Case File No. 12 · A two-branch holding company with no exitTan Chong: if nobody writes down the exit, the exit is a lawsuit

Two brothers brought Datsun to Malaysia in 1957 and put the family's listed shares inside one private company. They wrote down who owned it, not how anyone could leave.

Eight years, a lost board seat and a Federal Court appeal later, the family signed an exit formula out of court and the petition was withdrawn.
