Former Malaysian Finance Minister Daim worth at least RM 1.073 billion....should have been ranked at least 16th richest by Forbes

The publicity shy Daim Zainuddin, the former finance minister of Malaysia, owns 84.4% of the London AIM listed ICB Financial Group AG ( see AIM announcement at http://www.icbank-gh.com/upload/1211875219_Microsoft%20Word%20-%20080527%20ICB%20announcement%20-%20change%20of%20shareholder%20interests.pdf)


The company has a market capitalisation of STG 198.9 million ; or MYR 1.27705 Billion

( See http://investing.thisismoney.co.uk/companyresearch/225737/ICB_Financial/company_prices.html and use currency converter at http://coinmill.com/GBP_MYR.html#GBP=198.09)

Hence, Daim is worth at least MYR 1.0778302 Billion, or for the purposes of the Forbes rankings, USD 330 million.
That sum would rank him, (had Forbes given him due respect), the 16th richest person in Malaysia, just ahead of Vinod Shekar.

    Sdr. Ganesh,

    You should dig up the dirt in Felda's acquisition of a US company at an exobitant price! If you want, I can try get whatever little details that I can get.

    Unconfirmed reports indicates that Najib was adamant that the transaction proceed despite some undesireable matters in the due diligence report.

    Personally I think the real fair price of the acquisition should be no more than 30% (max max) of the offer price.

    Sekian.

by Ganesh Sahathevan        NSW AG Mark Speakman defending his Cronulla seat In 2013 the then NSW Minister for Finance Greg Pearce was sacked by the then  NSW Premier Barry O'Farrell for not disclosing a conflict of interest when he appointed the former  Sydney University General Counsel Richard Fisher to the board of Sydney Water.  Fairfax Media reported the details:  Fairfax Media has been told the lawyer Richard Fisher ''picked up the tab'' for the party to celebrate Mr Pearce's marriage to Shauna Jarrett, which was held a year before the Coalition took power in NSW and Mr Pearce became minister for finance and services. It has emerged that Ms Jarrett reports to Mr Fisher at the University of Sydney, where he is the general counsel. This was not disclosed to cabinet before it endorsed Mr Fisher's appointment in what Mr O'Farrell described as a ''clear breach'' of the ministerial code of conduct. Mr O'Farrell said he dismissed Mr Pe...

It is likely that other costs have and will be incurred, in the course of unravelling a scandal that the  NSW LPAB would have been aware of since at least 2006.  There is also a paper trail to show  that the   NSW LPAB Executive Officer at the time, Louise Pritchard,  had personal knowledge of governance matters which concerned the PLT, but were however excluded from the NSW LPAB Annual Report 2018 (see story below).
