I just spotted this post on the Bloombergs website...

TYCOON TAN SET TO WEIGH TAKING MALAYSIA STARBUCKS OWNER PRIVATE

Malaysian tycoon Vincent Tan is considering taking Kuala Lumpur-listed Berjaya Food Bhd. private, according to people with knowledge of the matter.
Tan is in talks with banks about financing for a potential buyout deal for Berjaya Food, which owns 100% of Starbucks Corp.’s Malaysian operations, said the people, asking not to be named as the matter is private. Berjaya Food’s stock, which had lost more than a quarter of its value in the past year, jumped as much as 6.5% after the Bloomberg News report, the biggest intraday gain since September.
Berjaya Corp., a company founded by Tan in 1984 and involved in the real estate, hotels and consumer sectors, has a deemed interest of 55% in Berjaya Food, according to its latest available annual report.
Founded in 2009, Berjaya Food also runs brands including Kenny Rogers Roasters chain of restaurants in Malaysia as well Jollibean, a fresh soy milk operator. As of June 30, 2023, Starbucks Malaysia had 393 stores nationwide while Kenny Rogers Roasters had 80 stores.
Deliberations are preliminary and Tan could still decide against pursuing a go-private deal for Berjaya Food, the people said. Tan declined to comment, while representatives for Berjaya Food and Berjaya Corp. didn’t respond to requests seeking comment.

He's not showing any signs of slowing down, is he?
I'm sure someone with a bit more knowledge than me will be along shortly, to explain exactly what that all means. But in a nutshell, it appears that Tan's main company, Berjaya Corp, is looking to borrow money in order to buy the 45% part of Berjaya Food that it doesn't already own. That will give it 100% of the firm, which in turn owns 100% of the Starbucks chain in Malaysia, plus Kenny Rogers Roasters and Jollibean, whatever that is.
What does all that mean for CCFC? No idea, but it might explain why he's taken his eye off the ball somewhat, when it comes to recent footballing matters.
