KUALA LUMPUR: The newspaper vendor business is open to all, including Malays, and not just restricted to Indians. <\/p>\n

\n\n<\/table>\n

Selangor and Federal Territory Indian News Vendor Association president Datuk N. Muneandy said the association was more than willing to help Malays who wanted to venture into the newspaper vendor business.<\/p>\n

"I say to my fellow Malay brothers that we are ready to assist those who wish to venture into this business," he said at the association's 43rd annual dinner here last night.<\/p>\n

New Straits Times Press (M) Bhd's head of circulation Tasmin Harith Ismail represented NSTP chief executive officer Datuk Syed Faisal Albar.<\/p>\n

Muneandy said he also wrote to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi to clarify a misconception that Indians controlled the newspaper vendor business. <\/p>\n

"Many see the industry as dominated by Indians but it is a lowly paid job. Although many vendors are Indians, the main distributors are Chinese."<\/p>\n

He also thanked the NSTP for extending its insurance coverage to registered newspaper vendors. Each vendor is entitled to hospitalisation benefits and upon death, there will be a RM50,000 payout. Each family will also receive RM1,000 every month for the next 15 years, in case of death. <\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
