halim-saad-issues

Former corporate kingpin Halim Saad has filed a billion-ringgit legal suit against former Minister in the Prime Minister’s office, Nor Mohamed Yakcop, the Government and Khazanah Nasional. In this three part series KiniBiz takes a trip into the past and looks at what went on behind close doors all those years ago when Halim thrived, controlled a multi-billion ringgit empire and ultimately fell from grace. Finally we look at why political business — the ownership and operation of businesses by political parties — is really not such a good idea after all.
