Shukor, who is also QSB executive director, said the investment made into WQM could strategically align QSB as the holding group with the rapid digital globalisation.

He said it was also to meet the ongoing changes of market demand in the entertainment industry where technological advancement and innovation are key drivers to success.

"Qhazanah's direction to participate in any prospect of investment in relation to innovation has led us into our interest in VR Universal.

"Through our subsidiary, WQM, we are hopeful to venture more into investment that harnesses technological advancement to drive innovation across various industries."

The concept of VR Universal stemmed from the objective of wanting to provide users with real life experience in theme parks and E-sports using tools and scenes generated by the computer program.
