00:00Investment trade and industry minister Tengku Zafrul Aziz cited the above figures when explaining

00:19to the Dewan Rakyat today that dropping global investment from BlackRock will have clear

00:24implications and negative effects on the nation's investment agenda.

00:28He said neither his ministry nor Putrajaya has dealt with the firm directly, adding that

00:33BlackRock's dealings with companies such as Microsoft and Intel do not directly involve

00:37shareholders.

00:38Zafrul also said that BlackRock has been investing in Malaysia for decades.

00:58Yesterday, former Minister Kary Jamaluddin said, using the excuse that BlackRock had

01:12already invested in Malaysia to justify allowing global infrastructure partners to participate

01:17in the privatization of Malaysia Airport's Holdings Berhad is not an apple-to-apple comparison.
