  • Eckem Holdings Prices IPO At 12 Sen For ACE Debut

    Eckem Holdings Prices IPO At 12 Sen For ACE Debut

    Eckem Holdings Berhad has priced its retail offering at an accessible RM0.12 per share, laying a highly attractive entry point for investors as the group charges toward its upcoming Initial Public Offering (IPO) on the ACE Market of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad.

    The competitive pricing forms the backbone of the group’s strategic public issue of 125.00 million new ordinary shares, representing exactly 20.00% of its enlarged issued share capital. Alongside an offer for sale of 62.50 million existing shares, the 12 sen valuation positions Eckem Holdings to lock in RM15.00 million in gross proceeds to aggressively self-fund its massive infrastructure and product diversification goals.

    Out of the capital raised, a substantial RM6.00 million will immediately flow into constructing a comprehensive new corporate office, warehouse, and advanced laboratory to scale up local operations. Another RM2.00 million is assigned to deploy an entirely new production line for its highly lucrative rubber products division, effectively doubling down on the manufacturing and trading of its downstream portfolio. The remaining capital allocations feature a lean balance sheet cleanup, routing RM1.45 million to clear out bank borrowings, RM1.75 million for day-to-day working capital, and RM3.80 million to cover standard corporate listing expenses.

    Mr. Tan Khai Jeik (Jack Tan), Executive Director of Eckem Holdings Berhad, pointed out that the 12 sen issue price reflects a balanced valuation meant to unlock shareholder value while giving the company the ammunition it needs to scale up. He noted that the capital injection will significantly expand their capacity to formulate customised solutions and deliver high-tier technical expertise directly to Malaysia’s growing base of manufacturing giants.

    Backing the move, Datuk Bill Tan, Managing Director of M & A Securities Sdn Bhd, stated that Eckem Holdings’ defensive business model and deep customer retention within the industrial chemical segment make it an incredibly resilient play. He emphasized that the group is strongly positioned to secure sustainable long-term revenue growth against the backdrop of Malaysia’s thriving manufacturing and industrial expansion.

    Eckem Holdings currently fuels a broad, multi-industry network of downstream manufacturers, compounders, and regional resellers. While it commands an established trade presence in major international markets including China, Singapore, the United Kingdom, and the United States, its primary economic driver is overwhelmingly domestic—accounting for roughly 94% of total group revenue for the 2025 financial year.

  • Mall Komuniti Baharu Ampang: Setia Awan Jalin Kerjasama Strategik Bersama Gergasi Runcit & F&B

    Mall Komuniti Baharu Ampang: Setia Awan Jalin Kerjasama Strategik Bersama Gergasi Runcit & F&B

    Landskap runcit di Ampang bakal berwajah baharu dengan pengumuman pelancaran Avenue F, pusat membeli-belah komuniti pertama di Bukit Ampang Permai. Langkah signifikan ini direalisasikan menerusi jalinan kerjasama strategik antara pemaju hartanah terkemuka, Setia Awan, bersama barisan gergasi runcit serta jenama makanan dan minuman (F&B) terkemuka tanah air.

    Melalui Memorandum Persefahaman (MoU) yang dimeterai secara rasmi di Galeri Jualan Fona Vista, Setia Awan berjaya menghimpunkan tujuh jenama besar yang merangkumi pelbagai sektor penting. Antara nama besar yang bakal mengisi ruang komersial Avenue F termasuklah B Grocer, Haji Basheer, CU Malaysia, Little Salty Café, Malaysia Chicken Rice (MCR), dan Alpro Pharmacy. Kehadiran pemenang industri ini bakal memastikan bakal penduduk sekitar, terutamanya bagi projek kediaman Fona Vista, mendapat akses terus kepada perkhidmatan premium dan keperluan harian di ambang pintu mereka.

