PSA & Westports: More headlines in Utusan Malaysia

From Page 9, the story has shifted to Page 3 on Utusan Malaysia.

As Abdullah and Lee Hsien Loong cruise together today, the government is again reminded to ensure equity holdings in all Malaysian ports are not passed on to foreigners as they form the country's strategic industry that has great potentials for further development.

The second reminder came amidst Westports' clarification that it had never entered into any business negotiations with Ports of Singapore Authority (PSA) through Hutchison Ports Holdings of Hong Kong. Quote from a playful politician:

Menurut Shahrir, mulai sekarang kerajaan mesti mengawasi dan memantau Westports.

‘‘Jika syarikat itu mahu menjual pegangannya, maka kerajaan mestilah memastikan kelulusan tidak diberikan dengan mudah dan ekuiti yang dijual itu bukan pegangan majoriti,’’ katanya.

Shahrir berkata, pemilikan asing bukan bertumpu kepada pelabuhan semata-mata tetapi juga kepada sektor-sektor penting negara seperti syarikat penerbangan, pengangkutan, utiliti dan kesihatan.

Contexts in Screenshots: May 10 and May 13.

utusan malaysia is losing readersip and maybe money, due to lack of advertisment. best they focus on their job instead of giving unsound business advise to those who can do the job properly.

The insider story I heard from some uncles in an unknown kopitiam...

The westports boss is so scared that khairy is gonna rob his westports business that he would rather be playing golf somewhere in UK, even though their relationship was once so close until they call each other as good friend whenever they meet.

INTERNET does not operate in a legal vacuum.
