UALA LUMPUR: KPMG has agreed to a settlement valued at RM333 million (US$80 million) to resolve all claims related to its fiduciary duties on auditing of 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) accounts for the period of 2010 to 2012, the Ministry of Finance (MoF) said.
The settlement with KPMG, valued at more than 800 times the audit fees earned by KPMG, represents one of the largest 1MDB-related settlements by an audit firm in Southeast Asia, it said in a statement today.
. 1. Out of court settlement from KPMG to SD 2. KPMG partners get AOB strike off from register 3. Bursa issues SD no fault 4. SC denounces Kpmg's assertions 5. SC/Bursa rules that reporting to SC does not tantamount to immunity to due process and responsibility to capital markets.
Writing on the wall. Only flies stuck there to be swatted
i am so confused to read and digest all the comments here. i do not know what to do holding 23500 shares at 87.25 sen as average cost. it looks like it's a write off. if only those concern be honest in their dealings and management, people like me wouldn't have suffered.
Maybe it is related, KPMG may not expect gov sue them after good relationship in few decade, so the take different approach after 1MDB case, be more cautious will dealing with GLC.
Huatexpert The problem is for 1MDB cases, KPMG didnt spot the problem of 1MDB and actual case was 1MDB got problem. For Serba case is KPMG spotted there is problem with Serba Acc, Unless EY proof that there is no finding on the SIR then Serba got chance on KPMG case. SIR is major factor to determine Serba future direction. No SIR and delay SIR are bad for Serba share price at this moment. Funds wont buy any single share without clarification on the SIR outcome due to internal restriction, avoid this share due to uncertainty and waiting for SIR report... Who is major player in the Serba market now, Retail investors or speculators...

The 1MDB settlement is the Malaysian government was of hustling some money using DPA (Deferred Prosecution Agreement).

"Ex turpi causa non oritur actio" and the need for locus standi in filing an action.
Some thoughts below:
I believe that the suit will not proceed to trial. KPMG's lawyer, Lee H, ought to have applied to strike the suit. The suit is fundamentally flawed because the company cannot not be the plaintiff in filing the suit. Serba is asking for losses in the market capitalization, but gains or losses in market capitalization are by the shareholders, not the company.
The shareholders and creditors may have a cause of action if KPMG has negligently failed to detect financial irregularities and the company has subsequently gone bust. Under this scenario, the plaintiff will be shareholders and/or liquidator; and the defendants will be the directors, KPMG and the company (under a derivative action).
Even if the case were to go to trial, the odds are against Serba because:
- Lack of 'Clean Hands' - "Fraus omnia corrumpit" Till date, KPMG has done and said absolutely nothing that can possibly impact changes in Serba's share price. It was Serba's actions, press statements, press conferences and defamatory remarks that have caused the drop in the market capitalization
- Failed to mitigate losses The onus is on the client to provide evidence to the auditor for the accounts to be signed off. If the client is unhappy that the auditor is not willing to sign off the accounts, the client can change the auditor but certainly not compel the auditor to change their opinions. (Can an alcoholic slanted-eye person sue his doctor for not issuing a health certificate that is required to fly a commercial airplane?)
- Contradictory statements Alleging KPMG has impacted business and saying Business-As-Usual is blowing hot and cold
- Will not be able to gather witnesses Based on the reasons stated by the INEDs for their resignations coupled with unequivocal statements by SC and Bursa, Serba will not be able to gather any credible witness for their case.

SD will be paid next.

Haha 500+ posts majority in SD...
Try lah short tomorrow....
Let see how far you can go...
Serba is profitable company with 17 consecutive quarters profits. The only issue they have is Governance...
Clocking in 18 hours "hardwork" and 9 hours of "smart work" could yield very different results... those who work OT every night could be just chit chatting and doing nothing to impress that their bosses that they are "workng very hard"....LOL
rom legal perspectives,the shareholders who are the grievance parties and have suffered losses by placing reliance on the auditors reports could sue the auditors for negligence if proven successfully. The company is not a grievance party.
However,there is no sign of auditors' negligence so the suit against KPMG is untenable.
Dear PSAi3alert, Do I have a case against SC for non action?
I would like to bring the attention of SC to my long complaint case on Xingquan: [Case: SC2019-3819], [Case: SC2019-5725], [Case: SC2020-12313] (Bursa Ref: CC/43/19) First and foremost, I would like to express my gratitude and thanks to Bursa for enforcement actions against XINGQUAN and its directors for various breaches of the Listing Requirements (LR) as set out in the media release dated 29 March 2019 and also delisted Xigquan from Bursa. https://www.bursamalaysia.com/market_information/announcements/company_announcement/announcement_details?ann_id=2940952
Please pardon me to ask SC again Question 1: In view of the seriousness of offends/frauds committed by the fraudsters and their total disregard/contempt shown against authorities of SC and BURSA with no respect for Malaysia Law. Has SC made an extradition request with the Chinese government to extradite CEO Dato’ Wu and his brother executive director Wu Lianfu to stand trial in Malaysia Court?
Question 2: Refer google search: https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=gertop Xingquan brand products (Gertop) are available for sale at many online shopping websites. This means Xingquan still has production lines and assets in China but the China owner and Management team just took us Malaysians as fools and showed utmost contempt to SC and BURSA authorities/Malaysia law. Will SC now invoke CMSA 2007 section 358 (1) in the public interest, taking legal action against Xingquan to recover loss on behalf of victims who suffers loss or damage by reason of, or by relying on, the conduct of another person who has contravened any provision of Part VI or any regulations made under this Act, the amount of the loss or damage by instituting civil proceedings against the other person whether or not that other person has been charged with an offence in respect of the contravention or whether or not a contravention has been proved in a prosecution?
Question 3: Is SC investigating Xingquan External Auditor: SJ Grant Thornton, IPO: CIMB Investment Bank Berhad and PP & RI: RHB Investment Bank Berhad principal advisor, underwriter and placement agent for gross negligence and failure to perform their fiduciary duty?
SC response with some material information on above will be appreciated Thank you