    Ketua Pegawai Operasi (Projek) Setia Awan, Eric Chew menyatakan bahawa pelaburan strategik ini melangkaui sempadan perniagaan biasa. Komitmen ini adalah usaha nyata syarikat dalam menunaikan janji untuk memberikan nilai jangka masa panjang serta gaya hidup yang lancar dan sofistikated buat pemilik hartanah. Beliau turut membayangkan fasa transformasi seterusnya dengan mengalu-alukan lebih banyak jenama terkemuka untuk menyertai Avenue F dalam mentakrifkan semula konsep keselesaan hidup di pinggir bandar.

    Pusat membeli-belah komuniti Avenue F ini disasarkan siap sepenuhnya menjelang Suku Ketiga (Q3) 2027 dan bakal berfungsi sebagai hab sosial yang dinamik. Kehadirannya amat bertepatan bagi melengkapkan ekosistem eksklusif Fona Vista—sebuah kondominium lereng bukit berkepadatan rendah bergaya pusat peranginan yang terletak 145 meter di atas paras laut, bersebelahan Hutan Simpan Hulu Langat.

    Agresif dalam memacu pelan pertumbuhan korporatnya, Setia Awan sebelum ini telah membuktikan momentum yang sama menerusi kerjasama dengan Kumpulan Billion bagi dua projek di Melaka. Model kejayaan rangkaian runcit ini dijadualkan bakal diperluaskan ke beberapa portfolio pembangunan masa hadapan syarikat di seluruh Lembah Klang, termasuk di Selayang, Shah Alam, serta Tanjung Malim.

    Tech Giant TP-Link Launches First Flagship Smart Home Hub in Malaysia

    Global networking powerhouse TP-Link has officially entered a new era of retail expansion in Malaysia, opening its very first flagship smart home hub on Friday, May 22, 2026. Situated on the Second Floor (S-090) of the highly frequented Mid Valley Megamall, this premier location is designed to bridge the gap between advanced technology and daily life, serving both tech-conscious household consumers and the bustling commercial communities in the surrounding office towers.

    The grand opening directly addresses a massive surge in local demand for seamless, fully integrated home automation and intelligent monitoring. Hugo Cai, Regional Director of TP-Link Malaysia, emphasized that the sophisticated and rapidly growing digital appetite of Malaysian consumers and local businesses made Mid Valley the definitive choice for this major debut. Rather than acting as a standard storefront, the space functions as a live learning center where visitors can experience practical, immersive scenarios of how a truly automated household operates.

    Central to the new hub is TP-Link’s extensive Tapo smart home ecosystem, which gives users unified control over their living environments. Visitors can get hands-on with next-generation automated hardware, including the advanced Tapo Robot Vacuum RV50 Pro Omni and intelligent dual-lens AI monitoring cameras engineered for high-security home automation. Supporting these smart devices is TP-Link’s industry-leading Wi-Fi 7 hardware, built to handle massive device loads with ultra-low latency, alongside preview highlights of upcoming Wi-Fi 8 tech designed for even greater environmental efficiency. Corporate guests can also explore enterprise-tier network systems like Omada and VIGI for office security.

    To mark the grand launch, TP-Link is offering massive opening-week specials, featuring direct discounts of up to 88% on high-demand smart products and its flagship Deco Home Mesh Wi-Fi 7 Series. To sweeten the deal, anyone spending RM200 or more on opening day walks away with a chance to win a share of RM3,888 in luxury lucky draw prizes. The flagship hub welcomed its first public visitors at 10:00 AM, and real-time stock updates and promotional announcements are currently live on the official TP-Link Malaysia website and Facebook page.

  • PEKABS Perkasa Keselamatan Penduduk Bersama PDRM & KRT Presint 14H

    PEKABS Perkasa Keselamatan Penduduk Bersama PDRM & KRT Presint 14H

    Isu keselamatan dan ketenteraman awam di peringkat akar umbi terus menjadi agenda utama Pertubuhan Kebajikan Anak-Anak Anggota Badan Beruniform Negeri Selangor (PEKABS) menerusi penganjuran Program Ramah Mesra ‘Jom Ronda’ PDRM dan Jalinan Kasih yang melabuhkan tirai secara jayanya pada 23 Mei 2026. Inisiatif bertemakan pencegahan jenayah komuniti ini dijayakan dengan kerjasama strategik Kawasan Rukun Tetangga (KRT) Presint 14H Putrajaya serta Pasukan Polis DiRaja Malaysia (PDRM) bagi memastikan persekitaran kawasan perumahan kekal selamat dan kondusif.

