Malaysia: Govt can't block port chief linked to Epstein

Malaysia's government cannot interfere with the management of companies, including its largest port operator, MMC Port Holdings, according to Transport Minister Loke Siew Fook. This statement follows the appointment of Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, formerly of DP World, to lead MMC Port Holdings. Bin Sulayem resigned from DP World after being linked to Jeffrey Epstein, with emails exchanged between them released by the US Justice Department. The Malaysian government's regulatory role is limited to ensuring majority Malaysian ownership (51%) of strategic assets like ports, not their day-to-day management. AI
