Privatisation in this sense, confusingly, means the opposite of the more common usage. MH was already listed on the stock exchange, but now the government will buy all the shares held by investors (through state-owned Khazanah) and restructure it.

Any reasonable person would say the airline is being nationalised, but investment bankers don't like to use terms like that.
