Samaiden Group Bhd’s unit Samaiden Sdn Bhd has signed a partnership agreement with Management Venture Asia (Cambodia) Ltd (MVA) to explore clean energy-related business opportunities in Cambodia. The clean energy solution specialist said MVA has successfully completed the development of a 20MW ground-mounted solar pro, in which the project was awarded a power purchase agreement by the Electricite du Cambodge in Auambodge in August 2019.

Leform Bhd, through its 60%-owned subsidiary LF Engineering Sdn Bhd, has received a letter of acceptance from Ganda Imbuhan Sdn Bhd as a subcontractor for the supply and installation of guard rails for a portion of the West Coast Expressway.

Kawan Food Bhd has cancelled its plan to buy five parcels of land measuring 7.08 acres in Shah Alam, for RM50.46 million from RGP Warehouse Solutions Sdn Bhd, who had failed to get PKNS’ agreement to sell the plots. RGP managed to get the state-authority consent to transfer its lots to Kawan Food Manufacturing Sdn Bhd, Kawan Food’s wholly-owned subsidiary, but failed to have PNKS sign the sale and purchase agreement to complete the purchasing process. Both parties agreed to terminate the agreement on Dec 16.

Handal Energy Bhd’s 49%-owned associate company Handal Borneo Resources Sdn Bhd has entered into an agreement with Tanjung Aru Eco Development Sdn Bhd (TAED), a unit of Chief Minister of Sabah Inc, for the operation, management, extraction and sale of marine sea sand for a 15-year period in three concession areas. The concession areas are the Sunken Barrier Shoal, Hayter Shoal and Bunbury Shoal, all of which are about 55km offshore from Kota Kinabalu, Sabah but the company did not state the value of the concession. The concession is expected to contribute positively to the group’s earnings for the financial year ending Dec 31, 2023 onwards, until it expires.

The Malaysia Competition Commission (MyCC) has granted the units of Leong Hup International Bhd, PPB Group Bhd and Malayan Flour Mills Bhd (MFM) the final extension to submit their representation in response to the alleged price-fixing of poultry feed cases. Each unit was given the fourth and last extension until 12.00 noon on Jan 31, 2023.

Salcon Bhd said its 51%-owned subsidiary, JR Engineering and Medical Technologies (M) Sdn Bhd (JREMT), has filed a counterclaim against Aspen Glove Sdn Bhd, demanding the payment of RM22.36 million, being unutilised funds under a contract between the two parties which involves JREMT’s purchase of gloves by Aspen in 2021. The counterclaim is in response to a lawsuit filed by Aspen against JREMT, which it viewed as “non-meritorious”. Aspen filed the suit after JREMT served a letter of demand on the glove firm to demand the RM22.36 million.
