08:07 - Former AirAsia Group Bhd chairman Datuk Pahamin Ab Rajab along with several other businessmen is seeking about RM 1 billion from a Japanese lender to support its takeover bid for Malaysia Airlines through its vehicle, Najah Air. If the deal materialises, the Japanese lender will become the main funding source for Najah Air’s takeover bid of the airline. It is understood that the group plans to take up a minority stake in the airline in a debt-for-equity swap and wants control of the board and management. Putrajaya has received 4 offers to take over Malaysia Airlines but no decision has been made on the offers as the government needs to carefully consider all the proposals.