    Sebagai sebuah pertubuhan kebajikan yang sentiasa dinamik dalam menyantuni masyarakat tanpa mengira latar belakang kaum, agama, dan fahaman politik, PEKABS kini memperluaskan impak khidmatnya di Putrajaya. Melalui platform Komuniti MADANI Putrajaya, pertubuhan ini mengambil pendekatan proaktif untuk menjembatani hubungan antara rakyat, agensi keselamatan negara, dan kepimpinan komuniti setempat demi membina sebuah benteng sosial yang kukuh menentang sebarang ancaman keselamatan.

    Langkah memperkasakan keselamatan penduduk ini bergerak seiring dengan pelantikan rasmi Pengerusi PEKABS, Mohd Hafiz Osman, sebagai Ketua Komuniti MADANI Zon 4 Putrajaya pada 16 Mei 2026. Watikah pelantikan bagi zon yang merangkumi Presint 12, Presint 14, dan Presint 15 itu telah diserahkan oleh YB Menteri Komunikasi, sekali gus memberi mandat rasmi kepada PEKABS untuk memimpin agenda pembangunan dan keselamatan komuniti secara lebih berstruktur.

    Amanah besar ini akan diterjemahkan oleh PEKABS menerusi perancangan siri aktiviti keselamatan bertumpu dan program kesukarelawanan jangka panjang. Komuniti MADANI Zon 4 Putrajaya di bawah teraju PEKABS bakal mengoptimumkan kerjasama dengan pelbagai entiti tempatan termasuk Persatuan Penduduk Presint 14, KRT Presint 14, dan Surau Al-Istiqlal Presint 14 untuk memastikan setiap pelan tindakan pencegahan jenayah dapat dilaksanakan secara menyeluruh.

    Bagi memastikan kelancaran rondaan keselamatan dan program kebajikan masa hadapan, PEKABS secara rasmi menyeru orang ramai untuk tampil mendaftarkan diri sebagai ahli atau sukarelawan pertubuhan. Penglibatan aktif segenap lapisan masyarakat amat dituntut kerana keutamaan menjaga keselamatan dan kesejahteraan kejiranan adalah tanggungjawab bersama demi melahirkan komuniti yang prihatin, harmoni, dan sentiasa bersatu padu.

  • Hektar REIT Labur RM125 Juta Ambil Alih KYS KL East Sasar Lonjak Pendapatan

    Hektar REIT Labur RM125 Juta Ambil Alih KYS KL East Sasar Lonjak Pendapatan

    Hektar Real Estate Investment Trust (Hektar REIT) melabur sebanyak RM125 juta bagi cadangan pengambilalihan dan pajakan Sekolah Antarabangsa KYS KL East (KYSKLEIS). Langkah strategik yang diumumkan oleh pengurusnya, Hektar Asset Management Sdn Bhd hari ini, bertujuan untuk melonjakkan unjuran pendapatan syarikat melalui pendedahan yang lebih besar dalam segmen aset pendidikan swasta K-12.

    Transaksi tersebut melibatkan pemerolehan kepentingan pajakan pada tanah dan bangunan sekolah berkenaan yang terletak di dalam perbandaran berintegrasi KL East, Setapak, iaitu sebahagian daripada Pelan Induk KL East oleh Sime Darby Property.

    Melalui pelaburan ini, Hektar REIT akan melaksanakan pengaturan pajakan balik jangka panjang bersama pengendali sekolah sedia ada untuk memastikan kelangsungan operasi institusi berkenaan. Perjanjian komersial ini distrukturkan secara ‘tiga kali ganda bersih’ (triple net lease), yang menetapkan penyewa bertanggungjawab sepenuhnya ke atas semua perbelanjaan hartanah termasuk cukai tanah, taksiran, penyelenggaraan, utiliti, dan insurans.

