Kuala Lumpur, 22 June 2010 - Pursuant to our earlier press statement on 17 June, 2010, we wish to reiterate that Kuwait Finance House (Malaysia) Berhad (KFHMB) continues to be rated by Malaysian Rating Corporation Berhad (MARC). At the parent level, KFH Group is rated by global rating agencies namely Standard & Poor’s, Fitch Ratings, Moody’s and Capital Intelligence. KFHMB’s decision to discontinue its rating services by RAM Ratings Sdn Bhd is a result of its cost rationalisation exercise and is aimed at streamlining KFHMB’s rating practices to that of the Parent and Group.
