Kuala Lumpur: Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim today explained why Global Infrastructure Partners was chosen to participate in the exercise to privatise Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd .
“Other companies wanted management rights, including the roles of chairman and CEO. This was not acceptable , which is why GIP was chosen,” he told the Dewan Rakyat during Prime Minister’s Question Time. Several quarters have been urging Putrajaya to scrap the deal due to GIP’s ties with investment firm BlackRock, which has been accused of “profiteering from genocide” through its stakes in US defence firms that allegedly manufacture weapons used by Israel.
Speaking today, Anwar refuted claims that GIP’s participation in the deal would pose a threat to national security, saying the airports would still belong to the government.On the deal itself, he said: “The process is currently ongoing. The government, and I personally, do not want to disrupt it.”Anwar also stressed the importance of working with foreign firms for Malaysia’s development, including in the management of the country’s airports on a large scale.
