Setting The Record Straight: No Affiliation With Any Political Parties
Recently, a newspaper article that linked OLDTOWN White Coffee to a political party was published. This article from Sin Chew Daily online, dated 2 November 2016 detailed a conversation between political persons from both the government and the opposition party revolving around the ownership of OLDTOWN White Coffee. DAP’s Dato’ Ngeh Khoo Ham made a claim that Datin Paduka Seri Hajjah Rosmah Mansor was a shareholder of OLDTOWN White Coffee and BN’s Dato’ Seri Dr. Ahmad Zahid Hamidi refuted this.
This is not the first time that this has happened. Similar claims about OLDTOWN White Coffee being affiliated to political parties had been made since 2012. Several political individuals from both political sides have been alleged to own shares in OLDTOWN White Coffee.
Once again, we would like to make clear that OLDTOWN White Coffee is not affiliated in any way, whether financially, politically or personally, to any political parties or persons. We have made this statement before yet the hearsays continue thus the need to re-address this issue. The clarification of OLDTOWN White Coffee’s non-affiliation can be further read here:
