Sell Down of GLCs in Bursa



There is a Persistent Sell down of Government Link Companies in the local exchange of Bursa.


Foreign funds vote with their shares. Recent corporate governance issues have been very unpalatable. Some even say that certain parties are trying to push through certain deals prior to the elections, at all costs. Besides the Sime Darby-E&O deal, the AirAsia-MAS deal was a sour note ... not many mainstream media or analysts dared to mention that CIMB was advising both parties??!! What kind of crap is that? Its like a court case where the prosecutor and defending lawyer are from the same firm. Please show me ONE other case in global corporate M&A transactions whereby one investment bank advises both sides.

Never Believe a Corrupt Government


There is an old Chinese saying that says that you should never trust a corrupt government, if there is corruption in that nation than it is the failure of the government, a government that allows for corruption is the most heinous of crime in heaven, a crime that is worse than murder.

This corrupt government will go all out to deceive and will be most pretentious with the objective to stay in power, is incapable of serving the people and will inevitably cause great poverty of the mind and deprive the people of economic wealth.

Old Chinese Proverb: " Never Trust a Politician that is all out to stay in Power and if you were to believe the words of such a Politician than you should believe that the Sow (Female Pig) can climb  Trees."
