KUALA LUMPUR, May 25 — Activist Chua Tian Chang, who led a memorandum protesting the Israeli link in the proposed takeover of Malaysia Airport Holdings Berhad (MAHB) on Thursday,...
Tian Chua, the spokesman for Palestine Solidarity Secretariat , had along with Perikatan Nasional’s Machang MP Wan Ahmad Fayhsal Wan Ahmad Kamal led the protest in front of the Ministry of Transport office in Putrajaya to hand over a memorandum opposing the proposed takeover of MAHB.
He highlighted the original rationale behind MAHB’s establishment as a monopoly was to facilitate government oversight and maintain affordable prices for the populace. Transport Minister Anthony Lok has been urged to explain to the public the potential advantages of the deal, after he told protesters that the ministry is not responsible for the proposal. — Picture by Shafwan Zaidon
When asked about Loke’s response which was directed to him, Wan Ahmad Fayhsal accused the minister of attempting to divert attention away from him. “Before Khazanah sells the shares they must discuss it with Loke because they’re trying to sell to improve the airport’s operations so he must be in the loop. It’s irresponsible to say otherwise. Perhaps he could explain the rationale behind the 30 per cent stake to Global Infrastructure Partners ?
