Lawsuit issue: Fazura leaves it to her lawyers
Despite being repeatedly pressed by the claimant as well as by netizens on social media to address the issue, the celebrity has remained silent, going about her daily life, including promoting her headscarves on social media.
Speaking to reporters at a press conference after launching the music video of her latest single 'Luar Biasa' here last night, Fazura, 41, said the lawsuit against her company is a confidential matter and has been handed over to her lawyers for further action. Fazura, who is also a singer and television host, said she preferred not to comment further as it involves two separate entities.
'Honestly, there's nothing I can explain because we have to understand that I, Fazura, and the company are two different entities. I can't comment on company matters as that is beyond my scope as an individual. The company is the company, and Fazura is me personally, that's the distinction.
'So really, I can't say much about the company or whatever is going on. I've left all my company-related matters to my lawyers to take action,' she said.
Fazura made these remarks when asked by reporters to comment on the RM4.65 million lawsuit filed by a headscarf supplier against her company Pink Fate Sdn Bhd.
Admitting that she is affected by the controversy, the 'Pisau Cukur' star said such issues are among the challenges any entrepreneur must face.
'What haven't I gone through in the past eight months? Of course, I've been affected. I'm not someone without feelings but as an entrepreneur, I understand this is normal. I don't think it's necessary to explain, because outsiders may not understand and could twist the facts,' she said.
'I know the business I'm running isn't a small one and I'm confident all entrepreneurs out there will understand the challenges that come with being in the business world,' she added.
According to media reports early last month, headscarf manufacturer Obor Holding Sdn Bhd is taking legal action against Pink Fate for allegedly owing the company RM4.65 million. Obor Holding claimed that Pink Fate had only paid RM2.68 million out of the total RM7.3 million value of headscarves supplied since June 2022. — BERNAMA

India regulator bars Jane Street from local securities market
KUALA LUMPUR: India's market regulator said it had barred US trading company Jane Street from accessing the local securities market, after an investigation into its alleged market manipulation through positions taken in equities derivatives. The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) posted an interim order on its website dated July 3 outlining that Jane Street would no longer be able to participate in the domestic securities market. "Entities are restrained from accessing the securities market and are further prohibited from buying, selling or otherwise dealing in securities, directly or indirectly," the SEBI notice said, referring to Jane Street entities. SEBI also said it would "impound" RM2.68 billion (US$566.71 million) from Jane Street, which it said were "unlawful gains earned" from the alleged misconduct. "Jane Street disputes the findings of the SEBI interim order and will further engage with the regulator. Jane Street is committed to operating in compliance with all regulations in the regions we operate around the world," the firm said in an emailed comment. News of SEBI's actions comes as half a dozen global trading firms, from Citadel Securities and IMC Trading to Millennium and Optiver, are ratcheting up their presence in India's booming derivatives markets. SEBI said Jane Street's activity on existing positions would be monitored until the regulator's investigation is finalised.

Bursa Malaysia ends higher for third straight session
KUALA LUMPUR: Bursa Malaysia maintain its upward momentum to end higher for the third consecutive session, supported by continued buying in selected industrial products and services as well as healthcare counters, an analyst said. Press Metal and IHH Healthcare were the top two gainers, rising 17 sen and 10 sen to RM5.18 and RM6.82, respectively, contributing a combined 3.90 points to the gains in the benchmark index. At 5 pm, the FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI (FBM KLCI) rose 4.80 points, or 0.31 per cent, to 1,532.96 from last Thursday's close of 1,528.16. The FBM KLCI, which opened 5.25 points higher at 1,533.41, moved between 1,526.30 and 1,538.10 throughout the trading session. However, the broader market was negative with 531 gainers outnumbering 443 decliners, while 506 counters were unchanged, 959 untraded and 102 suspended. Turnover surged to 3.57 billion units worth RM2.68 billion against 2.90 billion units worth RM2.23 billion on Thursday last week. Rakuten Trade Sdn Bhd equity research vice-president Thong Pak Leng said regionally, the markets were mostly higher as investors digest key data releases, including China's June purchasing managers index (PMI) readings and May industrial output from South Korea and Japan. "China's manufacturing sector shrank for a third straight month in June, raising expectations for additional stimulus amid persistent trade tensions with the United States (US)," he told Bernama. Back home, Thong noted that the local market is showing encouraging signs of recovery, marked by weakening bearish momentum, rising trading volume, and gradually improving investor sentiment. "For the moment, we anticipate the FBM KLCI to fluctuate between 1,520 and 1,550 for the week," he said. Among other heavyweights, Maybank lost 11 sen to RM9.70, Public Bank dropped 3.0 sen to RM4.31, Tenaga Nasional gained 12 sen to RM14.38, CIMB fell 1.0 sen to RM6.79, and CelcomDigi rose 3.0 sen to RM3.93.
