Kini Cukong Melayu Terkaya Malaysia, TS Syed Mokhtar mahu membolot aset negara seterusnya iaitu KTMB selepas selesai membida mahu membeli saham Proton melalui DRB Hicom.Beliau mahu membeli KTMB melalui bisnes (Kargo dan Penumpang) dengan tawaran sebanyak RM 1 billion kepada MOF melalui syarikat MMC Gamuda.
Umum mengetahui, cukong Melayu ini banyak menguasai aset negara dan perniagaan penting seperti pelabuhan (Tanjong Pelepas Port & Johor Port), Bernas, Kilang Gula Padang Terap dan Malakoff Power Plant.Apabila menguasai KTMB terutama bahagian kargo, beliau dijangka menguasai industri kargo di Malaysia melalui pelabuhan dan keretapi kargo(darat).
Pihak RUM (Railway Union) secara kerasnya membantah KTMB dijual kepada syarikat swasta kerana dahulu Konsortium Marak Unggul yang mengambilalih KTMB dahulu gagal memajukan seperti yang diharapkan. Selepas kerajaan membeli tren-tren baru seperti ETS dan SCS (Komuter Baru) dengan dana yang besar, nampaknya pihak swasta seakan cuba mengambil kesempatan untuk membeli KTMB.Syabar RUM dpimpin En Razak yang membantah awal isu pembelian KTMB ini oleh MMC Gamuda !
An MMC official confirms the plan and says the company will undertake a feasibility study to ensure that the rate of return on the investment will be more than 10 per cent.
MMC Corp Bhd is undertaking a due diligence exercise to privatise Keretapi Tanah Melayu Bhd (KTMB), people familiar with the matter said. The company, controlled by tycoon Tan Sri Syed Mokhtar Al-Bukhary, plans to pump in as much as RM1 billion to take control of KTMB’s operations. According to the Railwaymen’s Union of Malaya (RUM), the Minister of Finance Inc (MOF) had given MMC the green lightto undertake the due diligence, which will take a few months.However, RUM is against MMC or any other party taking over KTMB. “They must have an agenda. We think KTMB can do well on its own. All it needs is a good management team to operate the business efficiently,” said RUM president Abdul Razak Md Hassan. |
