Earlier this year, Masterskill’s two major shareholders Creador LLC and SMRT Holdings Bhd ([You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] Financial Dashboard) had revealed a turnaround plan for the education group, which involved renaming the education group to Asiamet Education Group Bhd. Masterskill had been loss making for the past two years.
