Boardroom struggle grows at Malaysia's Landmarks
Article Abstract:
Informed sources reported an escalation in the internal rift within Malaysia's Landmarks Holdings Bhd., with board members accusing the company chairman and controlling shareholder Samsudin Abu Hassan of a plot to strip Landmarks of prime property holdings in South Africa. The dispute stems from Samsudin's cancellation of an earlier agreement to sell his 23.8% stake in the company to businessman Soh Chee Wen. The issue is now pending before a Malaysian court but both sides continue to hurl criticisms against each other.

Article Abstract:
Six financial institutions claim that Malaysian investment holding company Gadek Bhd. has violated the conditions of its bond guarantee agreement and may take legal action unless the company allots enough funds to redeem the bonds and supplies collateral to match its bond obligations. Gadek Bhd.'s inability to honor the bond repayment may be due to the stock market's poor performance and lack of progress in Malaysia's corporate restructuring.
