SkyGate to raise stake in SkyGate Integration to 95% via RM9.8mil share deal
In a filing with Bursa Malaysia, the telecommunications and technology firm said the purchase will be fully satisfied through the issuance of approximately 14.63 million new SkyGate shares at 67 sen per share.
This follows SkyGate's earlier announcement on April 15, 2025 regarding the acquisition of a 51% stake in SkyGate Integration for RM10.71mi cash.
As part of that deal, SkyGate Integration owed RM1.08mil to Ong, which was part of a loan from Kumpulan Modal Perdana Sdn Bhd (KMP).
Under the current proposal, SkyGate will settle the RM1.08mil owed to Ong by issuing 1.61 million new SkyGate shares at 67 sen per share.
Upon completion of the proposed acquisition, SkyGate Integration will become a 95%-owned subsidiary of the company.
SkyGate said the proposed acquisition is part of its long-term strategy to grow the group's business, strengthen operations, and deliver greater value to shareholders.
It added that the move will enhance its market position and support growth in the electrical and electronics (E&E) sector. SkyGate Integration's expertise in software development, system integration, and technology solutions complements the group's existing portfolio, allowing it to offer a wider range of services to more customers.

Singapore's Immigration and Checkpoints Authority to review Ong Beng Seng's PR status after he is fined for abetting obstruction of justice
Property tycoon Ong Beng Seng arriving at the State Courts on Aug 15. - Photo: ST SINGAPORE: Billionaire Ong Beng Seng's permanent resident (PR) status in Singapore will be reviewed after his conviction for abetting obstruction of justice. In response to queries from The Straits Times, an Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) spokesperson said on Friday (Aug 15) that Singapore permanent residents who have been convicted of an offence will have their PR status reviewed. 'ICA will review Mr Ong Beng Seng's permanent residency since he has been convicted and sentenced,' added the spokesperson. Ong, who is a Malaysian citizen, was fined S$30,000 on Aug 15 after he pleaded guilty earlier to one charge of abetting the obstruction of justice in a case linked to former transport minister S. Iswaran. The judge agreed with the prosecution and defence that judicial mercy should be exercised in this case due to Ong's ill health. Ong was born in Malaysia in 1946 and came to Singapore at the age of four. He worked in international insurance underwriting and broking in Europe, London and South-east Asia before joining Motor & General Underwriters Investment Holdings in the late 1960s. Ong married Christina Fu, herself a prominent businesswoman, in 1972. In 1975, he joined Kuo International, an oil trading company owned by his father-in-law Peter Fu. There, he made millions, accurately predicting the ups and downs of oil prices. The capital earned during this time is said to have helped finance his later investments and property developments. Ong set up Hotel Properties Limited (HPL) in 1980 and went on to acquire a number of hotels around the world, and properties in prime locations such as Orchard Road. On April 29, Ong stepped down as HPL managing director, with the tycoon indicating that he wanted to devote more time to managing his medical conditions. - The Straits Times/ANN

Singapore property tycoon linked to jailed minister fined S$30,000
SINGAPORE: Property tycoon Ong Beng Seng was fined S$30,000 ($23,000) by a Singapore court on Friday as part of a landmark case that led to the jailing of former Transport Minister S. Iswaran last year. Ong, the 79-year-old founder of Hotel Properties Ltd ( and rights holder to the Singapore Grand Prix, was accused of giving Iswaran, who was an adviser to the Grand Prix's steering committee, high-value gifts including tickets to the Formula One race, English Premier League soccer matches, and West End musicals. Ong last week pleaded guilty to one charge of abetting the obstruction of justice after arranging to bill Iswaran for a flight ticket months after it had taken place. A second charge of abetting an offence was also taken into consideration by the court. The S$30,000 was the maximum fine the court could impose. Ong, who was given a fine in lieu of three months' jail, stepped down as managing director of HPL in April. The case has attracted widespread public interest in Singapore, a wealthy financial hub that pays ministers salaries of more than S$1 million, which it says are needed to deter graft and prides itself on its reputation for clean governance. At last week's hearing, the prosecution and defence agreed that because Ong was in poor health with advanced cancer, he could be granted judicial mercy, which meant the court could impose a punishment more lenient than the normal punishment. In a written judgment, District Judge Lee Lit Cheng wrote: "The critical question is not whether an offender may receive a lower standard of healthcare in prison, but whether imprisonment would create heightened risks to the offender's life. "I am satisfied that the circumstances in this case are exceptional and meet the high threshold for the grant of judicial mercy." Iswaran was sentenced to 12 months in prison last October, the first time a former cabinet member had been jailed in Singapore. He had faced a total of 35 charges, two of which were corruption-related but were amended to charges of receiving S$384,340 worth of gifts from Ong while a public servant. In February, Iswaran was granted house arrest for the remainder of his sentence.
