Crony to help the majority. Their work is to songlap their own country dry
Under declared ckd tax & now, songlap AP.
Mestilah kroni bantu majoriti, tengok je majoriti keluarga PM7, semua sudah didaddykasikan sampai kaya. Kalau kroni tak bantu majoriti diaorg mana boleh diaorg semua jadi kaya. Takkan le nak bantu seorg duaorg je.
Enough of this AP nonsense la. This BS has been going on for decades! This AP system was designed to reward cronies! Scrap it and make it transparent so that anyone who wants an AP can bid for it. This old man has to leave asap!
Get rid of AP, NAP, NEP and affirmative policy. Let Malaysia progress based on merit.
People should be selected based on merit.
Terbongkar. Bab cilok2 oghang kite No.1! Hehehe
The old man is getting senile. He has been saying the same crap since the 90’s!! Screw the AP system!
APs are openly sold…the whole world knows that..
Tok tok only this gomen. Oledi since many many many years ago ap holder cekik cekik customer and quick profit. Did gomen do anything? No! Tok tok only since lastime lastime oledi still no action. Songlap only in action.
Exactly, Shared Prosperity Vision 2030 SPV blueprint way more promising to increase the incomes of all ethnic groups, particularly us Bumi.
All talk. Same reasoning given since a decade ago or more.
Projek, kontrak, tender Dan songlap berpisah tiada
You can revoke the 300mil/annum x 15 years contract with Naza first.
That’s all that matters.
Just get the bloody AP system off. Does nothing
DEB or NEP will remain forever, if everyone still categorize each Malaysian with Bumi, Malay, Chinese, Indian and many others. Which politician or party willing to remove all these? All with own agenda and they are not for the long term benefits for its Rakyat who voted for them.
hahaha…what a joke in 2020!. Revoke opportunities konon?? I say, in reality that are more and widespread of cronies in 2020 la.
AP holders are the same Ali Baba-robber gang that robs rakyat, making tonnes of money from “selling” high priced vehicles. This has been going on for 2 decades. and counting.
No surprise there.
As usual, NATO(No Action Talk Only). Those who knows Hokkien, it’s CKLPS.
So when will the enforcement start,Tun?
No GOVT will have political will to demolish AP in Malaysia, nobody!
Need to put these as manifesto next time. Haha.
Head clown from ph circus bullshitting again, why need ap,just to enrich your bloody cronies? Help those M40 &B40 who are struggling every month to cari makan only.
