No strained ties between shareholders in MCIS Zurich
MCIS Zurich denies that there is strained ties between the 2 major shareholders: Koperasi MCIS Bhd, which owns 43.69%, and Zurich Asia Holdings Ltd, which owns 40% of MCIS Zurich.Zurich Asia Holdings Ltd is also not selling its stake in MCIS Zurich, according to CEO of MCIS Zurich.
Earlier, Business Times reported the alleged strained relationship due to the following:
- Zurich FS' proposal of selling 30% of MCIS Zurich to EON was blocked by Koperasi as Koperasi will lose its control on MCIS Zurich. The EON deal would improve MCIS Zurich's market share as EON Bank is currently giving its bancassurance business to Uni.Asia
- Zurich FS did not support Koperasi's proposal to apply for the new takaful licence unless Koperasi was willing to lose its control on MCIS Zurich
