Merge 1MDB's TRX with PR1MA
KINIBIZ Tiger is not one to sit on his paws while watching so-called corporate big shots fumble at their jobs. Surely Tiger can beat most of these corporate fat cats at their own game.
So this jungle cat decided long ago to join the fray. Look out corporate jungle, here comes Tiger!
Some weeks back, Tiger hinted at landing a cushy position as CEO of a big GLC (government-linked company) but unfortunately was looked over for other more ‘deserving’ candidates. Since then Tiger has been exploring other endless possibilities.
Last week, Tiger put his name forward for official appointment to head a new government body to act upon the high incidence of graft in the civil service brought to light by the Auditor-General’s Report. Tiger even came up with a name and acronym for the new body; Jimat 1Malaysia Agency for Transformation or J1MAT for short. Snappy name, isn’t it?
Last Tiger heard a special committee has been set up to study and scrutinise the Auditor-General’s Report. But it could be a while yet before they call Tiger in to get J1MAT going. A creature of action, Tiger has taken up a well unpaid position in the private sector to tide him over before that fateful appointment as chairperson of J1MAT.
Here’s to putting some of those critical thinking skills to good use. Tiger is joining the lucrative world of corporate finance, M&A or mergers and acquisitions to be exact, because that’s where the money is.
First order of business: A sensational merger of 1MDB’s (1Malaysia Development Bhd) flagship project, Tun Razak Exchange (TRX) and the government’s newly formed affordable housing scheme, PR1MA (1Malaysia People’s Housing Programme).
This TRX-PR1MA tie-up could very well be the corporate marriage of the year, edging out last month’s low-key coupling of Quek Leng Chan’s son and Chua Ma Yu’s daughter.
Tiger promises to be generous with the invites. Come one, come all. The more the merrier. People mountain, people sea.
