Earlier, it was Shell. Now is BHP's turn.
All can apply to operate BHPetrol service stations now
By HAH FOONG LIAN
IPOH: Boustead Holdings Petrol (BHPetrol) has withdrawn one of the application criteria to operate its service stations, saying that effective immediately all races can apply.
A spokesman said the company has removed the condition stating that only bumiputra people could apply to operate its service stations.
However, the spokesman declined to elaborate why the requirement had been on its website in the first place.
Earlier yesterday, DAP Socialist Youth chief Nga Kor Ming told reporters that he had received numerous complaints that non-bumiputras were not considered for a licence to operate a service station.
He added that the company should consider the application based on merit and not race.
