GOLD TRADING: Wasting golden chance to make nation a hubI AM pleased with Syed Azauddin's well thought out and well expressed letter, "Prompt action may have made many the wiser" (NST, Oct 31).

Syed Azauddin rightly argued that what Bank Negara did regarding Genneva Malaysia's customers, though laudable, fails to justify that the raid on the gold trading company was in the interest of customers.
After reading about what had appeared, I feel the raid was unnecessary as there is a number of ways the bank could have acted.
It was also pointed out that it had plenty of time to check with the company whether its business complied with the law and advise it.
Now, the raid has made thousands of customers worried.
The raid has not only caused hardship to thousands of people who have benefited from the company, but will be a damper if Malaysia ever wants to make the country a regional gold hub.
Is there something magical gold traders know that banks, financial institutions and the authorities may not know?
This is especially since thousands invested their savings in gold wafers and hibah to sweeten their buys.
Syed Azauddin was right to mention that banks are reaping billions of ringgit in profits every year but not a single sen goes into the pockets of customers, except shareholders.
I would think, in this case, Genneva thought it right and proper that whatever it could generate from the sale of gold should be channelled back to agents and customers as a form of return for their support of the company.
Clients have been more than satisfied with the company as it has honoured its word.
The question is, why penalise the company for its business plan that has benefited thousands?
It may well be the future direction of gold trading.
I dont understand why the newspaper entertains the publications of such propaganda. Anyway i do celebrate the freedom of press on tge other hand. Time will reveal the Truth soon. As the Bible says a bad tree cannot bear good fruit and neither a good tree bear bad fruit. At the moment these people are trying to cover the fire with some paper covering.
