KUALA LUMPUR: My EG Services Bhd (MyEG) is buying a 67% stake in the EatDrinkKL digital platform that provides reviews and news on the food and beverage businesses.

In a filing with Bursa Malaysia, the e-Government services provider said its unit My EG Capital Sdn Bhd had entered into a shareholders agreement with Essential Reviews Sdn Bhd - the sole owner of the EatDrinkKL’s intellectual property rights - and its only shareholder Sean Cornelius Yoong Wan Yen to purchase the stake.

MyEG said the investment in Essential Reviews would allow it to expand its business in the online space which would complement its existing commercial services.
