who knows? may be, some nominees are already holding 10-20% of total mas shares issued. thus, only 10% or less still not acquired???? just a guess :)

every analyst talks about privatisation for mas seems like a must now, that's the reason that mas shares rebounded pretty well from 18.5sen this morning :)

http://www.kinibiz.com/story/corporate/96703/malaysia-airlines-not-at-fault-says-analyst.html

MAS is the victim in the case," said Tan Kam Meng, an analyst with TA Research. "It was not human error or negligence. I don't think this will affect travel sentiment."

Malaysian state investor Khazanah Nasional Bhd plans to take MAS private as the first step in a major restructuring of the airline, two people with direct knowledge of the matter told Reuters earlier this month. – Reuters

in my opinion, it is a must to take MAS out from bursa asap... khazanah cannot have honeymoon anymore, it must be now or never :)

also as a public listed co, a lot of news will be released to the financial websites, newspapers, etc , further tarnishing mas image, etc.... the best for mas now, to get delisted , etc.... relisted later like JAL.... It can list Firefly, Terminal services, mas eng

MAS should be taken private asap, cant wait... as a public listed co, a lot of announcements, etc are required which complicate restructuring, slowdown the processes, etc etc :)

MH17 will quicken the privatisation of MAS, I believe :)

fell to 18.5sen this morning, now recovering to 20.5sen, may be, khazanah is buying back more mas shares before announcing the privatisation of MAS very soon, really cant wait.... fingers crossed

May be, it will quicken mas's privatisation. Khazanah will take immediate action now. If heavy volume is traded today, may be, khazanah is buying up from the open market as many shares as possible first :)

Proton has been sold. Mas will surely be the next, timing difference only :)

Even proton got buyer :)

Soonlah, running out of time, some cronies may also offer to buy up mas or partially. Wait n see :)

fun to watch mas as the time is running out.... :)

about 70% of mas was held by khazanah, I think about 10%++ was held by various government agencies, etc too.... thus, 10-20% ais held by from non-government related investors if not mistaken :)

last year, it was reported that khazanah wanted at least 60sen for mas per share.... if mas were privatised, then the offer price should around this level , fingers crossed

Maswings should be sold back to sabah and sarawak, firefly, terminal services & mas engineering to be sold or ipo. Mas cargo and full service airlines unit to be privatised for restructuring, etc :)

Loss making mas wont be able to help the aviation industry in sarawak and sabah for tourism, trade, transportation, etc... let them handle maswings themselves as sarawak and sabah are resource rich

Maswings should be sold to resource rich sarawak first. :)

Why most msia politicians are rich?:)

:)

Mas can ask for higher privatisation price with more and more value enhancing partnership

Wait n see. Mas-airasia share swap arranged by cimb under nazir was cancelled. See what will be next after joining khazanah's board :)

Mas can be restructured without political interference, high cost structure, excess staff, transparency of contracts, excess staff, stubborn unions, etc. Need a strong leader to restructure or re engineer it... someone like tony fernandes of airasia or ghosh of nissan, etc

Sia also crashed in taiwan... recovered fast. Mh370 was the first case in the world. If u think negative, then forever remained negative. I came back from phuket last month. The mas plane was full , not all people r afraid to fly mas. After certain period, back to normal , people forget about mh370 :)

Next year, asean integration will start. Open sky policy. July to sept this year,major decision on mas will be made. Running out of time, daily cash burnrate is estimated about rm5mil... betul2 tak boleh tunggu :)

mas performance and share price performance were reported in the business newspapers globally as a listed co, so embarrassing... Bloomberg, etc etc...take it private and stop all these embarassments including alleged cronyism pertaining to brahim, the unreasonable unions, overstaffing/low productivity, bailout after bailout,wasting rakyat money, etc etc :)

last year, it was reported that khazanah wanted 60sen or higher for mas share.. if no private investors willing to privatise mas at such price, it better for the govt to privatise it :)

in my opinion, mas should be privatised either by the govt or private investors... as a public listed company, there many compliance requirements, etc to be fulfilled ... a lot of announcements to be made during restructuring, etc would affect the share price, etc etc... for a private entity, they could restructure, etc faster without all the unnecessary announcement, seeking approval via agm, egm, etc etc which slowdown the entire process of restructuring.... fingers crossed :)

Good for Nazir to join Khazanah's Board as he failed before pertaining to mas share swap between mas and airasia.... hope to see his action to clean up the mess in mas even after the failure of the share swap , fingers crossed :)

KUALA LUMPUR: Analysts this morning are in agreement that it will be business as usual at least in the near term at CIMB Group, the country’s second largest banking group despite long-time Group CEO Datuk Seri Nazir Razak relinquishing his post effective September 1 and moving up to assume the role of Group chairman.


Maybank Research said there will be a new person at the helm (as Group CEO), but as a whole: “We expect it to be business as usual, especially in terms of direction of the group. This is particularly since an executive committee of the Board is to be established and Nazir will chair this committee, whose role is to focus on strategic matters.” (Source: Business Times)

I guess the decision pertaining to MAS will be announced earliest this month and the most they delay also till sept 2014 when najib's brother has joined khazanah's board.... daily cash burn rate for mas was estimated around RM5mil per day.... cant wait longer.... fingers crossed :)

in fact, the bn govt via khazanah did not make announcement yet regarding the privatisation of mas.... neither accept or reject.. still considering right? now, it is a prediction, the degree of likelihood.... whether dare to buy mas shares at this moment... either make a lot or lose a lot... fun time for traders .. not for those with heart problems :)

najib's brother is already super rich with his cimb's shareholdings, his involvement in khazanah in sept 2014 should be to redeem his failure pertaining to MAS for the share swap between airasia and mas arranged by cimb under him... wait n see.... only death and taxation are certain, taught by professors :)

once bitten twice shy... I think najib's brother from cimb would redeem his face pertaining to MAS this time after the earlier marriage between airasia n mas failed :)

he was also the one who helped the share swap between airasia and mas via cimb last time.... wait n see his action when he is on board in khazanah.... what surprise he would bring pertaining to mas again? :)

najib's brother, from cimb to join khazanah's board on sept 1.... cimb is reviewing mas now if not mistaken... to prove himself in khazanah, he is likely to push thru MAS's rescue plan , fingers crossed :)

I think mas share price would be chased up to above 30sen today :)

Last year, maybank analyst said, khazanah wanted 60sen n above if they sell its stake. Now, at 21sen , khazanah needs to pay rm1bil for the remaining shares. Even, at 42sen, only pay rm2bil. To please the minority shareholders, I think the offer price would be at least 40sen n above. Fingers crossed

Nobody knows what is in their minds..

Or suddenly announce a buyer for mas... :)

May be, they delay it intentionally, burn all the cash to declare bankruptcy for mas :)

Maybank analyst criticised khazanah's slowness, may be, khazanah will announce the revival plan mas fast now, fingers crossed :)

http://m.themalaymailonline.com/money/article/after-latest-rm1.2b-loss-bt-suggests-bankruptcy-for-mas

Last resort, petronas will buy up mas like misc n konsortium perkapalan case :)

Up n down, down for buyer to take over cheaply :)

Now, the ball is with khazanah :)

Maybank condemned the 6-12months' time frame, burn all the cash ... :)

Hard to say, khazanah may surprise the market with sudden announcement :)

Khazanah, within this month to come out with a plan, then rise again. 6-12months, dielah, burn all the cash already. Not their own money, if their own mobey, immediate action :)
