is it shariah compliant?
anyone here.. is it Syariah cmplt?
Most of IPO did not get Shariah Compliance status during listing even their business & way of doing business complied. They will get it at much later time.
Some of them do get. Try to look in the prospectus, they will write it if they already get the Shariah status.
newbie question;
0.15 sen, will it price up when it be listed?
