Winding-up petition against Mah Sing withdrawn
KUALA LUMPUR: Mah Sing Group Bhd said a winding-up petition against the company has been withdrawn by the petitioner without liberty to file afresh. In a filing with Bursa Malaysia, the property developer said the petition was related to a judgment dated Sept 13, 2024, obtained by One2Print Sdn Bhd in the Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court over a trespass case. Under the judgment, Mah Sing was ordered to pay RM61,770 in special damages, with interest at five per cent per annum from Jan 20, 2020, until full settlement, as well as RM21,000 in costs. The company had earlier said it strongly refuted the basis of the petition and had filed an appeal in the High Court against the Sessions Court decision. Mah Sing obtained an ad interim stay of execution on Feb 18 and deposited the judgment sum with a stakeholder pending its appeal, with further case management set for Aug 18. It added that the withdrawal of the petition is not expected to have any material financial or operational impact on the group, apart from legal fees and related disbursements.

ES Sunlogy's Sarawak solar power project to cost RM488mil
PETALING JAYA: ES Sunlogy Bhd has revealed that its joint development of a 155MWp large-scale solar photovoltaic power plant in Long Lama, Baram, Sarawak, will cost RM488.18mil. In a reply to a query from Bursa Malaysia, the mechanical and electrical engineering services company said the project will be funded via a combination of bank borrowings and internally generated funds, in a proposed ratio of 80:20. 'ES Sunlogy is currently in close discussions with two banking institutions to secure the necessary financing facilities for the investment in the joint venture,' it said. ES Sunlogy announced earlier this week that it had entered into a heads of agreement (HOA) with Planet QEOS Sdn Bhd to jointly develop the power plant. It said the pre-development period is estimated to be not later than 18 months from the date of the HOA, which was executed on Aug 11, 2025. 'Project commencement is expected to take place following the pre-development phase, with targeted completion no later than the end of 2027. For avoidance of doubt, the HOA serves as a memorandum of understanding and does not constitute the final joint venture agreement. 'The definitive joint venture agreement is expected to be negotiated and executed within the 18-month pre-development period.' In the event of a funding shortfall or where additional cash equity is required beyond bank loans for the project, ES Sunlogy said it intends to meet such fundings requirements via equity fundings. 'This may involve the issuance of new shares to interested investors, subject to prevailing market conditions and approvals from Bursa Securities, shareholders and relevant authorities (if relevant), through a private placement exercise of up to 30% of its enlarged share capital. 'The company will assess the appropriate funding structure at the relevant time to ensure optimal capital management and to support the timely execution of the project,' it said.

MR DIY net profit rises to RM158.58mil in 2Q
KUALA LUMPUR: MR DIY Group (M) Bhd's net profit for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025 (2QFY2025) rose to RM158.58 million from RM155.21 million in the same quarter a year ago. Revenue for the quarter under review was higher by 1.2 per cent at RM1.21 billion versus RM1.2 billion. The group attributed the better performance to the contributions from new stores. "This growth came off a high base in 2QFY2024, which had benefited from the Hari Raya festive season. The group opened 31 new stores during the quarter, bringing the total to 1,502 as at 1HFY2025 -- an increase of 12.1 per cent year-on-year (y-o-y)," said the home improvement retailer in a Bursa Malaysia filing today. Total transactions rose 5.0 per cent y-o-y to 48.5 million, partially offset by a 3.3 per cent decline in average basket size, mainly due to fewer items per transaction. On the outlook, MR DIY said the group does not foresee the ongoing market volatility stemming from geopolitical tensions, tariff adjustments, and changes to domestic policies, including the revised Sales and Service Tax effective July 2025 and the two per cent Employees Provident Fund contribution for foreign workers to have a material impact on its business operations. "Looking ahead, the group will continue to expand its retail footprint by strategically launching new stores across its core and sub-brands in 2025. These efforts aim to reinforce the group's market leadership and its position as the value retailer of choice for Malaysians," it said. In a statement, MR DIY announced an interim single-tier dividend of 1.5 sen per ordinary share totalling RM142.1 million in respect of the financial year ending Dec 31, 2025, to be paid on Sep 8, 2025. This brings the total dividend payout for the first half of the financial year 2025 (1HFY2025) to RM274.7 million. MR DIY's chief executive officer Adrian Ong said the retailer has steadily increased its dividend payout over the years to deliver strong cash returns to shareholders. "Our consistent track record since our listing in 2020 reflects this commitment. Backed by robust net operating cash flows and solid financial performance, we have exceeded our 50 per cent to 65 per cent target payout while continuing to invest in growth," he added.
