According to Farhash Wafa, his shares in HeiTech Padu Bhd through the company Rosetta Partners Sdn Bhd was jointly owned by Sultan of Kelantan Sultan Muhammad V.

“For the record, Rosetta Partners Sdn Bhd is fully owned by the company Mfivesouthsea Sdn Bhd which is jointly owned by me and His Highness Sultan Muhammad V and not by me as claimed by a few opposition MPs.

“The ownership of these shares is also part of the investment strategy between me and Sultan Muhammad V to help bumiputra companies,” he adds.
