Are MAHB minority shareholders being blindsided?

THERE was a clarion call for minority shareholders of Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd (MAHB) to accept the RM12.32bil deal to take the airport operator private.

But although MAHB provided its rationale for the proposed deal, it is still not clear why there is a need to take it private when it can remain as a public listed company while still fulfilling its obligations, which are part and parcel of its role as an airport operator.
