Wang-Zheng estimates RM20mil provisional loss from Rawang factory fire
In a reply to a query from Bursa Malaysia, the company, which is principally engaged in manufacturing, processing and distribution of fibre-based products, said it is still unable to determine the actual losses to be incurred by CCI.
'From the occurrence of discussions with our insurance providers to quantify the financial impact, preliminary assessments suggest that any financial effects, including business disruption, will be mitigated through our existing insurance coverage.
'Based on information available at this time, the estimated provisional loss for this incident is approximately RM20mil, arising from the loss of plant, machinery and inventories, prior to insurance claim from the fire incident.
Wang Zheng announced earlier this week that the fire incident occurred at CCI's factory in Rawang, Selangor, in the morning on Monday, June 30.
'As the Fire and Rescue Department operations are ongoing and investigations into the cause of the fire are underway, the operations at the factory and warehouse have been halted and closed. Our staff in CCI have been relocated to other factories of our subsidiary companies.
'A further announcement will be made on the actual losses incurred by CCI and the group from the fire outbreak upon completion of the investigation and assessment by the company's internal team, insurance company and authorities concerned.'

Express Powerr to raise RM36mil from listing

KUALA LUMPUR: Generator rental services provider Express Powerr Solutions (M) Bhd, which is en route to be listed on the ACE Market of Bursa Malaysia on Sept 24, 2025, is expected to raise RM36mil via its upcoming initial public offering (IPO). The IPO price is fixed at 20 sen per share, giving the company a market capitalisation of RM186.9mil upon listing, based on an enlarged issued share capital of 934.4 million shares. Managing director Lim Cheng Ten said that the proceeds would enable the company to expand its fleet by at least 36 units and acquire medium and high-voltage equipment to support this expansion over the next three years. Lim said Tenaga Nasional Bhd is expected to remain Express Powerr's largest revenue contributor, although its reliance has dropped to 60% in 2024 from 95% previously. He noted that with 27 oil and gas projects worth RM4.46bil approved in the first nine months of 2024, demand for generator sets in exploration and drilling is set to rise. To reward shareholders, Lim said the company has adopted a dividend policy of 30% to 50% of net profit. On diversification, he said the group's solar business remains in its infancy and would not be a near-term focus. The IPO involves the public issuance of 180 million new shares or 19.3% of the enlarged share capital, and an offer for sale of 65.4 million existing shares. — Bernama

Amway profit plunges, warns of weaker full-year performance
KUALA LUMPUR: Amway (M) Holdings Bhd has warned that its full-year revenue and profit are likely to fall, citing prevailing business uncertainties.
