KWAP CEO Wan Kamaruzaman Wan Ahmad

KUALA LUMPUR: Taking the cue from Khazanah Nasional Bhd’s investment in tech start-ups, the country’s second-largest pension fund, Retirement Fund Inc (KWAP), has invested in car-hailing app Uber.

It is believed that the investment by KWAP in the tech start-up is about US$30mil (RM124.2mil) in the recent G series fundraising round that started last year.
