Why do Google Finance and Bloomberg report a different number for shares outstanding?

I would like to understand the discrepancy. Are they reporting a different thing, or is one of them wrong?

Company: Chin Hin Bhd (Malaysia)

  • Bloomberg calls it "shares outstanding" at 505.888mil

  • Google calls it "shares" at 474.289mil

  • Company's last quarter report uses the number 474.289mil (referring to it as weighted avg number of shares)

  • Company's website stock ticker uses 505.888mil ("no of shares issued")

http://ift.tt/2lH99y1

  • i3investor reports it as 505.888mil ("NOSH")

So there are two numbers being used. Which is correct? Why the discrepancy?
