For the past 2 weeks after the IPO of AirAsia X has been closed, Maybank Investment had pumped in RM39.688 million to stabilize IPO of AirAsia X. Please don’t be alarmed by RM39.688 million. It is just a drop in the ocean to Maybank Investment. Hopefully we will see more fund will be pumped in by Maybank Investment to help to stabilize the share price of AirAsia X. The pumping in of fund by Maybank Investment should be viewed as a form of “national service” by Maybank Investment to help public listed companies to stabilize its IPO share. In return, we should help Maybank by buying its shares so that it could help more companies to stabilize their IPO shares. It might be an opportune moment for Maybank to have a new slogan “Now Everyone Can Buy Maybank shares” to attract more customers to join its effort for “nation building”. Background
