Notes

1

Amendments to the PPPA were passed by both Houses of the Parliament in the first half of 2012, and came into force mid-year. Amongst other changes, they remove the need to reapply each year for a print and publication permit, and allow a person aggrieved by the minister’s decision (to grant or refuse permission, to revoke or to attach a condition to a permit) to seek review of that decision by the courts. These changes are, of course, welcome. Having said that, judicial review will still be a costly undertaking for any publisher.

At a public forum in July 2010, Pua argued that the 7 per cent discount for luxury properties costing MYR 500,000 and above for residential units and MYR 2 million and above for commercial lots violated the spirit of affirmative action and had been misused as a mechanism for bumiputras to make profit as middle-persons for non-bumiputra buyers.