    Bagi memastikan sasaran lonjakan pendapatan tercapai, struktur ini turut menggabungkan kenaikan kadar sewa kontrak sebanyak 10% bagi setiap tiga tahun, sekali gus dijangka menjana purata hasil bersih sekitar 8.87% sepanjang tempoh 30 tahun.

    Sebagai sebahagian daripada pelan pertumbuhan jangka panjang aset ini, fasa peluasan juga sedang dirancang. Pihak penjual akan menanggung sepenuhnya kos pembangunan Fasa 3 untuk membina blok sekolah menengah baharu, yang dijangka siap dalam tempoh 24 bulan dari tarikh perjanjian tanpa syarat. Setelah siap sepenuhnya, kampus dengan keluasan lantai kasar kira-kira 241,055 kaki persegi ini bakal meningkatkan kapasiti operasi untuk menampung sehingga 1,300 pelajar, berbanding hanya bangunan prasekolah dan sekolah rendah pada masa ini.

    Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif Hektar Asset Management, Zainal Iskandar

    Pengarah Eksekutif dan Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif Hektar Asset Management, Zainal Iskandar menekankan bahawa pelaburan RM125 juta ini adalah pemacu utama dalam memperkukuhkan keterlihatan pendapatan dan daya tahan portfolio Hektar REIT. Menurut beliau, aliran pendapatan yang stabil dan boleh diramal daripada sektor pendidikan ini akan melengkapi portfolio sedia ada syarikat. Langkah ini sekali gus menyokong objektif utama Hektar REIT untuk memberikan pulangan dan hasil dividen yang lebih mampan serta melonjakkan nilai pelaburan para pemegang unit dalam jangka masa panjang.

    Walau bagaimanapun, memandangkan urus niaga ini diklasifikasikan sebagai transaksi pihak berkaitan (related party transaction), sebuah penasihat bebas telah dilantik untuk menasihati pemegang unit yang tidak berkepentingan. Pelaksanaan penuh pelaburan ini masih tertakluk kepada kelulusan daripada pemegang unit Hektar REIT, pihak berkuasa kawal selia, dan kelulusan penyenaraian unit baharu yang diterbitkan untuk mengoptimumkan struktur modal syarikat. Sekiranya berjalan lancar, transaksi ini dijangka siap sepenuhnya pada separuh pertama tahun 2027.

  • Gold Li Holdings Hits Bursa Malaysia Listing Milestone

    Gold Li Holdings Hits Bursa Malaysia Listing Milestone

    Shifting from a privately managed regional builder into a publicly traded corporation, Gold Li Holdings Berhad (“Gold Li” or the “Group”) successfully executed its equity debut on the ACE Market of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad (“Bursa Securities”) today. Trading under the ticker symbol “GOLDLI”, the stock recorded an opening price of RM0.12 per share. This public float acts as the core fundraising mechanism for the Group’s next structural growth phase, yielding approximately RM15.21 million in gross proceeds via the issuance of 117.0 million newly minted ordinary shares.

    The capital injection is strategically structured to fund immediate operational scaling. Gold Li has designated a substantial RM11.21 million chunk of the newly secured IPO capital to serve directly as corporate working capital. This allocation is explicitly tied to building, engineering, and infrastructure expenditures required to advance the Group’s current project portfolio, while the remaining balance of RM4.00 million is assigned to clear accumulated statutory and listing-related expenses.

    From Left to Right (L-R): Mr. Ngiam Mia Teck, Mr. Lim Seok Kim, Pn. Fatimah Zahrah Binti Baharim, Mr. Kee Tong Kiak, Dato’ Lee Tiau Huat, Datin Lau Siew Su, Dr. Kong Yee Foon, Mr. Lee Teoh Keng, Datuk Bill Tan, and Mr. Gary Ting.

