The Securities Commission (SC) has filed a civil suit against seven persons at the Kuala Lumpur High Court for alleged insider trading involving the shares of Worldwide Holdings Bhd, a company previously listed on Bursa Malaysia.
The seven – Datin Paduka Low Siew Moi, Datuk Ter Leong Yap, Ter Leong Hing, Tan Cheng Teik, Liaw Huat Hin, Hoi Main Seng and Chua Keng Hong – were alleged to have been involved in the insider trading of Worldwide shares between 2006 and 2007.
The SC claimed in a suit filed on May 18 that Low had communicated material non-public information, namely the proposed privatisation of Worldwide, which was undertaken by PKNS, to Tan, Liaw, Hoi, Chua, and Leong Yap, in breach of section 89E(3)(a) of the Securities Industry Act (SIA) 1983. Low was the deputy general manager of corporate affairs in PKNS and a director of Worldwide at the material time.
