The opinion given by Tok Mat yesterday is his personal opinion.“I met him yesterday and he explained,” he told reporters at a press conference here, referring to Mohamad.reported Mohamad — who is the foreign affairs minister — claiming that the share deal involving sovereign fund Khazanah Nasional Bhd and GIP was not a collective Cabinet decision.

GDA and its shareholders has on May 15, 2024 announced a pre-conditional voluntary offer to acquire all the shares in MAHB not already owned by the Consortium, at an offer price of RM11.00 per share which is equivalent to RM18.4 billion.
