Former minister says US palm oil ban based on old complaint

Former primary industries minister Teresa Kok has urged the United States Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to send an investigative team to Malaysia to probe the labour practices of Malaysia’s oil palm plantation giant FGV Holdings.

Kok, who is the Seputeh MP, cited the ban against palm oil and palm oil products from FGV as "unreasonable" and "based on an old issue".
