Eastland


It is in the midst of corporate tussle between the existing board of directors and disgruntled minority shareholders due to differing opinions regarding the company’s future plans and a proposed private placement exercise.

It was reported that Mohd Nazifuddin Najib, who is PM Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s second son, is bidding control over EastLand against a group led by Sabah business magnate Teh Soon Seng. Nazifuddin;s involvement in Eastland may have been due to his link to the Kelantan royal family through his mother Tengku Puteri Zainah Tengku Iskandar.
