KUALA LUMPUR: Consumer lifestyle products marketer and distributor Oasis Home Holding Bhd expects to raise RM28 million from its initial public offering (IPO) on the ACE Market of Bursa Malaysia.
Out of the RM28 million, RM13.7 million (48.93%) is for the expansion of its live commerce sales channels, RM3.6 million (12.86%) for setting up its fulfilment centre and RM4.3 million (15.36%)for working capital.
Additionally, the company will use RM2 million (7.14%) to establish a new headquarters and allocate the remaining RM4.4 million (15.71%) for listing expenses.
The group leverages a mix of online and offline platforms to drive sales and consumer engagement. Its primary digital sales channels include live commerce platforms, its proprietary mobile application, and its website – Oasis Home – which together serve as the group's core e-commerce hubs.
Additionally, Oasis Home extends its digital footprint through e-commerce marketplaces such as Lazada, Shopee, and TikTok Shop.
As part of its digital marketing initiatives, the group employs targeted advertising across social media platforms to boost visibility and connect with a broader audience.
To complement its online presence, the group also integrates an online-to-offline strategy by offering in-person experiences through its product experience centres located in Bukit Jalil, Kuala Lumpur, and Johor Bahru, Johor.
At the launch of the prospectus today, CEO Datuk Teoh Yee Seang said it signals a new chapter of growth for Oasis Home. 'The proceeds from our IPO will play a key role in accelerating our expansion plans, particularly in strengthening our live commerce presence.'
Teoh said it plans to introduce five new live commerce channels across Facebook and TikTok to connect with more customers through real-time experiences. 'In parallel, we will be setting up our fulfillment center to support this growth. This will reduce costs and enhance profit margins as our live commerce footprint expands.'
Looking ahead, Teoh said the live commerce space continues to gain momentum, especially in Southeast Asia, where the market is projected to see strong growth over the next two years.
'Malaysian consumers are among the top three globally in terms of livestream viewership and purchasing activity, with more than half of viewers making purchases during sessions. Our strategic focus on live commerce is aligned with these evolving consumer behaviours, and we are confident in our ability to seize the opportunities ahead and further grow our market presence.'
Teoh said Oasis Home targets to pay at least 30% of its consolidated profit after tax as a dividend, subject to the group's financial position and other financing requirements.
The group's IPO involves the public issuance of 100 million new ordinary shares, representing 20% of the group's enlarged number of issued shares, as well as an offer for sale of 50 million existing shares, or 10% of the enlarged issued share capital.
Of the public issue of 100 million shares, 25 million will be made available to the Malaysian public via balloting and 10 million issue shares to its directors and employees who are eligible to participate in the IPO.
The remaining 62.5 million issue shares and 2.5 million issue shares will be made by way of private placement to Bumiputera investors approved by the Ministry of Investment, Trade and Industry and to selected investors, respectively.
Select investors will have access to 50 million offer shares through a private placement.
Based on the IPO price of 28 sen per share and its enlarged share capital of 500 million shares, Oasis Home will have a market capitalisation of RM140 million upon listing.
For the financial year ended June 30, 2024, Oasis Home's revenue grew to RM54.82 million from RM40.88 million recorded in the financial year ended June 30, 2022, reflecting a two-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.8%.
Notably, the live commerce segment contributed 75.65% of total revenue for FY24.
Over the same period, net profit saw a CAGR of 22.93%, rising from RM5.34 million to RM8.07 million in FY24.

IOI to benefit from fresh fruit bunch output recovery
HLIB Research said IOI's FFB output has shown month-on-month and year-on-year recovery since March. PETALING JAYA: IOI Corp Bhd expects its continuing fresh fruit bunch (FFB) output recovery will help it beat its own growth guidance of 1% to 2% in the financial year 2025 (FY25). Given the anticipated strong FFB output in the fourth quarter (4Q25), IOI is confident of keeping its crude palm oil (CPO) production cost at RM2,100 per tonne for the full year, said Hong Leong Investment Bank (HLIB) Research. HLIB Research maintained its own FY25 FFB output growth assumption of 2.5%. It said IOI's FFB output has shown month-on-month and year-on-year (y-o-y) recovery since March with weather conditions improving. The output recovery has helped to narrow the group's year-to-date FFB output decline to just 0.3%, for the first 10 months of FY25. Lower FFB output, minimum wage hike effective February and higher windfall profit levy had lifted IOI's 3Q25 CPO production cost by 1.3% y-o-y to RM2,530 per tonne, bringing its nine-month FY25 CPO production cost to RM2,104 per tonne. It said the accelerated replanting programme of 8,000ha to 9,000ha per annum, embarked since FY19, would continue into FY26. This will bring down its average age profile to about 13 years by end-FY26.

Sime Darby Property ups minimum wage for B40 workers by 80pct to RM2,700
PETALING JAYA: Sime Darby Property Bhd has raised the minimum living wage for employees in the B40 income group by 80 per cent, from RM1,500 to RM2,700 a month, as part of its commitment to employee well-being and inclusive growth. Its chairman Datuk Rizal Rickman Ramli said the adjustment takes into account the increased cost of living and aims to provide better financial support for lower-income employees. "This initiative highlights our commitment to financial stability and the well-being of our workforce, particularly those most impacted by rising living costs," he said in the group's integrated annual report 2024. The wage hike is part of Sime Darby Property's wider workforce development efforts under its SHIFT25 transformation plan. In 2024, the company recorded a 43 per cent increase in employee training hours and introduced new programmes in areas such as artificial intelligence, sustainable development and urban biodiversity. Rizal said these measures come as the group looks to upskill its workforce in line with evolving industry demands and growing environmental, social and governance expectations. Sime Darby Property's new minimum wage of RM2,700 exceeds the national statutory floor by RM1,000. Under the government's revised minimum wage policy, the monthly wage floor was raised to RM1,700 beginning February this year for employers with five or more workers. Companies with fewer than five employees have until August to comply. Non-compliance is an offence under the National Wages Consultative Council Act 2011 (Act 732) and may result in penalties. The new national rate, announced in Budget 2025, is expected to benefit over 4.3 million workers across the country.

HK star Lana Wong, 94, lives on RM2K monthly allowance as savings dip below RM5K
Hong Kong actress Lana Wong now lives in a small 160sq ft (14.8sq m) temporary housing unit. Photo: China Press Veteran Hong Kong actress Lana Wong once lived a life of luxury during her past relationship with the late lawyer Woo Pak-chuen when she was 18. Although they never married, she had six children with him and was said to be lavishly cared for, receiving a monthly allowance of HK$300,000 (RM162,467). The pair later broke up after a tumultous journey filled with trials and tribulations. Wong, 94, then went on to marry former racer Albert Poon in 1983. In a recent interview with Hong Kong's East Week magazine, Wong revealed that she's struggling financially, with her savings dwindling to less than HK$10,000 (RM5,415). 'Some unscrupulous people took advantage and tricked me into giving up the deed to my Sai Kung home. 'I lost all my belongings and ended up homeless... Luckily, a friend took me in, but I've just been living under someone else's roof for years,' she said. The actress added that she has since applied for legal aid and now survives solely on a monthly old age allowance of HK$4,195 (RM2,271). According to reports, Wong had previously announced plans to relocate to the United States with her husband in 2022. However, she decided to return to Hong Kong two years later and currently lives in a small 160sq ft (14.8sq m) temporary housing unit. 'At least I have a roof over my head and no longer need to live in someone else's home. That's comforting enough for someone my age… All I need is a bed and Wi-Fi for calls,' she said.
