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.