    Operationally, Gold Li’s long-term corporate viability rests on an integrated, self-sustaining building model. Established originally in 1999 with deep-rooted infrastructure holds across the Muar, Tangkak, and Batu Pahat sub-markets of Johor, the developer separates itself from competitors by operating a wholly-owned, in-house building construction division. This structural integration allows the Group to act as its own lead turnkey contractor, granting management absolute, uncompromised control over raw material procurement, localized labor costs, quality management parameters, and exact structural handover dates.

    This operational model has enabled the successful delivery of 110 real estate developments to date. Looking at forward asset allocations, the Group’s localized pipeline remains heavily backed by 13 active site developments, 28 approved upcoming projects, and a highly secure landbank comprising 29 distinct parcels designated for future layout designs. This geographic positioning aligns closely with recent data from independent market research firm Smith Zander, which clocked total residential asset transaction volumes in Muar, Tangkak, and Batu Pahat at more than RM1.96 billion over the course of 2025.

    Leveraging this regional real estate momentum, Gold Li is preparing for a major structural pivot away from its historical reliance on low-to-medium density landed projects. The Group is finalized to venture into high-density architecture through its maiden high-rise residential complex located within Muar, scheduled to break ground during the first half of 2027 with a projected Gross Development Value (“GDV”) of roughly RM322.7 million. Fueled by an aggregate pipeline GDV calculated at RM854.9 million across its active landbook, the transition marks a clear trajectory toward expanded corporate margins and institutional asset diversification.

    Dato’ Lee Tiau Huat, Managing Director of Gold Li Holdings Berhad, noted that today’s public milestone represents the culmination of a 27-year evolution from a localized property player to a listed enterprise. He emphasized that the freshly established equity funding vehicle provides the balance-sheet strength necessary to systematically unlock their 47.3-acre land reserve and fund the 2027 high-rise expansion, ensuring sustainable, institutional-grade execution that will continue to drive fundamental value for its broader public shareholder base. Serving as the primary financial architect for the listing, M&A Securities Sdn. Bhd. fulfilled all roles as the Principal Adviser, Sponsor, Underwriter, and Placement Agent for the transaction.

  • EVs Meet Heritage: BYD Mansion Macalister Blends Premium Tech with Malaysian Culture

    EVs Meet Heritage: BYD Mansion Macalister Blends Premium Tech with Malaysian Culture

    BYD Malaysia and Sime Motors have taken a unique approach to expanding the country’s electric vehicle landscape with the official grand opening of BYD Mansion Macalister in George Town, Penang. Located within a beautifully restored historical landmark, this new northern flagship showroom completely redefines the traditional automotive retail space by blending local cultural heritage with premium EV innovation.

    The landmark event was officially officiated by the Chief Minister of Penang, YAB Tuan Chow Kon Yeow, alongside YB H’ng Mooi Lye, Penang State Executive Councillor for Local Government and Town & Country Planning. The opening also served as a major celebration for the region’s green transition, marking the official handover to the 5,000th BYD owner in northern Malaysia.

    Stepping inside the heritage property, visitors are met with an environment that respects the past while embracing the future. Moving away from the sterile environment of typical car dealerships, the flagship features custom consultation lounges, integrated digital touchpoints, and personalized customer spaces designed to welcome guests into the world of electric mobility. Beyond aesthetics, the location serves as a fully integrated ecosystem, combining premium vehicle consultation, advanced maintenance care, and a dedicated charging hub all under one roof to bring ultimate convenience to northern EV owners.

    This culturally immersive flagship represents the broader global vision shared by both automotive giants. Liu Xueliang, Vice President of BYD Co., Ltd and General Manager of BYD Asia Pacific Auto Sales Division, noted that the company’s investment in Malaysia is deeply tied to making sustainable mobility accessible through continuous technological innovation and localized research. He highlighted that upskilling local talent in EV technologies remains a long-term promise to the nation, calling BYD Mansion Macalister the premier embodiment of this vision by seamlessly mixing world-class innovation with a deep respect for local roots.

