Deputy Chairman/
Group Managing Director's
message
Dear fellow Bousteadians,
Reaching the half way point in the financial year 2010 has been
both encouraging and eventful for the Group.
I am pleased to inform that the Boustead Group recorded a profit
after tax of RM104 million for the first quarter of its 2010 financial
year, a marked improvement from the RM68 million achieved in
the first quarter of last year. These results are testament to our
strength and diversity of our business model.
In June this year, the Group marked a significant milestone by
undertaking a proposed acquisition of Pharmaniaga Berhad,
a member of UEM Group Berhad. I am confident this exercise
will place us on a stronger footing to build our pharmaceutical
arm and further elevate our presence in the growing healthcare
industry.
I would also like to take this opportunity to congratulate
our subsidiary, UAC Berhad which was awarded the coveted
BrandLaureate for Best Brands in Product Branding
(Manufacturing of Cellulose Fibre Cement Boards). This accolade
by the prestigious Asia Pacific Brand Foundation is in recognition
of the brand’s strong position in Malaysia and the overseas
markets.
As we look at the year ahead, we are very optimistic with our
Divisions contributing to sustain their performance levels.
However, I urge all Boustedians to be more conscious to deliver
on their performance indicators in order to achieve Group wide
success. Teamwork and commitment should be the drive for all as
we aim to take the Group to greater heights.
Thank you.
Y.Bhg. Tan Sri Dato' Lodin Wok Kamaruddin

Pengarah Urusan
Kumpulan
Staf Boustead yang dihargai,
Perjalanan Kumpulan menuju titik pertengahan tahun
kewangan 2010 adalah sangat menggalakkan dan penuh
dengan pelbagai peristiwa.
Dengan sukacitanya, saya ingin memaklumkan bahawa
Kumpulan Boustead telah mencatatkan keuntungan
selepas cukai sebanyak RM104 juta pada suku pertama
tahun kewangan 2010, satu peningkatan ketara
berbanding RM68 juta yang dicapai pada suku pertama
tahun lepas. Keputusan-keputusan ini adalah bukti
kekukuhan serta kepelbagaian model perniagaan kita.
Pada bulan Jun tahun ini, Kumpulan telah mencatatkan
satu peristiwa penting di mana ia telah mengumumkan
tindakan untuk membeli kepentingan Pharmaniaga
Berhad, ahli Kumpulan UEM Berhad. Saya yakin
usaha ini dapat mengukuhkan kedudukan kita dalam
membangunkan bahagian farmaseutikal dan juga
meningkatkan penglibatan kita dalam industri penjagaan
kesihatan yang sedang berkembang ini.
Saya juga ingin mengambil kesempatan ini untuk
mengucapkan tahniah kepada anak syarikat kita, UAC
Berhad di atas penganugerahan BrandLaureate untuk
Jenama Terbaik dalam Penjenamaan Produk (Pembuatan
- Papan Simen Serat Selulosa). Penghormatan oleh badan
berprestij seperti Asia Pacific Brand Foundation ini adalah
sebagai tanda pengiktirafan kedudukan jenama ini yang
kukuh di pasaran Malaysia dan antarabangsa.
Kami sangat optimistik yang Bahagian-bahagian kita akan
terus menyumbang bagi mengekalkan tahap prestasi
mereka pada tahun berikutnya. Walau bagaimanapun,
saya menyeru agar semua staf Boustead lebih prihatin
apabila melaksanakan penunjuk prestasi masing-masing
agar kejayaan dapat dicapai oleh Kumpulan secara
keseluruhannya. Kerja berpasukan dan komitmen
hendaklah dijadikan dorongan untuk semua agar Kumpulan
dapat mencapai kejayaan yang lebih besar lagi.
Terima kasih.
