Bakke was most qualified for MPOB, rues former commodities minister

Bakke Salleh was the "most qualified" person to helm the Malaysian Palm Oil Board (MPOB) and his removal by the present administration was a grave mistake, said former primary industries minister Teresa Kok.

In a statement today, Kok said Bakke had experience in the plantation sector with Felda, FGV Bhd and Sime Darby Bhd.
