Nationgate says IRB investigation completed, records in order


KUALA LUMPUR: Nationgate Holdings Bhd has announced that it has received a notification from the Inland Revenue Board (IRB) that it has completed its investigation and found the company's records to be proper.

The electronics manufacturer said in a stock exchange filing its bank account that had been previously earmarked by the Malaysian Anti Corruption Commission (MACC) has also been regularised.

"The company will ensure that the group will continue to be managed with the highest level of integrity, transparency and strict regulatory discipline, ensuring that all procedures are conducted in full compliance of applicable laws and requirements," it said.
