KUALA LUMPUR (Sept 30): Bursa Malaysia Securities on Friday (Sept 30) publicly reprimanded and fined six directors of Brem Holding Bhd for failing to take reasonable care over advances totalling RM26.46 million made to a private company. The exchange imposed a fine of RM200,000 on Brem’s managing director Tan Sri Khoo Chai Kaa, and RM50,000 each on executive directors Khoo Chai Thiam and Low Yew Hwa, independent director Wong Miow Song, and non-independent directors Khoo Hui Keam and Khoo Hui Giok. Bursa noted that Brem had in November 2014 acquired a 49% shareholding in GJH Prestige Sdn Bhd (GJHP) from GJH Holdings Sdn Bhd (GJHH). Bursa noted that Brem continued to make advances, and GJHP had only repaid RM1.6 million to Brem in August 2017. The remaining advances amounting to RM24,863,650 remained unpaid, nearly eight years after Brem had first provided the advances in 2014.
