KUALA LUMPUR: While several bids have been submitted by the private sector for the takeover of highway operator PLUS Malaysia Bhd, the government says it is yet to receive an “interesting” offer.

Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad told reporters that the government was still studying its options on the highways – whether it should be owned by the government or the private sector.
