The directors recommend the payment of a single-tier final dividend 7.5 sen per share on 240,953,230 ordinary shares,
amounting to a total of RM18,072,000, which subject to the shareholders’ approval at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting
will be paid on a date to be determined. The financial statements for the current financial year do not reflect this proposed
dividend. Such dividend, if approved by the shareholders, will be accounted for in shareholders’ equity as an appropriation of
retained earnings in the next financial year ending 31 March 2019.
