Anwar refutes opposition’s allegations of pro-Israel firm owning MAHB shares

PM says baseless claims made solely to incite hatred among people against government

ASTANA – Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has denied claims that a pro-Zionist company would own 25% of Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd’s (MAHB) remaining shares.

He said the opposition’s allegations were only aimed at inciting hatred towards the government.

“There is nothing positive from them, only inciting hatred and envy. All of our statements that have been recognised by the world, including the meeting with Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, do not bring anything positive to them; what is sought is slander and incitement.

“The strengthening of the ringgit and stock market only hurts the feelings of the opposition,” he told a press conference on the last day of his two-day official visit to Kazakhstan here today.

The opposition claimed that plans to privatise MAHB via a consortium will also include a company with links to a pro-Israel firm. – May 17, 2024
