He said the decision was made by only Khazanah and EPF as it was the “best decision” after carefully considering the offers from other parties, after Maju Holdings Bhd executive chairman Tan Sri Abu Sahid Mohamed’s media outburst yesterday. He called the decision “stupid” and questioned why it was not conveyed to him despite his company being invited to make an offer and accused Khazanah of “stealing money”.
He said that with the decision, PLUS will be able to pay its debts and continue operating the biggest highway in the country.
