thepoliticalcat@liztai Ah, I see. This is the answer to my question. I'm not familiar with Malaysian business law, either, but I remember working on a story, gee, 50 years ago, I guess, and that one factoid sticks with me. I don't agree with the strongarming that's going on. It's morally reprehensible, at the very least. I can't opine on whether it should be banned, but if it is a security risk, as some folks claim, then, yes, banning it would be more sensible than forcing the owner to sell to an American.
