Dividends
It is indeed our pleasure to report that in spite of the global financial crisis and credit crunch, we have been able to maintain our policy of rewarding our shareholders with steady dividend payments whenever our cash-flow situation allowed us to do so. Even during the lean year in 2009, we still managed to pay out total dividends of RM 9.8 million comprising of : 
  • An interim dividend of 4% less tax per share for the financial year ended 31 December 2009 totalling RM3.9 million paid on 8 June 2009;
  • A second interim dividend of 5% less tax per share and a special dividend of 1% less tax per share for the financial year ended 31 December 2009 totalling RM 5.9 million paid on 8 October 2009.
A final dividend of 4% less tax per share for the financial year ended 31 December 2009 totalling RM 4.0 million will be proposed for shareholders' approval in the upcoming Annual General Meeting. This will bring the total dividends for the year ended 31 December 2009 to RM 13.8 million.
