Deputy Chairman/
Group Managing
Director's message
Dear fellow Bousteadians,
We achieved another strong year of financial
results in 2013, as the Group delivered a profit
before tax of RM708 million on the back of
a revenue of RM11.2 billion. We were able to
do this as many Bousteadians worked hard
to achieve these results. Additionally, our
corporate exercise involving the privatisation
of Al-Hadharah Boustead REIT contributed to
our bottom line.
All our Divisions except the Heavy Industries
Division registered positive performances
with the Property Division leading the way.
We are however confident that in the long run
the Heavy Industries Division will contribute
positively to the Group.
In 2014, we expect many external
circumstances to affect our performance.
However, as a conglomerate with a diverse
and skilled workforce, we should be able
to overcome these challenges and do our
utmost to deliver meaningful results. This
will not only benefit the Group as a whole,
but also increase our self-worth and give us
the opportunity to challenge ourselves to do
better.
There will certainly be challenges this year,
but on the horizon we can look forward
to several key corporate milestones. This
includes the proposed listing of Boustead
Plantations Berhad along with a number of
other corporate initiatives that will be taking
place.
Boustead has always been an entrepreneurialdriven conglomerate and our various
businesses have contributed in one way or
another to our growth. Despite the external
challenges, I am confident in the coming
year we will rise to the occasion and with
strong teamwork deliver results. Let us aspire
to move ahead and realise our goals and
objectives.
Perutusan Timbalan Pengerusi/
Pengarah Urusan Kumpulan
Staf Boustead yang dihargai,
Kita berjaya mencapai satu lagi keputusan kewangan yang kukuh
pada tahun 2013, di mana Kumpulan telah mencatat keuntungan
sebelum cukai sebanyak RM708 juta di atas perolehan sebanyak
RM11.2 bilion. Kita berjaya melakukannya kerana ramai staf Boustead
telah bekerja bertungkus-lumus bagi mencapai keputusan ini. Di
Alsamping itu, langkah korporat yang melibatkan penswastaan ​​
Hadharah Boustead REIT turut menyumbang kepada keuntungan kita.
Semua Bahagian kita kecuali Bahagian Industri Berat, telah
mencatatkan prestasi yang positif, di mana Bahagian Hartanah telah
mendahului. Kita yakin bahawa dalam jangka masa panjang, Bahagian
Industri Berat ini akan menyumbang secara positif kepada Kumpulan.
Terdapat banyak faktor luaran yang boleh menjejaskan prestasi kita
pada tahun mendatang. Bagaimanapun sebagai sebuah konglomerat
dengan tenaga kerja yang pelbagai dan terlatih, kita sepatutnya boleh
mengatasi cabaran-cabaran ini dan melakukan yang terbaik untuk
memberikan hasil yang bermakna. Ini bukan sahaja akan memberikan
manfaat kepada Kumpulan secara keseluruhannya, tetapi juga dapat
meningkatkan harga diri kita dan memberi peluang untuk mencabar
diri sendiri untuk melakukan yang lebih baik.
Kita sudah pasti akan menghadapi pelbagai cabaran pada tahun ini,
tetapi dalam masa terdekat ini kita akan melaksanakan beberapa
inisiatif korporat yang penting. Ini termasuklah cadangan penyenaraian
Boustead Plantations Berhad serta beberapa inisiatif korporat lain
yang akan dilaksanakan.
Boustead sentiasa merupakan sebuah konglomerat yang berteraskan
keusahawanan dan pelbagai perniagaan kita telah menyumbang
kepada pertumbuhan kita. Walaupun berhadapan dengan cabarancabaran luar, saya yakin dalam tahun akan datang ini kita akan bangkit
dengan semangat kerja berpasukan yang kuat bagi mencapai hasil.
Marilah kita bersama=sama maju ke hadapan dan merealisasikan
matlamat dan objektif kita.
Thank you.
Terima kasih.

View along Jalan Boustead
Did you know?
B
oustead & Co. Ltd. was established in the same year that
Singapore was founded by Sir Stamford Raffles in 1828.
During that year, a British trader by the name of Edward
Boustead sailed to the Far East upon news of the discovery
of Singapore and subsequently set up a small office there.
The original logo was reflective of Boustead’s primary
business activities at the time as a trader importing goods
into the country and bringing back some of the local product
such as rubber, spices, tin ore and gold, amongst others.
En. Musa posing with the Jalan Boustead signage
In Malaysia, the company was known as Syarikat
Perdagangan Boustead Sdn. Berhad.
The Boustead Group first established branches in Malaysia
in Penang and Kelantan. In the early days, Boustead
operated a port in Tumpat, which was the capital of Kelantan
before Kota Bharu became the new capital. However, as the
Tumpat port of call became shallow, the Group’s activities
slowly diminished in that area.
Apart from trading, the Group was also involved in several
mining operations in Kelantan, with the discovery of tin and
gold in Temangan, Rantau Panjang and Gua Musang. The
rubber plantation was under the Lapan Kabu Estate.
Boustead left a historical mark in Tumpat with one of the
streets in Tumpat town named ‘Jalan Boustead’ after the
company. The street still exists today.
