The Perikatan Nasional-governed states of Kelantan, Terengganu, Kedah and Perlis have formed a jointly-owned company called SG4 Group Sdn Bhd, in which each hold an equal 25% stake. SG4 hopes to ensure fair distribution of economic benefits from the states' natural resources. Ibrahim Suffian, Co-Founder and Programmes Director of Merdeka Centre shares his views.
