The fact that AutoStadt Asia Sdn Bhd’s owners are the same people who own Emeritus Equities Sdn Bhd who lost their rice bowl when the government stopped giving them Kleemann APs gives you more reason to be suspicious. If you want to know who the owners are, click here. You will not be suprised.

Sort of makes her more powerful than ever, doesn't it? Our beloved PM also said MITI is about more than AP's and I'm sure Rafidah's niece is thanking him right now. So much for transparency and cronyism. Just think, Rafidah just got returned to the cabinet in today's newspaper announcement.

The second reason it might not be held by them is because of competition between Quasar and Emeritus Equities. Gone are the hopes of getting a "cheap" Volkwagen Golf GT-I. Way to go Malaysia.
