Media Prima Bhd
Media Prima Bhd is a company many entrepreneurs would like to get a hold of, as its portfolio encompasses electronics, print, digital and out-of-home media platforms, giving anyone who controls the group unparalleled reach to the masses.
This could the reason behind tycoon Tan Sri Syed Mokhtar Al-Bukhary’s emergence as a substantial shareholder in the group in 2018 after the 14th General Election. Syed Mokhtar has been known to be a close ally of former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.
Politics aside, Syed Mokhtar is no stranger to the media industry. He owns The Malaysian Reserve, a financial daily. For Media Prima, however, it seems that Syed Mokhtar wants to expand the group beyond media content production.
