MN Holdings to focus on power-related infrastructure upgrades: Maybank IB
KUALA LUMPUR: MN Holdings Bhd's upcoming projects will largely focus on power-related infrastructure upgrades, Maybank Investment Bank Bhd (Maybank IB) said. These are supported by structural trends like Tenaga Nasional Bhd's grid modernisation, increasing data centre demand, and the expansion of semiconductor-related infrastructure. On Wednesday, MN Holdings announced that it had secured a RM37.9 million contract for engineering, procurement, construction, installation, testing and commissioning works involving transmission lines for a waste-to-energy facility in the central region. "This contract win lifts MN Holdings outstanding order book to RM1.2 billion, equivalent to 4.7 times its financial year 2024 revenue. "We have assumed a RM500 million new job win for financial years 2025 to 2027," it said. Maybank IB noted that MN Holdings is steadily broadening its involvement in utility-related projects, which could act as a catalyst for long-term growth. The group is actively pursuing and carrying out projects involving sewerage systems, water pipelines and flood mitigation infrastructure. "Of the RM662 million in jobs secured year to date, 60 per cent is attributed to data centre projects, and this momentum is expected to continue," Maybank IB added.

Police also arrested five men, including a Singaporean, in seven raids that involved four districts from April 20 to 24. The raids, carried out by the Johor Narcotics Criminal Investigation Department (NCID), included vehicle inspections and also checks on rented residences within the Johor Baru South, Batu Pahat, Kota Tinggi and Kluang districts. Johor police chief Datuk M. Kumar said the first and second raids were carried out between 1.30pm and 7.30pm on April 20 at Jalan Abdullah Tahir here, where a 22-year-old male suspect was arrested. 'Police conducted checks on a parked car before a follow-up raid on an apartment unit that was rented by the suspect where investigators found 9,351.06 grammes (g) of ecstasy powder and 62.00g of ketamine. 'The total seizure in this operation, which also involved the suspect's vehicle and cash, was RM1,724,927. The suspect did not have any previous criminal records, but a drug test found him positive for methamphetamine abuse,' he told reporters at the Johor police contingent headquarters here today. Kumar, who was accompanied by several senior police officers, said the third raid was carried out between 7pm and 11.30pm on the next day (April 21) at a jetty in Batu Pahat.

For the fifth and sixth raids, Kumar said police arrested a 33-year-old man at 1pm on April 23 after checks on a Proton Wira car and a terrace house owned by the suspect's wife in Taman Mengkibol.
