QUESTION 3
Muntajat Sdn Bhd (MSB) is a SME with its registered office in Sepang, Selangor. It was
incorporated in January 1995 as “Muntajat Manzila Sdn Bhd” before becoming a public listed
company in 2002 under the then second board of the Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange (now
Bursa Malaysia). The public listed company used the name “MM Bhd” and was mainly
involved in the production of halal household products.
After 7 years of profitable business, MM Bhd faced serious setbacks in its business
operations due to poor governance and declining demand for its products. Some of its
business assets have to be sold in 2010 to repay its loans, and some of the assets were
placed under receivership. Finally, in 2013, MM Bhd sold its business to another public listed
company. Through a series of share buybacks and capital reduction exercises, MM Bhd
managed to downsize the company and in 2017 finally changed its status into a private
limited company, using the name Muntajat Sdn Bhd (MSB).
MSB is practically a dormant company with the exception of a few activities. It still pays a
regular payment to July Bank Bhd (JBB) for the piece of land and the building used as its
registered office. Both assets have been charged to JBB. It also spends on administrative
expenses. In 2019, the Board decided to cease the operation of the company.
