Reasons why the big boys are selling? What are the negative things about the takeover that only they know? BPA has the monopoly here and thus can reap $$$$$. I bought BPA years back mainly because of the dividends. Now not that attractive wrt dividend. Capital growth is also not that impressive now. But I still want to know what they can do with the takeover to benefit the shareholders.

How will BPA perform after the handover to the Sarawak state govt? Worse, same or better? And why?

In my layman's view, top management will change with a mix of experienced staff and some politically linked staff. My guess is, that most will be Sarawakians. Vision is likely to stay the same. Execution may be different. As shareholders, how will the handover change result in better values? Your view? Only some senior insiders benefit from this?
