Matt Chin, Executive Director of Minetech (Link)Matt Chin, Executive Director of Minetech, said, "The civil engineering and bituminous products businesses continue to be the significant contributors to revenue. For the civil engineering business, the much higher contribution to revenue of RM14.9 million from the Selinsing gold mine compared with RM8.9 million a year ago was due to an increase in work volume. The increase in sales of coating enamel resulted in higher revenue for the bituminous products business while the operating loss was due to one-off repair and maintenance cost."

"The services business has seen an improvement with a much-reduced operating loss despite the decrease in revenue. The lower revenue was mainly due to lower supply of manpower, storage tank maintenance services and lower number of remittance transactions."

"The Company remains focused on growing the new businesses that we have diversified into over the past three years, which includes financial technology and renewable energy (RE) that can help sustain earnings and growth over the longer-term. For the RE venture, we won a contract valued at RM36.7 million in January this year from Tesdec Hydropower Sdn Bhd for the development of a 3MW mini hydropower plant in Besut, Terengganu. We are cautiously optimistic for the Company's outlook given the better-than-expected economic growth of 5.6% in 1Q that was underpinned by broad-based growth across all sectors of the economy."
