Tanjung Offshore non-independent director Tan Kean Soon has lodged a report with the Securities Commission (SC) Malaysia on irregularities conducted by certain officials in the company.
He said the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) had also been informed of the alleged improprieties.
Local media reported that Tan had requested the SC to conduct an in-depth investigation into the alleged commercial fraud. He has listed in the report several cases of alleged abuse of funds, among them a failed chromite sand venture in the Philippines, an aborted offshore services vessels venture, and property purchase in the United Kingdom.
He has also disclosed activities of certain individuals that he deemed to have cost Tanjung Offshore hefty management fees.
