PETALING JAYA: Kossan Rubber Industries Bhd has clarified that the fire at a paint factory in Meru Industrial Park, Klang on Monday will have no material impact on its financial and operations and its subsidiaries.
Berjaya Corp Bhd's founder and major shareholder Tan Sri Vincent Tan Chee Yioun intends to pare his stake to 19.6% from 26%, paving the way for the diversified group's potential acquisition of a 51% stake in a financial services company.
Kossan Rubber Industries Bhd founder Tan Sri Lim Kuang Sia had in recent days raised his indirect stake in the rubber glove manufacturer after buying 7.06 million shares in his first Kossan share buy in about three months after the Employees Provident Fund (EPF) sold Kossan shares on the open market as investors evaluated the impact of the Covid-19 vaccine-led economic recovery on the rubber glove manufacturing sector.
