Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP) stated that its buyer, BlackRock, will not be a part of the ongoing deal to privatise Malaysia Airport Holdings Bhd (MAHB). The exclusion of BlackRock was prompted by the fiery backlash from the Malaysian public over its alleged ties to Israel. Under the proposed deal to privatise MAHB, GIP and Abu Dhabi Investment Authority will own 30% of MAHB while the remaining 70% will be held by Khazanah Nasional Bhd and the Employees Provident Fund (EPF). If this deal materialises, it will value MAHB at RM18.4 bil.
