KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 10 — Mirzan Mahathir, the eldest son of Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad was recently appointed to the board of San Miguel Corp, the biggest food and beverage conglomerate in the Philippines and the owner of San Miguel Brewery Inc.
San Miguel Corp told the Philippines stock exchange last week about Mirzan’s appointment which is to represent the interests of Q-Tech Alliance Holdings Inc on the board.
Q-Tech, a Manila-based investment company in which Mirzan has a stake in, recently acquired a 19.9 per cent share in San Miguel Corp for 39.61 billion pesos (RM2.9 billion).
It bought the stake from Japan’s Kirin Holdings, which used the funds to help finance the acquisition of a 43 per cent stake in San Miguel Brewery Inc.
With this latest corporate exercise, San Miguel Corp still maintains a 51 per cent stake in San Miguel Brewery Inc.
San Miguel Brewery controls 95 per cent of the Philippine beer market. The company has made San Miguel Beer for more than a century. The beer is brewed in the Philippines, China, Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand and Malaysia, and is sold in 60 markets worldwide, according to the company’s Web site.
San Miguel Corp has been selling its food and beverage assets since 2007 to expand into the mining, infrastructure and property industries.
Mirzan’s involvement in the deal, while a sound investment decision, has raised some eyebrows among Malaysia’s conservative Muslim community.
Since news of Q-Tech’s acquisition of San Miguel Corp shares began circulating here, a number of news blogs have used it to attack Dr Mahathir’s Muslim credentials.
Mirzan’s corporate forays have not been without controversy.
He once controlled Konsortium Perkapalan Bhd when Dr Mahathir was prime minister, but was forced to sell its shipping assets to Malaysia International Shipping Corporation (MISC), in what critics said then was a bailout.
Alahai apa la nak jadi dengan orang Islam di malaysia nih.
Adakah ini namanya Islam hadhari hasil didikan PM Pak lah dulu, demi untuk mengejar tamaddun maka apa saja yang ada sumber wang maka boleh saja ambil dan balun biar buncit perut dengan duit yang jelas nabi kata haram tu. tak ingat ka apa kata hadis' setiap daging yang tumbuh dari hasil yang haram maka api neraka lebih layak baginya'.
Ana harap berita tu tak betul kot, kerana ini merupakan sesuatu yang tak sepatutnya berlaku kepada seorang anak bekas PM kita yang disanjung oleh seluruh dunia Islam dulu sampai Amerika pun takut kat dia.
Harap kalau beliau sedar segera lepaskanlah kerana hidup diakhirat selama-lamanya bukan macam dunia ni hanya 80 hingga 90 tahun lepas tu mati.
Janganlah tambah lagi koleksi umat Islam yang menguasai bisness kilang arak ni, kalau di Malaysia orang boleh tahu , tapi luar negara walaupun rakyat tak tahu tapi Allah dan malaikat tahu.
Kadang-kadang bila datang bulan puasa ni, ana lihat ramai anak-anak yatim dijamu berbuka dengan juadah yang sedap-sedap dari hotel mewah oleh tokoh korporat yang kaya raya, alahamdulillah kalau wang mereka dari sumber yang dijamin halal, tapi bagaimana kalau sumber wang tersebut dari yang jelas haram atau syubahat.
Tepuk dada tanya iman.
Mungkin itulah sebabnya kekadang doa yang kita pohon bagai diangin lalu, tak diterima oleh allah.
Minta allah ampunkan dosa kita dibulan yang mulia ini.
Moga berita yang saya baca diatas tu tak benar .
