The "most significant" of all, added Nurul Izzah, is a unreasonable charges to be borne by FGVH for a advice as good as inventory government services of dual local investment banks - Maybank Investment as good as CIMB investment - as good as three unfamiliar investment banks - Morgan Stanley, JP Morgan as good as Deutsche.
"This approach would additionally liquidate Bumiputera equity in FGVH after these FELDA workers as good as settlers sell off their shares in a open marketplace to pay off their bank debts.
