Recent Corporate News
Former deputy religious affairs minister Datuk Ahmad Marzuk Shaary called for a detailed review of the financial health of Urusharta Jamaah Sdn Bhd (UJSB).
UJSB had divested its stake in NexG Bhd (now Datasonic Group Bhd) before Datasonic secured substantial contracts for passports and identity cards.
Mr. Shaary questioned the timing and commercial rationale of the sale, noting that NexG subsequently secured long‑term contracts running until 2032.
He urged Parliament to disclose the asset value, proceeds, and any realised loss from the transaction, and to consider a forensic audit of UJSB’s dealings.
Reports of a proposed acquisition of Datasonic’s wholly owned unit were later shelved.
UJSB’s rising liabilities and accumulated losses were cited as reasons for increased scrutiny.
