MARA's assets have been or are in the process of being transferred to MARA Corporation Sdn Bhd with hopes of higher performance and even dividends to the government.

Apart from the focus on what is believed to be the virtuous cycle of educational social enterprises, MARA Corp doesn't believe Lynas is dirty business.
