Matt Chin, Executive Director of Minetech, said, "The Company is on the right growth path as we continue to see our losses narrow on significantly higher revenue contributions from the civil engineering and bituminous products divisions. We are also seeing a recovery in the services division and the food and beverage division is starting to contribute too."
"Following our two-pronged strategic focus in 2020, the Company diversified into areas that can support financial performance while at the same time, transforming and rationalising the business. Our ventures now include financial technology and renewable energy, areas that have long-term growth and that can provide recurring income."
"The Company is cautiously optimistic for the coming quarters given that the Malaysian construction sector expanded 8.8% in 2022, with all subsectors registering growth according to data from the Statistics Department. Notably, there was 20.8% growth in the civil engineering subsector in 4Q while the non-residential buildings subsector expanded 19.0% and special trade activities subsector grew 12.7%."