    Sime Motors is matching this technological push with a fierce commitment to long-term ownership confidence. Jeffrey Gan, Managing Director of Southeast Asia for Sime Motors, emphasized that they are building a reliable local network designed to give every BYD owner seamless, reassuring support for the lifetime of their vehicle. Backed by a team of elite, certified Malaysian technicians and an extensive network that now includes over 43 showrooms and 25 aftersales centres nationwide, the group is rapidly elevating the standards of regional automotive care. To celebrate the launch and prove the long-distance capability of the fleet, BYD Sime Motors hosted a 360-kilometre media road trip from Ara Damansara to Penang, showcasing the highway comfort and range reliability that more than 5,000 northern drivers have already chosen.

    As electric vehicle adoption accelerates across the country, BYD Sime Motors continues to prioritize immediate service readiness alongside its premium retail experiences. By maintaining a highly efficient 95% aftersales parts fill rate, the brand ensures faster support and minimal turnaround times for maintenance. Through continuous training programs for its frontline teams and unique lifestyle hubs like the Macalister mansion, the partnership is successfully proving that the future of modern transportation can perfectly coexist with local history and culture.

  • Selangor’s Tourism Gets a Digital Boost: Bateriku Appointed Official Roadside Assistance Partner

    Selangor’s Tourism Gets a Digital Boost: Bateriku Appointed Official Roadside Assistance Partner

    The tourism sector in Selangor is entering a new era of digital transformation following the appointment of Bateriku (M) Sdn Bhd as the Official Roadside Assistance Partner for Tourism Selangor. This strategic move, formalised through a Memorandum of Collaboration (MoC) signed on 14 May 2026, aims to leverage Bateriku’s tech-driven mobility solutions to enhance the travel experience across the state. By integrating on-demand roadside support into the state’s tourism framework, the partnership ensures that visitors can explore Selangor’s vast landscape with the confidence that professional help is digitally accessible at any time. This collaboration marks a significant step in making Selangor a smarter and more connected destination for modern travellers who rely on seamless digital integration.

    Central to this “digital boost” is the onboarding of Tourism Selangor and its affiliated entities as Bateriku Digital Partners. This integration allows for a more streamlined referral ecosystem, where emergency support services are made easily accessible to tourists through various digital touchpoints. Beyond just providing battery replacements or jumpstarts, Bateriku will offer its full suite of roadside assistance services to both domestic and international visitors.

    L-R Luqman Hakem (Assistant Manager, Tourism Selangor), Chua Yee Ling (CEO, Tourism Selangor), Azarol Faizi (CEO, Bateriku), Muhsin Sabri (Head of Business Development, Bateriku)

    This tech-centric approach not only simplifies the process of seeking help during a vehicle breakdown but also strengthens the overall safety net for self-drive tourists exploring the state’s hidden gems, from the urban hubs of Petaling Jaya to the scenic routes of Kuala Kubu Bharu.

    The partnership also extends into the physical realm of tourism activations, where Bateriku will provide official support coverage for major state-led programmes and tourism events. To ensure maximum visibility, Bateriku’s nationwide mobile service fleet will feature “Visit Selangor” branding, acting as moving billboards that promote the state as a safe and accessible destination.

    L-R Luqman Hakem (Assistant Manager, Tourism Selangor), Chua Yee Ling (CEO, Tourism Selangor)

    Furthermore, the collaboration explores the establishment of designated Bateriku “Safe Zones” at popular tourism hubs. These zones will serve as dedicated points of contact for mobility support, allowing hotels and hospitality partners to offer roadside assistance as a premium, value-added amenity for their guests.

    In a move towards data-driven governance, the collaboration will also involve the sharing of anonymised data regarding breakdown hotspots. By identifying high-risk travel zones through Bateriku’s extensive service data, Tourism Selangor can work towards improving road safety infrastructure and signage in areas with high tourist traffic. This proactive approach to road safety, combined with the convenience of on-demand digital support, reinforces Selangor’s commitment to fostering a resilient and innovative tourism industry. Through this public-private partnership, Selangor is successfully setting a new benchmark for how technology can be used to protect and enhance the visitor experience.
