PETALING JAYA: India should reconsider its decision to ban imports of palm oil from Malaysia as the country's political situation has changed, says MCA president Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong"The situation has changed within our country. India should reconsider its decision to ban palm oil imports from Malaysia," he said in a Facebook post on Sunday ."If there is any issue or misunderstanding remaining between our countries, let's discuss openly," he added.
The ban came following a political row between the two countries when then prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, in December last year, spoke out against India's then recently-approved citizenship legislation, which appeared discriminatory towards Muslims. India's new citizenship law made it easier for persecuted minorities from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan to get citizenship - but not if they are Muslims.On Jan 7, it was reported by Reuters that India informally asked palm oil refiners and traders to avoid buying Malaysian palm oil, according to government and industry sources.
