KUALA LUMPUR (Oct 5): UWC Bhd said it has made a police report in relation to certain parties who have been impersonating its executive director and group chief executive officer (CEO) Datuk Ng Chai Eng, as well as employees, representatives and agents of the integrated engineering supporting services provider.

In a statement, the group said these unscrupulous parties have impersonated UWC through social networking sites.

"Correspondences via social networking sites that claim to be from UWC to seek personal information or engage in any form of business transaction are hoaxes.

"If the public is doubtful of the authenticity of any communiqué which they received from UWC, the public is strongly advised to contact UWC directly for verification, either by phone at +604–5556937 or by email at [email protected]," it said.

At 3.48pm, UWC's share price was down eight sen or 1.29% to RM6.10, giving a market capitalisation of RM6.71 billion.
