Political links and cronyism aside
From my experience, Taibland's businesses are quite well-run
Well run because...
CMS have monopoly on cement.. Sarawak Govt use cabotage to raise import prices and dont allow building of cement plant... so they have upper hand in properties. Given monopoly on road repair for 15 years by Sarawak Govt..All state projects also given to CMSB..
Dayang have political links to ensure majority of OnG works in bintulu/miri area is given to them or Sarawak Govt cease the exploration license and make shell/murphy oil squirm...
Ta Ann, SOP & Sarawak Plant and others evict the orang asli, acquire land for a song (less than RM 100 per hectare).. jungle land license given/issued for free by Sarawak Govt for those connected..then convert to plantation land.
Sanyan Group, Ta Ann, WTK also controlled by the family.. Cheap/FOC timber concessions given by Sarawak Govt, also evict orang asli..
With all those FOC things and monopoly.. I think if
a monkey run the company also can be well run..
