This is the equivalent of going round the world registering myself variously as Daphne Galizia, Anne Caruana, Daphne Anne Galizia, Anne Galizia, Daphne Caruana, Daphne Anne Caruana, Anne Caruana Galizia…

    And we still haven’t answered the more important questions.

    Who really is Shiv Nair? How did he gain so much influence… across the globe?

    Who are his associates? Has anyone managed to make sense of the entanglement of companies and subsidiaries he is involved in?

    How did he end up debarred by the World Bank?

    What is his relationship with Joseph Muscat, Konrad Mizzi and Mario Vella?

      S.P. Nair
      Chairman Emeritus
      Mr. Nair, with over half a century of experience in international diplomacy and governance, is the guiding spirit behind the group.

      His business and personal contacts have helped the group in Sub-Saharan Africa and South East Asia, to tap into local networks of influence.

      Mr. Nair’s career spans decades with Multinational organizations and the United Nations, as well as the Governments of India, Sri lanka, Bangladesh, Nigeria, Afghanistan, Nepal and the Philippines.

        The Borneo Holdings website claims the guy, born in August 1961, has “half a century experience in international diplomacy and governance”. He really started young and I can really figuring him brokering deals and chewing off his Montecristo cigar when he was two years old.

      • The vagueness of this CV discredits it.

      • Macduff says:

        That answers nothing. Rather, it raises more questions than it tries to answer.

        Shiv Nair’s date of birth has been set as August, 1961 on a couple of links posted over here. If that’s true, he’s 52 years old. Which means he can’t have “over half a century of experience”.

        Furthermore, the very same link you posted lists two people with the “Nair” surname, and the biographical details are different. Is “SP Nair” Shiv Nair’s relative? Either that, or part of his obfuscated identity.

        And there’s no such thing as the “Scottish Business School”.

        [Daphne – His father appears to be in the mix, too: born 1933 and an almost identical name. He is the one who originally set up British North Borneo, using the name of a venerable but long defunct company from the days of the British Empire.]

  2. Swedish informant says:

    Nair is known as an ‘ economic hit man’.

  4. joes says:

    ‘with over half a century of experience……..’. That is surely a miracle since Nair states that he was born in 1961. That makes him just 52 years old. Either he is some sort of wonder kid or he is spinning yet another yarn.

    [Daphne – This is, apparently, a father-son combo, with one born in ’33 and the Maltese resident born in ’61.]
