KUALA LUMPUR - The financial woes of two large and prominent local companies are stirring concerns about the overall health of corporate Malaysia - particularly debt-laden publicly listed entities - amid the Covid-19 pandemic.
"Government support in the form of the moratorium on loans needs to be phased out over time and not done abruptly. Also, banks need to be practical when dealing with borrowers because pulling the plug on one can have a dangerous knock-on effect," he said. Mr Lim stunned investors last month when cruise operator Genting Hong Kong Ltd, a listed entity in which he personally controls close to 80 per cent, declared that it would suspend all payments to creditors because of serious impairments in its business battered by international lockdowns that forced the closure of its casinos and resort worldwide.
The national oil company also spearheaded the development of the country's administrative capital Putrajaya during the crisis years which was vital in boosting a slumping construction sector.
