Power ding-dong

In 2004, TNB sold its 40 per cent stake in Kapar IPP to Malakoff for RM1.7 billion. Now it wants to buy back that stake.
For how much?
RM2.9 billion!

Kow kow ma! Siapa kena pow here?! Ada Santa Claus ke?

According to the Business Times' report here, Malakoff wrote to the MoF about its plan to sell the stake back to TNB and the MoF subsequently asked TNB to consider it. I am assuming the article meant MoF II Nor Mohamed Yakcop and not MoF Najib Razak.
In any case, we notice that the MoF has been rather busy lately with headline-grabbing corporate proposals, including its proposal that Sime Darby takes over the IJN. Some said it was also the MoF's idea to give Sime Darby the RM1.7 billion job to construct an airport in Labu, which is NOT part of a government's 50-year masterplan on airport development. More on this later, perhaps ...

    "I am assuming the article meant MoF II Nor Mohamed Yakcop and not MoF Najib Razak."

    This is to protect yourself?

    And you are having an agenda to even out with MOFII?

    What are your real motives sir?

    Nor Mohd Yakcop been busy shuffling things around before he leaves. "What's in for everybody?", you should ask.

    The last few months of any lame duck government should be critically analysed as that's where and when things "happen". (wink, wink)

    Then it's happy retirement.

  3. Bro Rocky,

    This is another SICKO saga in our govt. I don't know how much ACTUAL money will be spent again and again to compensate those 'auta' businessman.

    May Allah save us from Najib Tun Razak and his bunch of blood suckers.

    Bro, wonder what's da status of the fuel-subsidy pay-out via Pos Malaysia is now? Is the subsidy scheme still on till March 09... why ah?
    The dumb decision was made when fuel price was at 2.70, but now its at 1.80, so why da subsidy now?
    I thought stupidity had its limits ... think I'm wrong bro.

  11. SM has just spent $1.7b cash for Johor Airport and land to avoid share valuation scrutiny by the SC.

    What better way for SM to replenish his coffers than to once more gang bang TNB for an unwanted excess capacity IPP?

    When will the croneys stop raping TNB and the nation? We are sick of it!!

    errr....rocky, unless I've been reading the attached article (from Business Times) wrongly, I thought the RM2.9b price tag was only an estimation / speculation by analyst based on assumption of the price of a new coal plant. It was not stated anywhere that this price has been agreed by both parties. You should quote articles more clearly, after all there are many readers here and elsewhere who tend to jump to conclusion without checking the sources and reading more on the issues, i.e. cepat menggelabah. Having said that, I wont be surprised if anyone is going to take advantage of this planned sales. cheers!

    Bro,
    Some people would just refuse to see the problem. I think once Tun Mahathir is gone, they'll be at a loss to understand that there are others who have been shafting Malaysia.
    Unfortunately, some of them, have been doing it since Tun's time and lucky enough to be still having their hands in the till, undetected or otherwise, until now.

  16. a scam and the rakyat will pay at the end of the day. and najib just can't say it is not him, he is the boss now. we buggers are paying higher rates to TNB even with lower oil prices ...thanks to the great IPP deals under Dr.M and these kind of wonderful deals by MoF to ensure a few fellows get rich...what to do UMNOPutra policy, rakyat kena kantoi while making us less competitive globally.

    so now do we agree MoF doesn't have the best interest of the nation or the rakyat?

    Dear sir

    Lain kali kalu ada apa posting tentukan nama disebalik badan koperat itu di highlight sikit. Ini untuk memudahkan kami berfikir. Contohnya Sime Darby , orang belakangnya Musa Hitam . Malakof Syed Bokhary , CIMB adik Najid , Scomi ,ACM Libra , KJ dan Kalimullah Hassan dan lain lain. Baru kita tahu percaturannya. Saya yang tiada pelajaran pun pandai buat business macam ni; jual 1.7 billion dan beli balik 2.9 billion .Siapa untung siapa rugi ni dengan berbillion.Guyang kaki le. IJN yang dah menempah nama dan untung nak diambil alih oleh Sime darby. Apa dia orang tak nampak cara lain hanya mencari jalan singkat untuk untung. Apa kah ini cara "Melayu" lebih tepat lagi orang UMNO mengurus perniagaan ? . Cari jalan mudah. Saya ada satu cadangan , sekarang ini barat sebok dengan 'global warming'. Masaalahnya dikaitkan dengan penebangan hutan di Malaysia. Suruh SimeDarby , Malakoff buat cadangan kepada Amerika untuk menghijaukan padang pasir dan tanah lapang yang tidak berp0kok diAmerika. Cari lah keuntungan disana dan bawa balik ke Malaysia. Baru nampak cekap dan bagus. Ini nak ambil alih IJN. Saya pun nak sepanggu (Satu Share) dah tentu untung macan Malakof jual balik IPP KAPAR ni.

    why insinuate against MOF II only? what about the counterparty? juicest deals go to this great guy during Mahatir era and continue after a short hiatus under the sleepy PM. and he flips it to MMC (sure man man ci or die slowly now for MIs) for humonguous profit. Remember MMC was once a solid (though sleepy) co controlled by PNB before it went to him in a rather sweetheart deal.

    Not much substance in the comments posted in here. But it looks like the prisoners have taken over the jail.

    Bailouts, payouts,mergers, takeovers, buyouts, bankrupcy,winding up etc are all part and parcel of business.

    When the business gets bigger, the complexity gets bigger. In fact, gigger they are, harder they fall.

    Action leads to re-action. In-action leads to action and the cycle continues to go round and round. If you don't do it, others will.

    In a nutshell, that's life and it sure wasn't meant to be easy.

    Bro,

    It's not so much TNB wanting to buy the coal plant but Syed Mokhtar wanting TNB to buy it from him.

    Syed Mokhtar ... the name sounds familiar, doesn't it?

    No need to protect the old guard lah bro.

    In essence, semuanya sama ... Mahathir, Pak Lah, Najib, semuanya sama. And you can even throw in Anwar skali.

    It's the UMNO perpetuated way of doing things.

    Yang ultimately kena bayar through their noses tak lain tak bukan kita jugak, bro.

    That's the sad thing about it.

    Whatever your agenda is, jangan lupa ramai orang susah dalam negara ni.

    And when I say orang susah, I don't just mean orang miskin. You don't need to be miskin to undergo kesusahan and kepayahan hidup in this country.

    Gaji naik, tapi cost of living naik lebih.

    Over the last 10 years, we Malaysians have gotten nowhere in our daily struggles.

    That's the truth and you know it.

    And I don't see that changing unless we change the way we do things.

    Cara lama tak boleh lagi,bro.

    If we continue with the old ways, then I really fear for my children.

    Sikit hari lagi -- about 10 years from now -- my kids will enter adulthood.

    They and that is all that matters to me and my wife.

    I will do everything to ensure that they don't have to live under a fucked-up government such as the one we are living in now.

    That's all that matters to me.

    The Air Asia airport was supposed to be somewhere near Tanjung Malim or Labu.

    Due to Selangor fell to PR, it's was decided ( easier ) to be in Labu which also has Mohamad Hassan as MB.

    So the LCCT is going to be a history just like Subang airport.

    This latest episode reminds me of what TS Ani Arop said: "TNB will go bankrupt soon if IPP deals are not renegotiated" for which he paid dearly in that his contract was not renewed. Much later after Mahathir's resignation, when asked abt why TNB needs to pay expensively to IPPs, he said, "Ask our former PM" to which Mahathir was reported to be unhappy at the so-called cynical reply.
