Ireka shares surge 66pct, extending meteoric two-day rally
KUALA LUMPUR: Ireka Corp Bhd saw its share price soar by as much as 66 per cent during morning trade today, continuing its meteoric rally following a 63.89 per cent gain the previous day. The stock climbed 66 per cent to 30 sen during the morning session from its previous close of 18 sen. Yesterday, Bursa Malaysia issued an unusual market activity (UMA) query to the company in response to the sharp rise in both price and trading volume of Ireka shares on July 30, 2025. The market regulator has requested the company to disclose any material developments, rumours, or other factors that may explain the unusual trading activity. As of press time, Ireka has not responded to the query. Bursa said the company's response will be made available on its official website under the company announcements section once received. The surge in share price comes amid ongoing corporate developments involving a major infrastructure contract. On July 28, Ireka received a notice of mutual termination concerning its RM1.07 billion subcontract with Gammerlite Sdn Bhd for the Pan Borneo Highway project, following upstream funding constraints and the exit of the main contractor. The termination proposal was triggered by the lapse of a project operation agreement between main contractor MTD Construction Sdn Bhd and Sabah-based Gammerlite, which was terminated on June 30 due to Gammerlite's failure to secure the necessary funding. On July 8, Ireka received a mutual termination notice from Gammerlite. Ireka, however, objected to the termination and is currently seeking legal advice to evaluate avenues for cost recovery and fair compensation. "The company is pursuing an equitable settlement for work performed and costs incurred and anticipates legal and administrative expenses in connection with the dispute resolution process," Ireka said in a statement. The company officially entered Practice Note 17 (PN17) status on March 1, 2022, due to its shareholders' equity falling below 50 per cent of its share capital.

Ireka to engage legal counsel on termination of Pan Borneo Sabah highway sub-contract
Published on: Tuesday, July 29, 2025 Published on: Tue, Jul 29, 2025 By: Bernama Text Size: For illustrative purposes only. KUALA LUMPUR: Ireka Corporation Bhd (Ireka) said it is in the process of engaging legal counsel in response to the proposed mutual termination notice from Gammerlite Sdn Bhd (GSB) relating to a sub-contract for a portion of the Pan Borneo Sabah highway project. The notice was received today from GSB, proposing a mutual termination of the letter of award (LOA) dated Oct 8, 2024 and Oct 11, 2024, where GSB had appointed Ireka's wholly-owned subsidiary, Shoraka Construction Sdn Bhd (SCSB), for road upgrade works from Kampung Lomou Baru to Kampung Toupus. The proposal followed the termination of the Project Operation Agreement (POA) between MTD Construction Sdn Bhd (the main contractor) and GSB, which was terminated on June 30, 2025, due to GSB's failure to secure the required funding by the deadline set out in the POA. Ireka said it has formally communicated its disagreement to GSB, but to date, it has not received a response. 'ICB does not agree to the proposed mutual termination in its current form, as certain scopes of work under the project have already been partially completed by SCSB; and the mutual termination notice does not address settlement terms for the value of work completed or related obligations,' it said in a stock exchange filing. In addition, it said in any event, Ireka said it 'hereby reserves all its rights, interests, and remedies under the LOA and applicable laws against GSB, including but not limited to recovery for work performed and related costs.' 'The financial impact to the group remains indeterminate at this stage, pending the conclusion of settlement discussions. 'The project's contract sum was RM1.07 billion, of which approximately RM10 million has been recognised, with RM1 million in profit based on approximately one per cent physical progress,' it added. Ireka is seeking equitable settlement for work performed and costs incurred, and anticipates legal and administrative expenses in connection with the dispute resolution. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?
