QUESTION - Hee Hee Bhd is a public listed company and listed on Bursa Malaysia since 2014. In January 2015, Hee Hee Bhd had acquired 80% interest in Choo Choo Bhd for RM30 million. A fair valuation exercise conducted on the date of acquisition revealed that Choo Choo Bhd's fair value of net assets was equal to its carrying amounts.
