The True Story of Sime Darby

by Dr Chan Chin Cheung (director with Sime Darby 1974 - 1992)

MAY 19 — Poor Datuk Seri Ahmad Zubir Murshid, I sympathise with his present predicament. He was not the first executive of Sime Darby to be mired in circumstances which went beyond his control — the force of historical circumstances which dated back to November 1976.

All these began on Jan 2, 1972 when I proposed to a high government official that Malaysia would be well-placed to have a conglomerate of its own at the inception of the New Economic Policy (NEP) conceptualised by the team led by the Father of Development, Tun Abdul Razak, a statesman.

At that point, I had not the faintest idea what it was all about. All I knew was that my Malay contemporaries were very keen to do business. They grew up with me in the environs of higher education in the United Kingdom in the 1950s. We were all fired up with the things we could do in a socio-economic way.

KUALA LUMPUR: The idea of nationalising highways is not only a bad business decision but will be a financial burden on the government, which could result in the nation being poorer and less developed.

Not only would the cost of acquiring the highways come from public money but the expenditure in maintaining them would also come from the government’s consolidated fund, said former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad.
