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.
The group is scheduled to be listed on the ACE Market of Bursa Malaysia on May 28.

MACC warns leakages erode trust in government institutions

GEORGE TOWN: Leakages and misappropriation of public funds not only harm national financial management but also weaken public confidence in government institutions, warns the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC). MACC Chief Commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki emphasized that public funds, crucial for national development, must be managed with full accountability. 'Misuse and weak internal controls lead to power abuse, wastage, and public burden,' he said. Among major cases highlighted were Op Water Sabah, involving a RM3.3 billion water supply project embezzlement, and a former Youth and Sports Ministry senior officer convicted of 96 charges related to forgery and money laundering. 'The MACC has seized luxury assets worth over RM3.5 billion and forfeited nearly RM28 billion in the past five years,' Azam stated. 'This shows our commitment to reclaiming stolen public funds.' He spoke at the closing of the 2025 Public Sector Finance and Auditing Seminar (SKPSA) in Teluk Bahang, themed 'Financial Integrity: Enforcing Compliance and Preventing Misappropriation in the Public Service.' Azam also noted the upcoming Government Procurement Bill, aimed at enhancing transparency in government procurement. He urged accountants and auditors to report irregularities fearlessly to uphold integrity. Additionally, he called for stronger whistleblower protections under the Whistleblower Protection Act 2010 and advocated for digital transformation in financial systems using AI and blockchain to detect fraud early. The seminar was organized by Tunku Puteri Intan Safinaz School of Accountancy (TISSA) and Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM), with MACC's Financial Analysis Division. Attendees included UUM officials and nationwide participants. - Bernama

Scams, mule accounts top threats to Apac banks

PETALING JAYA: A new industry poll by global analytics software leader Fico has found that scams and mule accounts have become the dominant threats facing banks across the Asia-Pacific (Apac). Seven in 10 (69%) senior banking executives identified these forms of criminal activity as their greatest concern, reflecting the continued rise of scams in which victims are tricked into sending money directly to criminals. Unlike traditional fraud, which typically involves unauthorised transactions that banks can detect and block, scams often bypass existing defenses because payments are authorised by the victim. Once the money is sent, criminals rely on mule accounts to quickly move funds across institutions and borders, making recovery extremely difficult. The findings echo a growing alarm across the financial ecosystem, as scam-related losses reach historic highs across the region. In 2024 alone, Singapore reported more than S$1.1 billion (RM3.6 billion) in scam losses, a 70% surge from the previous year. Thailand saw ฿60 billion (RM7.2 billion) in damages, while Malaysia's losses were estimated at a staggering RM54 billion, or nearly 3% of gross domestic product. Similar trends were reported in the Philippines and Indonesia, where scam-related activity now dominates cybercrime reports. In a statement yesterday, Fico, a company that is a pioneer in the use of predictive analytics and data science to improve operational decisions, said the poll found that more than half of banking leaders (52%) view social media platforms as the top external threat vector for scams, followed by messaging apps (35%). In a region with more than two billion social media users, platforms such as Facebook, TikTok, and Telegram have become key channels for targeting scam victims and recruiting money mules. It said that criminal syndicates use these platforms to impersonate officials, promote fake investments, or advertise bogus job opportunities. Many victims are lured into schemes that appear legitimate on the surface, while others are convinced to 'rent out' their accounts in exchange for quick cash, not realising they are enabling financial crimes. In Thailand, more than 200,000 mule accounts were shut down in a single year. Singapore has introduced legislation that criminalises the supply of mule accounts and gives banks and authorities powers to act in real-time. The poll also found banks face internal barriers to detecting and responding to scams. The most common issue cited was siloed data (46%), followed by a lack of connected insights across products and channels (28%), and limited real-time integration with third-party systems (13%). 'Scam activity is often fast, fluid, and fragmented,' said Fico managing director of Asia-Pacific Dattu Kompella. 'To respond effectively, banks need connected systems that provide a complete, realtime view of risk. Without breaking down internal silos and unifying insights across teams, many institutions will remain on the back foot.' The poll also explored bank leaders' views on reimbursing scam victims. Just 14% said banks should fully reimburse customers in all scam cases. Half said compensation should only apply when the bank is at fault, while 36% supported a shared responsibility model between banks and customers.

AIMS completes Cyberjaya Block 3 ahead of schedule, enabled M'sia to remain SEA's top data centre hub

AIMS Data Centre Sdn Bhd (AIMS), one of Southeast Asia's leading data centre operators, has continued to play a crucial role in nation-building by drawing foreign direct investments (FDIs) into Malaysia. The group's world-class infrastructure and expertise have attracted global cloud providers and content networks to Malaysia, thus spurring growth in fintech, e-commerce and artificial intelligence (AI), according to its CEO Chiew Kok Hin. Since DigitalBridge's acquisition of a stake in AIMS and formation of a partnership with existing shareholder Time dotCom in 2022, AIMS has raised over RM2 bil of debt and equity capital to support the growth of the Malaysian digital infrastructure sector. 'At AIMS, we derive immense fulfilment from knowing our presence has helped make Malaysia a regional base for global players, creating opportunities beyond data centres, and strengthening the wider digital economy,' shared Chiew. 'This cements Malaysia's position as Southeast Asia's leading data centre hub while continuously creating skilled jobs and has upskilling local talent.' Building on strong momentum, AIMS today (June 24) unveiled readiness of its AIMS Cyberjaya Block 3 facility. The new block adds substantial capacity while bringing AIMS' total potential capacity to more than 100MW in the Klang Valley by positioning it as the operator with the largest data centre capacity in Cyberjaya today. Spiralling demand Originally slated for completion next year, Block 3 was delivered ahead of schedule due to accelerated planning, strong customer backing and robust market demand. 'This achievement is a clear indication of market confidence that reflects our deliberate strategy to build in alignment with confirmed demand, rather than speculatively,' enthused Chiew. He further noted that AIMS is seeing surging demand from its strong international customer pipeline, driven by the region's rapid digitalisation, the rise of cloud and AI workloads as well as Malaysia's growing appeal as a strategic data centre destination. 'Hyper-scalers, enterprises and digital service providers are increasingly turning to Malaysia in view of our nation's competitive cost structure, abundant land and power resources, supportive government policies, and proximity to regional markets,' observed Chiew. 'Cyberjaya Block 3's early readiness is a testament to our operational agility, the trust our customers place in us, and the unwavering support of government stakeholders.' Founded in Malaysia in 1990, AIMS exemplifies the nation's ability to nurture digital economy champions. Backed by regional telecommunications service provider, Time dotCom Bhd and digital infrastructure-centric asset manager DigitalBridge Group Inc, AIMS is also progressively expanding its presence beyond Malaysia. Proactive support from Invest Selangor Malaysia Digital Economy Corp (MDEC), Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA) and councils enables has been pivotal in the early delivery of AIMS Cyberjaya Block 3. – July 24, 2025
