He said the ministry views the merger proposal positively especially as it involves a Malaysian company. “As far as we are concerned, we look at the proposal positively. And we are concerned whether or not the initiative or merger will result in the loss of jobs, but I have had a meeting with those concerned, and they have shown me that in fact this merger exercise will create new jobs,” he said.
