KUALA LUMPUR (Mar 24): Malaysian Resources Corp Bhd (MRCB)'s sale of Platinum Sentral to Quill Capita Trust for RM750 million for cash and shares has become unconditional subsequent to the fulfilment of all the conditions in the sale and purchase agreement, the company said in an announcement today.
