GLC - what does that really mean? In a company, you would be able to control that company only if you have more than 50% of the shares - Then, and only then can you decide on what the company do or does not do, even who the Directors and CEO are...
Government of Malaysia controls directly through Khazanah, MoF Inc{Ministry of Finance Incorporated], KWAP[Kumpulan Wang Persaraan /Government Pension Fund], and BNM[Bank Negara Malaysia...
Alternatively, according to the government it also includes the 7 GLICs(Government-Linked Investment Companies) which includes Employees Provident Fund (EPF), Khazanah Nasional Bhd (Khazanah), Kumpulan Wang Amanah Pencen(KWAP), Lembaga Tabung Angkatan Tentera (LTAT), Lembaga Tabung Haji (LTH), Menteri Kewangan Diperbadankan (MKD), and Permodalan Nasional Bhd (PNB).

But, as mentioned earlier, to control any company, one needs to own more that 50% of the Company...Well, the only information of the amount that government owns was given in the 2004 data...after that, we do not know. How many of these 'GLCs' do the Malaysian government still own...The 2005 data provides percentage of government shareholdings - after that could not find anymore percentage ownership. What is the situation today?
Now the info from Putrajaya Committee GLC High Performace Website [http://www.pcg.gov.my/PDF/4.%20Section%20IV.pdf#page=3&zoom=auto,-12,398], the ones in the list not in bold red, the Malaysian government does not own more that 50%...so, it is no more in control - just a shareholder?
Latest, we heard that 51% of Proton will be sold of to a Chinese company or some other foreign company...
Companies owned by friends, families and/or cronies are not 'government controlled companies' ...
Some say GLC means the government owns at least 20% - but really this is nonsense. We should just have GCC (Government owned and controlled companies - and that too directly by the government...), and for them, maybe special treatment..
TELL US WHAT ARE THE GOVERNMENT OWNED COMPANIES WITH CONTROL - More than 50% Shareholding..
What the other companies that government own shares in?
In 2005, data was revealed by the government - what is the status now...do the government still owns as much? or has been sold off to some foreigners or others?
What are the percentage of government ownership not provided for the other companies like DRB HICOM, MAS, etc..

Foreign stratetic partner for Proton to be selected by first half
Posted on 8 February 2017 - 05:36am
PETALING JAYA: DRB-Hicom Bhd aims to
complete the selection of a foreign partner for automotive arm Proton
Holdings Bhd by the first half of this year.
In a statement yesterday, the group said it is waiting for the submission of bids from potential foreign strategic partners.
“As we have stated previously, the parties have conducted their own
due diligence on Proton over the past weeks. DRB-Hicom is now waiting
for the submission of bids from the parties, after which an earnest
evaluation of the bids will commence,” said DRB-Hicom group managing
director Datuk Seri Syed Faisal Albar.
It was reported that Chinese automaker Geely Automobile Holdings Ltd
is the front runner, ahead of French carmakers PSA Group and Renault SA.
Proton has been a drag for DRB-Hicom since the acquisition of the car
maker in 2012. DRB-Hicom incurred a widened net loss of RM478.94
million for six months ended Sept 30, 2016.
In its search for the right foreign strategic partner for Proton,
DRB-Hicom said it will evaluate three key criteria – strategic,
operational and cultural fit.
A strategic fit will enable both parties to derive tangible benefits
from the range of technology and products available, complementing each
other’s needs in their own markets, and achieving economies of scale.
“In evaluating the potential partners, DRB-Hicom will insist that the
Proton badge and its technology will be expanded into Asean markets
first and global arena subsequently,” Syed Faisal said.
An operational fit will ensure that both parties complement each
other’s strengths and existing company structures blend well to achieve
seamless operation while a cultural fit would ensure a successful union.
As part of the evaluation, he said, the group will also assess the
intention of the potential partners in utilising the current
“home-grown” vendor network.
“This is a very significant element in our evaluation, as DRB-Hicom
who also own subsidiaries serving Proton as vendors, would avoid for
these ‘home-grown’ network to be diluted substantially,” he explained.
Syed Faisal said the partnership would also benefit the foreign
partner, as it would be able to offer Proton’s range of affordable cars
namely Persona, Saga, Preve and Iriz to specific markets across the
globe.
He said the foreign partner would also be able to immediately
increase their production capacity via Proton’s Tanjung Malim plant in
Proton City, which has a low utilisation rate presently.
Syed Faisal stressed that the search for a foreign partner is a
critical exercise to ensure the sustainability of Proton and is
confident that Proton will enhance its brand equity with the right
partner.
“We have stated before that we will maintain a significant equity in
Proton, and this has not changed. The foreign strategic partner search
is not about shirking our national responsibility but about enhancing
Proton as a bona-fide carmaker, and eventually putting them, and
Malaysia, on the global map,” he added. - The Sun Daily, 8/2/2017
