When Dr M, the ex-Prime
Minister’s son Mirzan was in financial trouble with his shipping
company, Konsortium Perkapalan Berhad, Dr M asked Anwar(Finance Minister
that time) to instruct Petronas via MISC to help him. However, Mirzan
wanted a higher valuation price, therefore MISC had a problem. The Late
Dato Yassin, MISC Managing Director, told straight to Mirzan face, "Awak ingat MISC bapak awak punya company". And Mirzan reported to his father.
MISC was only willing to pay RM 950 million but Mirzan insisted RM1.3 billion in order to cover his cost. Anwar finally agreed to his request after Hasan Merican told Anwar, “Jangan cari pasal, dia anak Boss. Anyway, MISC is not your company”.
