Dr M says govt still looking at solution for Malaysia Airlines


Dr Mahathir said there is talk that some companies might take a stake in Malaysia Airline, but noted that, there are also some people who are very sentimental and want to see the company owned entirely by Malaysians. "But, there is no Malaysian investor strong enough to take it up,” he explained.

KUALA LUMPUR: The government is still looking at solutions for troubled Malaysia Airlines Bhd, which is majority-owned by Khazanah Nasional Bhd, Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad said.

"It’s not easy.. we have done a lot. The previous government gave them RM6 billion and sacked 6,000 people, and in addition, reduced the number of flights.
