'My prime minister never said it (that Malaysia Airlines would be shut down) but the former PM wants to create an alarm,' said Lim Guan Eng

Kuala Lumpur–Malaysia’s Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng clarified an issue that caused a stir recently. He said that contrary to earlier reports, Malaysia Airlines will not be closing down after all, and said that confusion had arisen from some comments from former Prime Minister Najib Razak.Mr Lim explained that certain remarks that Prime Minister Dr Tun Mahathir Mohamad had made concerning the national carrier had been interpreted incorrectly.

Mr Najib had a swift reaction to what Dr Mahathir said, urging the government to do neither, since Malaysian Airlines was a great source of pride and joy for the nation, and therefore, ought to be upheld as its national carrier., “No. Absolutely not. It’s a wrong move because Malaysia Airlines is our pride and joy. Malaysia Airlines must continue as our national airline. There must be a turnaround plan. When I was chairman of Khazanah , our turnaround plan was working.

“The former PM issued a statement as if we going to close down Malaysia Airlines. So, I hope we can look at what the PM said properly… we are not going to close down Malaysia Airlines. We want to give this assurance to the employees.The Finance Minister was attending the launch of Bank Pembangunan Malaysia Bhd’s RM1 billion Sustainable Development Financing Fund on March 12 and spoke to the press about the issue.
