KUALA LUMPUR: SMTrack Bhd has sold off its remaining 31.61% equity interest in Smartag International Inc (SII) for US$6,000 (RM23,636) on the over-the-counter market in the US on Tuesday.

Save for Yow Lock Sen, who is the chief executive officer and major shareholder of SMTrack and director of SII, none of the director, major shareholders of SMTrack and persons connected to them have any interest, direct or indirect, in the disposal. Yow has no interest, direct or indirect (other than via SMTrack), in the shares of SII.
