The CMA: Compensation for Investors Affected by Violations Committed in the Shares of 'Watani Iron Steel Co.'

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia, July 25 (Bernama) -- The Capital Market Authority (CMA) announces the completion of compensation for investors affected by the violations committed in the shares of Watani Iron Steel Co., which occurred before and after the company's direct listing on the Parallel Market (Nomu). These violations were committed by five individuals convicted under the decision issued by the Appeal Committee for Resolution of Securities Disputes (ACRSD), published on the websites of the CMA and the GS-CRSD on April 4, 2024. The decision, resulting from the penal lawsuit filed by the Public Prosecution and referred by the Capital Market Authority, obligated them to pay SAR 41.4 million in illegal gains resulting from these violations. The compensations were deposited into the accounts of the affected investors through the Compensation Fund, which was established pursuant to a resolution of the CMA's Board to compensate affected parties in accordance with the distribution plan approved by the CRSD. This facilitates the compensation process and ensures that entitlements are delivered to their rightful owners with minimal effort.

Berjaya Tioman Resort champions sustainability for 40th anniversary

TIOMAN: For 40 years, Berjaya Tioman Resort has stood as a beacon of hospitality along the South China Sea. Its anniversary marks not just a milestone but a renewed commitment to sustainability, blending luxury with eco-conscious practices. The resort's evolution includes upgraded facilities and personalised guest experiences, all while prioritising environmental conservation. Since its establishment in 1985 as Berjaya Group's first hotel, it has championed green initiatives, from eliminating single-use plastics to coral planting programmes. 'Among our sustainability practices are waste reduction efforts such as eliminating single-use plastics in rooms, promoting linen reuse, and supporting reef-safe tourism activities,' said resort representatives during a media trip organised by Berjaya Land Bhd. Beyond policy, the resort fosters grassroots conservation, collaborating with a local turtle hatchery. Though unofficial, this partnership includes material support and guest participation in hatchling releases, raising awareness of marine preservation. Community integration is equally vital. The resort shares amenities like its swimming pool and football field with locals, while its workforce includes second-generation islanders. This dual focus on environment and social responsibility defines its sustainability model. For staff like Tonny a/l Johan, an Orang Asli landscaper, conservation is personal. 'There are a lot of trees native to this area, so we try to preserve them,' he told Bernama. His team uses organic trimmings for composting, contributing to the resort's green efforts. Tonny's passion mirrors Tioman's broader ethos—where sustainability isn't just enforced but lived. 'I've always loved work like this because it makes me feel connected to nature,' he shared. - Bernama
