He did the same to Shell Gas back . The results in both under state is known and not worth repeating!Many more....lesson- Privatization does not mean to sell outright but to manage them correctly with best people. Govt can also do business efficiently eg Singapore Airline there were local examples too but now privatized.It all depends on Government Servants (not politicians) who are in charge of these institutions.</blockquote>
