Apology to Hong Leong Bank FMT Reporters
On May 10, 2021, FMT published an article titled
“Hong Leong Allegedly Upset Over Order to Close HQ Due to HIDE” (“the Article”).
The Article was premised on information provided by a source who we believed to be in the know. However, we made an error in failing to seek clarification from Hong Leong Bank prior to publication.
As such, we removed the Article, which was published in both English and Bahasa Malaysia, from our portal and social media at 5.18pm on May 10, and retract all statements made therein.
We apologise to Hong Leong Bank Bhd for any distress, injury, embarrassment and inconvenience caused to the bank by the publication of the Article.
