00:00This is what UMNO President Ahmad Zahid Hamidi had to say about his Deputy Mohamad Hassan's

00:21statement on the sale of Malaysia Airports Holdings Berhad shares to a company linked

00:26to U.S. asset management firm BlackRock.

00:29Zahid, a Deputy Prime Minister, said UMNO's position on the privatization exercise remained

00:34consistent with Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim's stand.

00:38Yesterday, Mohamad, also known as Topmat, said UMNO ministers had pleaded with sovereign

00:43wealth fund Kazana National Berhad against selling MAHB shares to global infrastructure

00:48partners.

00:50The foreign minister said the deal was not decided by the cabinet and expressed hope

00:53for a review even though it is already at a very advanced stage.

00:58Criticism of the deal arose because GIP is said to be acquired by BlackRock, which has

01:02been accused of profiteering from genocide due to its stakes in U.S. defense firms that

01:07allegedly supply weapons to Israel.

01:09Meanwhile, Zahid said the cabinet had discussed the matter but not in detail, instead it was

01:15discussed thoroughly in a meeting with government backbenchers ahead of the Dewan Raqqat session

01:19which started today.
