FOREWORD

The KLSE Handbook provides comprehensive financial and related information on the companies listed on the KLSE. This publication serves as an important tool in assisting the growing community of investors in making informed investment decisions.

This latest book, Volume 23 Book 4, continues the bi-lingual format with company profiles in English and Bahasa Malaysia published side by side. Listed in alphabetical order, Part 1 covers company names from A to J, Part 2 from K to P and Part 3 from R to Z. With each company's Board and sector listing indicated on the contents pages, compnies are easily identified and located.

In requiring greater corporate disclosure from the listed companies, KLSE continues to expand its efforts in providing more information to a larger group of investors. Another initiative of KLSE has been the recent launch of the KLSE Listing Information Network, or KLSE LINK, an internet-based electronic information dissemination system. KLSE LINK provides easy, convenient and cost-effective access to corporate information and can be accessed at the KLSE http://www.klse.com.my.

We appreciate the continued co-operation and support from all listed companies and advertisers as well as the staff of the Public Information Division for their efforts in producing this publication.

In conclusion, we would like to invite you to submit any comments that you may have on the format or contents of the Handbook to Ms Qua Gek Kim of the Public Information Division.
