KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 10 (Bernama) -- TNB Western Energy Bhd (TNB WE), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Tenaga Nasional Bhd (TNB) via TNB Manjung Five Sdn Bhd, has filed a judicial review at the High Court of Malaysia to challenge a RM291.55 million tax assessment for the 2018 assessment year.

In a filing with Bursa Malaysia today, TNB said the notice of assessment from the Inland Revenue Board of Malaysia was dated Dec 10, 2024.
