CAHYA MATA SARAWAK BHD has unveiled plans to enhance corporate governance, management accountability and proactively raise its risk management capability following a review of financial and investment activities undertaken by its appointed independent financial advisor.

In a statement with Bursa Malaysia, the company said it would also embark on a human capital transformation programme to build a culture of governance and growth across the company to strengthen the accountability and integrity at all levels of senior management.

“The company has already taken initial steps toward this direction by bringing in several key leaders including head of risk, chief technical officer, chief of staff and head of compliance.

“It expects to augment these initiatives with a group-wide revamp of processes, procedures and controls to improve project bidding, monitoring of project costs and significantly improve project management,” it added.

TH PLANTATIONS BHD’s net profit improved to RM26.8 milion in the third quarter ended Sept 30, 2021 (Q3 FY2021) from RM15.77 million recorded in the same quarter last year. 

Revenue widened to RM205.87 million from RM167.43 million previously primarily due to higher revenue from oil palm plantations on the back of higher average realised prices for crude palm oil (CPO), palm kernel (PK) and fruit bunch (FFB) despite lower sales volume for the three products, it said in a filing with Bursa Malaysia today.

It said the outlook for the company’s overall financial performance for the financial year ending Dec 31, 2021 would largely depend on the movement of palm products prices and the progress of its ongoing Strategic Recovery Plans.

“Markets are expected to remain favourable until December 2021 as the result of overall low commodity inventory level in Malaysia,” it said.
