Steal from each other and sell at fire sale price. That is called smart move by thieves indeed.

Steal from each other and sell at fire sale price. That is called smart move by thieves indeed.

The unfortunate part is that the U.S. government was willing to cover the cost of the Equanimity’s upkeep while proceedings were pending in the U.S. Instead, as a publicity stunt, Mahathir has unnecessarily put this financial burden on the Malaysian government and, given the illegal manner in which he took the asset, it is unlikely any bid will come close to its fair market value.

Issues related to the ownership of this asset could have been handled through proceedings in Indonesia and the United States that were underway when Mahathir’s forces illegally boarded the yacht and sailed it off to Malaysia. His politically motivated publicity stunt to prop up his fragile regime has obviously backfired: He now realizes it costs up to RM3 million to maintain the yacht, so his only option is a quick fire sale at a likely huge discount.

The U.S. government has repeatedly stated that it had no advance knowledge of Mahathir’s illegal seizure of the yacht. No doubt they had no advance notice of this brazen attempt at a quick sale either.

This illegal and costly act once again shows Mahathir’s interests are purely political and that he has no respect for the rule of law

Sounds similar act as the m&d forces ships illegally entering Spore waters and refusing to leave indeed.
