En Kamaluddin Abdullah, the son of the former PM Tun Abdullah Badawi, has surfaced in the London property dispute between the Naza’s family as reported in Free Malaysia Today.
Yours truly is very surprised to learn of the allegations of the indirect involvement of En Kamaluddin Abdullah in the said report because he is believed to be one of the honest corporate figures in Malaysia and had never used his father’s influence to get business or to facilitate any deal.
En Kamaluddin Abdullah is known to be involved in a listed company known as SCOMI Bhd. By coincidence, Tan Sri Azman Yahya is the CEO of Symphony House Bhd and also the director of SCOMI. He was also the MD of the then Danaharta.
During the MAS-Asia share swap Tan Sri Azman Yahya was the director of MAS and AirAsia Bhd. It was also during the MAS-AirAsia share swap that Datuk Omar Ong, another famous personality, who is a director of Symphony House, was appointed as a director of AirAsia. Please read HERE.
In December 2003, the share price of SCOMI hit an all time high of RM14.80 per share and today fell to about 0.36 Sen per share, which is understandable because the market is not so good now. Unlike in 2003 when Tun Abdullah was the PM, the market condition was extremely fertile.
Tun Abdullah is the Advisor of MAS.
Please do not read too much into the above, the events happened by coincidence.
Below is the report in Malaysia Insider.
