- Federal Land Development Authority
- https://www.ft.com/content/44e04f0a-ccd6-11e6-864f-20dcb35cede2 The Malaysian opposition has attacked a state company’s investment in a palm oil project in Indonesia, saying it is a costly handout to a foreign businessman connected to Prime Minister Najib Razak. Malaysia’s state-owned Federal Land Development Authority, known as Felda, plans to buy a 37 per cent stake in Eagle High, controlled by Indonesian conglomerate Rajawali Group, for $505m. The deal will be financed by the Malaysian government, Felda says. Felda, which is the world’s biggest producer of crude palm oil by volume through its listed unit Felda Global Ventures, says the deal gives it access to a swath of new territory in a neighbouring country at a time when plantation land is growing scarce in Malaysia. The development of palm oil projects in Indonesia is controversial because land is often cleared for agriculture through burning, creating a choking, toxic haze that drifts across the region each year. Palm oil is a ubiquitous ingredient in products as varied as shampoo and fish fingers.
Johor Corporation (JCorp) or Perbadanan Johor is a Malaysian government-linked company, formerly known as the "Johor State Economic Development Corporation" (JSEDC). Formed in 1968, it is part of the government’s affirmative action programs to restructure its multi-ethnic society by eradicating the economic imbalance between the Malays and the non-Malays. Malaysian "state economic development corporations" were designed to break away from the bureaucratic binds of a regular government department and to become a commercially oriented investment arm of the respective state governments. The company vehicle number plates are 2692 or 2962.It is the only Malaysian state economic development corporation to have its business extended to another state.JSEDC commenced its operations in August 1970 with the appointment of Othman bin Mohd Saat, the then Chief Minister of Johor, as its chairman and Basir Bin Ismail as its chief executive. Its first office was located at Level 2, Sultan Ibrahim Building, Johor Bahru, with two staff. The corporation's current office is at Persada Johor. JSEDC changed its name to Johor Corporation at the end of 1995. As a public enterprise entity, JCorp has played a major role to foster economic growth in the state, particularly in several high potential economic sectors including agro-business, industrial development, propertyand others. It was also responsible for the creation of Pasir Gudang, an industrial township in south east Johor. Since 1 July 1977, JCorp has been appointed as the local council of Pasir Gudang, the first local council in Malaysia to be privatised, under a five-yearly arrangement.
Sime Darby Berhad (MYX: 4197) is a Malaysian trading conglomerate. Its core businesses operate in and serve the industrial, plantation, motors and logistics sectors as well as the healthcare, insurance, and retail segments. The modern Sime Darby Berhad corporation was created in 2007 through a merger of three companies.In October 1910, British businessmen William Sime and Henry Darby established Sime, Darby and Co., a fledgling player in the lucrative rubber industry. The company later diversified to cultivating palm oil and cocoa and met with enormous success. At the time of the company's founding, William Middleton Sime was a 37-year-old Scottish adventurer and fortune seeker. He had two failed ventures behind him – one in import-export business and the other in coffee plantations – when he left his job as a mercantile assistant in Singapore. Henry Darby was a wealthy 50-year-old English banker who owned property in Northern Malaya. A senior partner of the audit firm of the Sime Darby group was found dead in September 1973.[3][4] In two suicide letters, he alleged he was doped and deceived by Dennis Pinder, chairman and managing director of Sime Darby, related to the audit of Sime Darby.[4] Subsequently, Dennis Pinder was alleged that he misappropriated over S$3 million.[4] At that time, Sime Darby was one of the largest companies in Singapore and Malaysia. Pinder was jailed after pleading guilty to criminal breach of trust in October 1975. In 1977 Sime Darby Holdings was acquired by Malaysian investors – mainly through Tradewinds (Malaysia) Sendirian Berhad. In December 1979 with the incorporation of two new Malaysian entities, Sime Darby Berhad (SDB) and Consolidated Plantations Berhad (CPB), Sime Darby moved its headquarters to Kuala Lumpur and became a Malaysian registered and managed concern.

- A CHINESE financial institution is eyeing a stake in AMMB Holdings Bhd, whose major shareholders are said to be open to divesting their stakes. However, talks on the matter may be preliminary, as banking mergers and acquisitions (M&As) need the support of the central bank. AMMB’s single-largest shareholder is Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Ltd (ANZ) with 24%, while Tan Sri Azman Hashim, who is chairman and founder of the bank, has an indirect 16.8% stake. The suitor being mentioned in banking circles is Bank of China (M) Bhd (BoC), which already has a presence in the country as a full-fledged foreign commercial bank since 2001. According to sources, it has its eye on ANZ’s block, although there is a possibility that part of Azman’s shares may be combined in a possible sale. There is a 30% limit on strategic foreign shareholdings for commercial banks. This limit can, however, be raised on a case-by-case basis.http://orientaldaily.on.cc/cnt/finance/20150906/00202_006.html

- Utusan Malaysia (Jawi: اوتوسن مليسيا; literally The Malaysian Courier) was a Malay-language newspaper published in Malaysia. Distinctive for its blue masthead as its logo and trademark, Utusan Malaysia was first published in Jawi in 1939. Utusan Malaysia became an influential medium for the people to voice out their opinions towards the ruling of the British Government in Malaya. After its acquisition by UMNO in the 1960s, the paper gradually took on a strident pro-Malay stance, often at the expense of non-Bumiputra minorities in the country. Despite initial reports that Utusan Malaysia and its sister papers Mingguan Malaysia, Kosmo!, and Kosmo! Ahad would be shutting down in mid-August 2019, the newspaper's publisher Utusan Group announced that they would continue publishing after receiving a RM$1.6 million cash injection from the United Malays National Organisation (UMNO).[4][5] Though Utusan ceased operations on 9 October 2019,[6][7][8] it was subsequently reported that the Utusan would resume publication on 1 November 2019 after Syed Mokhtar Al-Bukhary's Aurora Mulia acquired a majority stake in Utusan's wholly-owned subsidiary Dilof Sdn Bhd.
