Petronas finalizes details in deal for Proton stake
Article Abstract:
Petroliam Nasional Bhd. (Petronas) has completed its plans to acquire a controlling equity stake in Perusahaan Otomobil Nasional Bhd. (Proton). Petronas is proposing to purchase the share for approximately one billion ringgit (257.5 million euros). Proton is the manufacturer of Malaysia's national car. Analysts believe that Petronas would be buying the Proton share for a fair price. However, the deal would not be enough to stop critics from seeing it as another example of the Malaysian government bailing out a major struggling business.
