KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 8 (Bernama) -- Media Prima Bhd has clarified that tycoon Tan Sri Syed Mokhtar Albukhary-linked Aurora Mulia Sdn Bhd still holds 31.90 per cent stake or 353.81 million shares in the company.
Yesterday, Media Prima made three announcements to Bursa Malaysia regarding the cessation of Sutera Bakti Sdn Bhd, Tradewinds Group (M) Sdn Bhd, and Restu Jernih Sdn Bhd as indirect substantial shareholders.
