KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim today stressed that Malaysia Airport Holdings Berhad (MAHB) has not been sold to foreign companies.

During the prime minister's question time in Dewan Rakyat today, Anwar said the share deal with Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP) through the MAHB consortium has allowed Khazanah Nasional Bhd and Employee Provident Fund's (EPF) ownership to increase from 41 per cent to 70 per cent.

"Currently, the change has allowed Khazanah and EPF's ownership to increase by 41 per cent to 70 per cent.

"This is different from the narrative (provided by certain quarters) outside, there is no sale of MAHB to a foreign company.

"Foreign companies only own 27 per cent and this is what is being owned by GIP and Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (Adia)," he said.

Collectively, Malaysian investors would own 70 per cent of MAHB. Adia and GIP will hold the remaining 30 per cent.

He also said the issue of MAHB sale to foreign companies was not an issue as the matter did not arise.
