The 5 companies that Khazanah Nasional invested in may surprise you !!!

First of all, we have to bid farewell to Tan Sri Datuk Azman Mokhtar for his great leadership and guiding the investment arm of our government - Khazanah Nasional Bhd - for the past 14 years. Also, this should extend to all board members who were collectively resigned voluntarily last month.


Khazanah Nasional Berhad is the strategic investment fund of the Government of Malaysia. We are entrusted to hold and manage the commercial assets of the Government, and to undertake strategic investments on behalf of the nation.


Spectacular performance for the past 14 years !!!
RAV: Market value of all equities, securities and cash held;
NWA: RAV less Total Liabilities and adjusted to measure value created



Interesting companies that were invested by Khazanah Nasional Bhd:



It's no stranger to the world. The company provides the fundamental technology infrastructure and marketing reach to help merchants, brands and other businesses that provide products, services and digital content to leverage the power of the internet to engage with their users and customers. Alibaba’s businesses are comprised of core commerce, cloud computing, digital media and entertainment, innovation initiatives and others. Through investee affiliates, it also participates in the logistics and local services sectors.

From this investment alone, it was reported that Khazanah made a handsome RM6billion profit from it.




Sea, headquartered in Singapore, was founded in 2009 by Forrest Li with the mission to better the lives of consumers and small businesses in the region with technology. Since its inception, Sea, previously known as Garena, has grown swiftly to become a leading platform provider for online PC and mobile digital content, e-commerce and payments across Southeast Asia and Taiwan, serving millions of users.

Through Sea, Khazanah reaped the fruits when the company was being listed on the NYSE end 2017. Still no idea of what the company does? Think about below two things...

The popular online game is from a subsidiary of Sea
The online e-commerce website having a foothold in the south-east Asian contries






Or called "Word of Mouth", the company began life in 2015, groomed by Alibaba and its payment affiliate Ant Financial Services Group, to tap into the location-based assortment of catering and entertainment businesses. This is one of the latest new tech company that was invested by Khazanah following the two previous successful ones.

Koubei, a restaurant review and local services platform under Alipay, rolled out its standalone mobile app recently, as it elbowed its way into China's red hot online-to-offline commerce industry, which is now worth hundreds of billions of dollars.




Formerly known as China Smart Logistics, the logistics affiliate of Alibaba Group, is dedicated to meeting the current and future logistics demands of China’s online and mobile commerce sector. It operates a logistics information platform which provides real-time access to information for both buyers and sellers, as well as information that allows delivery service providers to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of their services.

As the business of Alibaba/Taobao/Lazada grows, this company will be the prime beneficiary of the booming e-commerce business. It's not a surprise for you to know this company, if you're one of the online traders.




Created in 2010 the company is a recognized global pioneer and leader in a sector that is already disrupting business models and will revolutionize the whole of society. What sector is it? Answer is the awesome 'IoT' (internet of things) which is a famous jargon in the 21st century.

Billions of objects worldwide will be connected to the Internet; their data will be stored in the cloud and will participate in the digitalization of our environment. Wow @@! This is just so cool and exciting.
