Malaysia may give foreign insurers more time to sell stakes


Bloomberg quoted Khor as saying during a briefing that the insurer was looking at both the initial public offer and the sale of stake as options.

Foreign insurers are expected to be given additional time to comply with the ownership limit as long as they submit plans to show they have made progress in their divestment plans, said the people, who asked not to be identified as the process is private.
