Merged govt-linked firms to draw big players

Government-linked plantation companies will be consolidated to bring more big players into Malaysia's share market, said Second Finance Minister Datuk Dr Jamaludin Jarjis. 

“What we are going to do is to merge or consolidate them to become big like Tenaga Nasional Bhd (TNB), so that they can become index-linked (counters) and all foreign investors and local people can buy their stocks,” he said.
