KUALA LUMPUR (Dec 31): Majlis Amanah Rakyat (Mara) has been urged not to close Mara Corporation and sell off Malay assets in its bid to narrow its scope of responsibilities to just education and entrepreneurship.

Making the call, Malaysian Malay Chamber of Commerce (DPMM) president Datuk Seri Syed Hussein AlHabshee said Mara, instead of taking the easy way out by closing Mara Corporation, should instead strengthen the company’s business.
