The reason for blocking is due to the ongoing investigation on some of KIA’s minority shareholders by Satgas BLBI. As a result, KIA’s Annual General Meeting of Shareholders resolution for the year 2022 for the changes of Board of Commissioners has yet to be updated to the MOLHR system, and therefore, the notification letter of the change of company data could not be issued from the system.
It should be noted that KIA’s Founder has no relation to SCC and this disclosure of information has no significant impact on SCC.
