Shah alam: Menteri Besar Selangor (Incorporated) (MBI Selangor) has denied any involvement in the organisation, management, ownership, promotion, or operation of the Bernam Maritime Industrial Park project and its launch ceremony, as circulated by Bernam Shipyard Holdings Sdn Bhd.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, MBI Selangor further clarified that it has never granted any approval, permission, or consent for the use of its name, logo, corporate identity, or branding materials in relation to the activity. The company emphasized that the project, entity, and launch ceremony are not connected to, supported by, affiliated with, or representing MBI Selangor 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. Consequently, any representation, statement, publication, promotional material, or depiction suggesting that the project or launch event has any connection, support, endorsement, or association with MBI Selangor is deemed inaccurate, misleading, and unauthorized, according to a statement issued today.

MBI Selangor 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 stated it reserves the right to take any necessary action to protect its corporate identity, reputation, and legal interests.

The statement highlighted that MBI Selangor views seriously the unauthorized use of its name, logo, and branding elements in promotional and publicity materials related to the event and project. This unauthorized use could lead to confusion and misunderstanding among stakeholders, investors, government agencies, business partners, and the public.

Following that, the public, stakeholders, and related parties are advised to refer only to official announcements issued through MBI Selangor's official channels.
