"We trust that if investors are in as long as possible, we will get the help, as this activity will be useful for everybody.
"In the most dire outcome imaginable – if no one takes up the offers – parent organization Permodalan Nasional Bhd (PNB) has resolved to subscribe to the whole rights issue. Along these lines, the gathering will in any case get the RM1.8bil that it needs.
"In any case, I don't trust that it will end up like that," he told StarBiz.

The rights issue cost speaks to a rebate of 24.0% to the TERP.
The main part of the returns, or RM1.5bil, from the sum raised will be put towards diminishing obligations, while the adjust will be put towards working capital.
Rohaizad said this would bring down the gathering's obligation level from about RM4.1bil right now to RM2.3bil, or the outfitting level from 1.81 times to 0.56 times.
"The rights issue is pivotal to guarantee the organization can advance, climate the present circumstance and extend later on.
"It will help bring down obligation, which implies we will be spending less on premium installments and there will be less weight on money.
"Our primary concern will enhance and there will be more money for operational necessities," he said.
The rights issue was first declared as a component of a bigger arrangement that would see its parent organization, UMW Property Bhd, leaving the oil and gas (O&G) business, which had been dragging its benefits down.
The parent organization had wanted to leave the business through a progression of corporate activities, incorporating a profit in specie and a capital infusion by PNB into another augmented O&G equip.
UMW Property said it would convey its 55.7% stake in UMW-OG to investors, after which, UMW-OG would assume control Ekuiti Nasional Bhd's 42.3% stake in Symbol Seaward Bhd, and later procure Orkim Sdn Bhd.
Later on May 4, the arrangement to secure Symbol Seaward and Orkim was canceled, with UMW-OG refering to capital requirements and vulnerabilities in the business.
Following the end of the arrangement, UMW-OG has said it anticipated that would come back to benefit one year from now, as its boring apparatuses come back to full use.
