SHAH ALAM, May 19 — Menteri Besar Selangor (Incorporation), or MBI, has denied involvement in the organisation, management, ownership, promotion or operation of the Bernam Maritime Industrial Park project and its launch, as circulated by Bernam Shipyard Holdings Sdn Bhd.
MBI clarified that it has never granted approval, permission or consent for the use of its name, logo, corporate identity or branding in relation to the ceremony.
“MBI Selangor would like to stress that the project, entity and launch ceremony are not connected to, supported by, affiliated with, or representing the company in any capacity.
“MBI Selangor has conducted an initial check with the Sabak Bernam District Council (MDSB), and, based on the information currently available, there is no official confirmation linking MBI Selangor and MDSB to the project or the launch ceremony.
“Any representation, statement, publication, promotional material or depiction suggesting the project or launch event has any connection, support, endorsement or association with MBI Selangor is inaccurate, misleading and unauthorised,” read an MBI statement issued today.
MBI urged all parties involved to immediately cease the use of its name, logo, branding or any form of representation suggesting a relationship with the company without proper written consent.
The company said it reserves the right to take action to protect its corporate identity, reputation and legal interests.
“MBI Selangor seriously views the unauthorised use of its name, logo and branding elements in promotional and publicity materials related to the event and project.
“This unauthorised use could lead to confusion and misunderstanding among stakeholders, investors, government agencies, business partners and the public,” the statement said.
MBI also advised the public and stakeholders to refer only to official announcements issued through its official channels.
