Apollo Eyes $20 Billion J&J Orthopedics Unit
x/apollo-global-management
— Sep 11, 2026
Apollo Global Management is poised to acquire Johnson & Johnson's DePuy Synthes orthopedics unit for about $20 billion, a deal that would value the asset at roughly two times its sales as J&J considers a tax-free spin-off or other paths to sharpen focus on higher-growth healthcare areas. DePuy Synthes generated about $9.3 billion in 2025 revenue but trails faster-growing segments and carries thousands of hip-implant lawsuits that would influence buyer pricing.

Malaysia Court Denies Citizenship to Children Born Out-of-Wedlock
x/malaysia
— Jul 22, 2026
The Court of Appeal ruled that children born in Malaysia cannot inherit Malaysian citizenship from their unmarried Malaysian fathers when the birth occurred outside a legal marriage, meaning they must follow their non-Malaysian mothers’ nationalities and are not stateless. The decision, chaired by Datuk Azhahari Kamal Ramli, reiterates that citizenship follows the mother’s nationality in these cases, with J and D cited as examples illustrating the broader implications for statelessness and perceived gender discrimination.
