Bursa Malaysia Securities views the contraventions seriously as the timely and accurate submission of financial statements and the corporate governance requirements on composition of the BOD, AC and internal audit function are fundamental obligations of listed companies and of paramount importance in ensuring a fair and orderly market for securities traded on Bursa Malaysia Securities and necessary to aid informed investment decisions.
What would Bursa Malaysia do by tracking down and punish the “real culprit” of all these nominees - the ruthless potential criminal Mak Lin Kum? What about the “real master mind” that originated a board hostile take over and inspired the copy cat of Mak Lin Kum and gang of raiders?
Maybe its time the authorities look higher up from the bird view to look at facts and motives from criminal point of view to catch the real crooks, in order to restore confidence and justice to innocent investors, especially minority shareholders of Wintoni Group Berhad.
