Pharmaniaga Bhd is not the sole concession holder supplying medicines to public health facilities, Health Minister Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad said.

He said about 33.4% (RM1.1 billion) of the Ministry’s pharmaceutical purchases was from the concessionaire company, while 66.6 % (RM2.2 billion) were purchases by the facilities through central contracts or quotations.

From these figures above, it is strictly incorrect to state that Pharmaniaga acts as a monopoly because there are also other vendors supplying directly to all MoH health facilities, he said.

Malaysia Airlines Bhd reported a year-on-year (y-o-y) revenue growth of 2% for the first quarter ended March 31, 2018, as the airline achieved an improved cost base while making progress on the execution of its recovery plan.
