If there was "meat" on the bone, then it should have been available for chewing by shareholders at MIIF and not at APTT with extra fees, bonus payments, etc. The responsibility for getting the better valuation belonged to the MIIF Board to procure from the manager of the fund, MIMAL.

And, show some love: MIIF shareholders are owed more than one chilli from MIMAL.

Just curious. How many lots did u ATM for??

On a separate note : is Asia Pay TV the sort of infrastructure I should be interested in? Theoretically, if I was to take a (initial?) loss on infrastructure plays, it should be on infrastructure that is really useful; not Pay-TV infrastructure.
