PETALING JAYA: Borders Malaysia's operations will not be affected by US-based Borders Group Inc's filing for bankruptcy. Berjaya Books Sdn Bhd, which operates the Borders chain in Malaysia, said in a statement that Borders Malaysia was an independent entity. "Borders Group Inc does not have any shareholdings in Borders Malaysia. Borders Malaysia is owned and operated by Berjaya Books, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Berjaya Corp Bhd," it said.
