  "summary": "JCorp, a Malaysian conglomerate, has refuted claims linking its group to Indonesian plantation companies involved in forest and land fires, as reported by WALHI. In a statement, JCorp clarified that it does not own or operate any plantation outside Malaysia, and that it divested its interests in several Indonesian companies through its wholly owned subsidiary, Kulim, in 2007. The disposals were completed in 2007 and 2023, with no ongoing ownership or operational involvement in the companies in question. JCorp emphasized that the continued publication of these claims creates a false impression, causing reputational harm to the group and the Johor State Government.",
