Blockchain technology in Malaysia

According to the Malaysian Blockchain Regulatory Report prepared by the University of Malaya, Malaysia is acknowledged as a lucrative place for investment and innovation, and the Malaysian government is very supportive of start-ups, including internet based start-ups where the prospects of blockchain can be explored. In March 2017, local Small and Medium Scale Enterprises ("SMEs") in Malaysia were urged to adopt the usage of electronic trading platforms as it is almost compulsory for every business to be part of it. In line with the Malaysian government's aspiration, the incorporation of blockchain technology in electronic trading platforms would be attractive to SMEs as the need for middlemen intermediaries could be reduced or in some cases eliminated and this in turn reduces the transaction costs of running businesses.

The Malaysian government is seeking to explore blockchain solutions in the nation's three largest industries, namely, renewable energy, palm oil, and Islamic finance. The Malaysian Industry-Government Group for High Technology ("MIGHT") will be spearheading the move to adopt blockchain in each industry in order to increase transparency, sustainability, and logistical efficiency. MIGHT has said that Malaysia would be adopting blockchain by 2025, and Malaysian banks are already taking proactive steps to encourage its development in the country. The Board is of the view that blockchain technology is expected to offer enormous potential for bringing about radical change in wide range of industries, business models and operating processes, hence leading to a widespread adoption of this new technology.

The Board is of the view that the terms of the Possible Formation of the Joint Venture are fair and reasonable and the Possible Formation of the Joint Ventures is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
