Asker: but "kepentingan kewangan yang penting" is repetitive & doesn't fit smoothly into the sentence.

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Noorsalhanim Che Jamel: legally speaking, significant here indicates major percentage of the financial interest e.g. major shareholder which holds significant financial interest in a company

agree  LM Loh: I wish there was another way of saying it in Malay (don't quite like the "besar" for significant) but I'm afraid this is what is commonly used.

Asker: Honestly this was what I had thought of but..... don't you think it sounds a bit stilted? If you have actually seen it used somewhere, I would be more inclined...
