Shin Yang acquires land in Sarawak for RM12.05mil
PETALING JAYA: Shin Yang Group Bhd is acquiring a parcel of leasehold land together with a warehouse building, measuring approximately 1.9469 hectares in Kuching, Sarawak from Forescom Plywood Sdn Bhd for RM12.05mil.
In a filing with Bursa Malaysia, the company, which is involved in the shipping of loose bulk and container cargoes, said the acquisition will support its warehouse expansion and logistics development for door-to-door services as a complete logistic service provider.
Shin Yang added that the acquisition will also facilitate future expansion of warehousing facilities on the land and reduce rental dependency and related party transactions by acquiring instead of leasing from Forescom Plywood.
'The property is strategically located within the industrial hub of Kuching and Kuching Port Region, Sarawak. This will enhance the group's operational capacity and logistical efficiency.
'The acquisition aligns with the group's long-term expansion strategy and is expected to contribute positively to its operational performance and asset base.'

UMS to expand reach via Bursa secondary listing
An SGX sign at the Singapore Stock Exchange. — Reuters KUALA LUMPUR: Slated to be listed on the Main Market of Bursa Malaysia on Aug 1, high-precision engineering and manufacturing company UMS Integration Ltd – currently listed on the Mainboard of the Singapore Exchange (SGX) – says it will continue to expand its role within the semiconductor and aerospace value chains. Chief executive officer Andy Luong said the Singapore-headquartered company's impending secondary listing will enhance the group's visibility across the South-East Asian region and boost its position as an integrated service provider for global chip companies. 'Within the semiconductor space, we see opportunities in manufacturing high-precision components used in advanced packaging solutions, which play a vital role in enabling next-generation artificial intelligence and high-performance computing applications,' he said at a press briefing here yesterday. Given current global trade tensions, Luong added that Malaysia and Singapore are well-positioned to benefit from various outsourcing opportunities. 'We have the resources to serve the people as well, ' he said. Executive director, group financial controller and senior vice-president of operations Stanley Loh Meng Chong said Malaysia is a suitable place for the company's secondary listing due to several factors, including its plant located in Penang. He said UMS had pursued a dual listing in South Korea in 2010, but the plan fell through after the stock exchange regulators clamped down on overseas secondary listings following a fraud case involving a Chinese company. Loh added that Malaysia 'is a better place to raise funds and grow the business.' He believes that UMS is better run compared to its Malaysian peers, with stronger profit margins and dividend yields. 'In Singapore, typically our valuations are lower. We hope that by coming to Malaysia, it will help us to be valued more fairly versus our peers,' Loh said. UMS yesterday issued its prospectus for the secondary listing, which will be undertaken by way of introduction and will not involve any issuance or offering of shares. UMS shares will be fully fungible, meaning shareholders can transfer their shares between the SGX Mainboard and Bursa Malaysia's Main Market for trading. TA Securities Holdings Bhd is the principal adviser, while CGS International Securities Malaysia is the financial adviser for the exercise. At last look, UMS's market capitalisation was approximately S$945mil (equivalent to about RM3.13bil). It recorded revenue of S$242.1mil for the financial year ended Dec 31, 2024, while profit after tax stood at S$40.6mil, translating into a margin of 16.8%.
