Opposition insists MAHB deal a threat to country

KUALA LUMPUR: Opposition lawmakers are adamant that the sale of Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd’s (MAHB) shares to foreign entities is a threat to national security, as it involves access to data of travellers to Malaysia.

Machang MP Wan Ahmad Fayshal Wan Ahmad Kamal said the Prime Minister had failed to explain to the Dewan Rakyat how Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP), one of the foreign firms involved, will have access to this data once the deal is done.
