Type Announcement
Subject WINDING UP OF TELEKOM CONSULTANCY SDN BHD
Contents Telekom Malaysia Berhad (“TM”) wishes to announce that it has presented a winding-up petition to the High Court of Malaya at Kuala Lumpur (“Winding-up”), in respect of its 51% subsidiary, Telekom Consultancy Sdn. Bhd. (Company No. 178077-U) (“TCSB”).

The Winding-up petition is presented pursuant to Section 217(1)(c) of the Companies Act, 1965 (“CA 1965”) on the ground that it is just and equitable to do so.
Information on TCSB


TCSB is a joint venture (JV) company between TM (51%) and Bell Canada International Inc. (49%) (hereinafter referred to as “Bell”) incorporated on 21 January 1989. It was established for the purpose of providing consultancy services in particular telecommunications and engineering services within Malaysia as well as to and from overseas and to promote and sell Customer Automated Services Systems (CASS). Its present authorised and issued and paid-up capital are RM2,000,000-00 comprising 2,000,000 ordinary shares of RM1.00 each and RM1,000 comprising 1000 ordinary shares of RM1.00 each respectively.


Rationale for the Winding-up:

The Winding-up of TCSB was decided based on the following rationale:

  1. TCSB had ceased its operation since 1994 and its continued existence means that it will continuously be subject to the corporate regulatory requirements of the CA 1965 and incur operating expenses relating to the same.
  2. The failure of TCSBs’ shareholder for the remaining 49% of its shares to comply with her obligations as a member/shareholder, has resulted in TCSB’s inability to comply with its own corporate regulatory requirements of the CA 1965.

Financial Effects of the Winding-up

The Winding-up will not have any material effect to the consolidated earnings of TM Group for the year ending 31 December 2009.


Directors’ and Substantial Shareholders’ Interest

None of the Directors and Substantial Shareholders of TM or persons connected with them has any interest, direct or indirect, in the Winding-up.

TM will make a further announcement in respect of any material development in this matter from time to time.

This Announcement is dated 16 March 2009.
