However, several of Khazanah's stakeholders are against it, says The Malaysian Reserve.

Khazanah Nasional is reportedly pushing for a merger between Malaysia Airlines Berhad and AirAsia X - both of whom are loss-making companies.citing sources, said several of Khazanah's stakeholders are against the merger.

The report said the merger proposal would require the government to first pay for MAB's operational expenditures, recapitalise the airline, and settle its debts first. "Basically, AAX shareholders would get a ‘cleaner’ MAB. Why sell when the government has to clean it up prior to the sale? In fact, there is no single benefit for MAB to merge with AAX. The latter is not even profitable. The ‘merger’ would only benefit AAX’s shareholders and not MAB or the Malaysian public," a source was quoted as saying.AAX, the long haul arm of AirAsia Group, had sunk back into losses last year, ending 2018 with a net loss of RM312.
