Economy minister Rafizi Ramli says another option is to propose amendments to the existing laws.

PETALING JAYA: The government is hoping to table a bill to curb “Ali Baba” practices by the end of this year, according to economy minister Rafizi Ramli.

Rafizi said the government is still studying the matter.

“The proposed measures include formulating new policies, strategies, and comprehensive initiatives to curb rent-seeking practices in the country,” he said in a written parliamentary reply, adding that this may involve enacting a new Anti-Rent-Seeking Act or amending existing legislation.
