KUALA LUMPUR: Multi-Purpose Holdings Bhd (MPHB), which has planned to relist its gaming unit, Magnum Holdings Bhd is putting the plan on hold.

“The board of directors of MPHB wishes to state that the preliminary plans to relist Magnum as announced on August 3 and 4, 2010 has been placed on hold for the time being,” MPHB said in a statement to Bursa Malaysia yesterday.
