In 2006, MTSB had a joint ventures with Turkistan Global Services Sdn Bhd (TGS) to form a new entity, Malaysian Turkistan Travel Sdn Bhd (MTT), in the purpose of exploring travel business opportunities in Turkistan. In this entity, MTSB holds 40% of the shares whereas the others held by TGS. However, there was no progress after the forming of MTT. He recalled that his friend, Norehan who had worked in MTT before. She told Mr. Idris that the company may have been established under fraudulent circumstances and the staff’s morale was very low due to late salary payment.

During investigation, Agoos found out that MTSB only had a few staff and the company operations were severely curtailed due to lack of funds. Besides, there were no relevant documents related to investment in MTT and MTSB did not have any effort
