SINGAPORE: Shares in MOL Global Inc, the first Malaysian company to list in the United States, fell more than 60% on Monday after the online payments company reported accounting errors at its Vietnam unit and a 61.5% fall in net profit.

The company, majority owned by billionaire Tan Sri Vincent Tan and the Sultan of Johor, is now trading 80% below the price it listed at on Oct 10. It is also facing two class action lawsuits from investors who said they had been misled by its listing prospectus.
