Deputy Chairman/
Group Managing Director's
message
Dear fellow Bousteadians,
The first half of the year has brought
us both challenges and successes. The
external conditions of the economic
climate in the European Union, USA and
China are beginning to show signs of
adverse affects on our nation.
As one of the leading trading nations in
the world, Malaysia will need to prepare
for any external economic setbacks that
may impact us. The Boustead Group
with diverse businesses in the Malaysian
economy will have to brace itself during
these times. I am certain Bousteadians
will rise to the challenge and give their
best.
At the same time we are committed
to continue to support worthy causes.
Towards this end, I would like
to commend the Property
Division on their official
ground-breaking
ceremony,
marking the commencement
of development for Johor
Affordable Homes in Taman
Mutiara Rini, Skudai. Such an endeavour
is one of our many ways to continue to
contribute to the social economic well-being
of Malaysians. We are able to undertake
initiatives of this nature given that Mutiara
Rini in Johor has become a highly successful
property development and we are always
conscious to plough back our profits for the
benefit of society.
In the Klang Valley and for the seventh
consecutive year, BHPetrol has done well by
organising Orange Run 2012. As I was about
to flag off this event on a Sunday morning,
it was heartening to see thousands of
enthusiastic health conscious runners taking
the effort to participate in this annual event.
To make this occasion more meaningful, we
have incorporated a social responsibility
element into this run as RM30,000.00 were
donated to charitable causes.
By now Bousteadians would have
undergone the necessary awareness
programmes towards our effort to align
each one of us to a common goal. With
our Core Values & Core Competencies
in place, I hope that our collective effort
to work together and increase in our
efficiencies will strengthen.
As we look towards the second half of the
year, we have to increase our resolve and
channel more energy to deliver results
for our shareholders and stakeholders.
As one of the leading GLCs in the nation,
we have a moral obligation to ensure that
our best efforts are applied in order for us
to do our utmost.
Sebagai salah satu negara perdagangan
terkemuka di dunia, Malaysia perlu
bersedia menghadapi apa jua halangan
ekonomi dari luaran yang boleh memberi
kesan kepada kita. Kumpulan Boustead
yang merangkumi pelbagai jenis
perniagaan dalam ekonomi Malaysia
perlu bersedia apabila menghadapi
saat-saat sebegini. Saya pasti staf
Boustead akan menyahut cabaran ini
dan memberikan yang terbaik.
Pada masa yang sama, kita akan sentiasa
komited untuk menyokong usahausaha murni. Saya ingin mengucapkan
syabas kepada Bahagian Hartanah di
atas pelancaran rasmi majlis pecah
tanahnya yang menandakan bermulanya
pembangunan Rumah Mampu Milik
Johor di Taman Mutiara Rini, Skudai.
Di Lembah Klang pula, BHPetrol telah
berjaya menganjurkan Orange Run 2012
bagi kali ketujuh berturut-turut. Ketika
merasmikan acara pada pagi Ahad itu,
saya berasa terharu melihat semangat
beribu-ribu para pelari yang pentingkan
kesihatan menyertai acara tahunan ini.
Untuk menjadikan acara ini lebih bermakna,
kita telah menggabungkan elemen
tanggungjawab sosial ke dalam larian ini di
mana wang tunai sebanyak RM30,000.00
telah didermakan untuk tujuan kebajikan.
Sehingga kini, staf Boustead sepatutnya
telah menjalani program kesedaran
bagi menyokong usaha kami untuk
menyelaraskan setiap seorang daripada
kita ke arah matlamat yang sama.
he Menteri Besar of Johor, Y.A.B. Dato' Hj. Abdul Ghani
Othman, was the guest of honour at Mutiara Rini Sdn. Bhd.’s
Groundbreaking Ceremony on 12 June 2012. The ceremony was to

he journey by bus began with the 7.00 a.m. assembly at
Menara Boustead and at around 1.30 p.m., we arrived at one
of Boustead’s finest estates, Telok Sengat Estate. After having a
sumptuous seafood lunch, Tn. Hj. Shuaib, the manager of Telok
Sengat Estate and his staff took us on a tour of the beautiful
estate, to demonstrate the harvesting and collection process of
Fresh Fruit Bunches (FFB). This was followed by a visit to the mill,
to learn and gain an understanding of the processes in a mill with
En. Zainal, the mill manager. After a tiring yet educational visit
to the estate and mill, we departed to Johor Bahru late in the
evening.
The retreat was made memorable, with our visit to the Universal
Studio Singapore (USS) on the second day. Despite the rain, everyone
was excited and eager for all the thrills and spills at USS. Even the faint
hearted ones experienced the 3D thrill ride of the Transformers, the
Battlestar Galactica, the world’s tallest duelling roller coasters that gave
everyone an adrenaline rush and not forgetting the Jurassic Park ride.
Everyone was also amazed by the stunts and feats at Water World, the
adventurous and audacious journey at Revenge of the Mummy, the
Madagascar ride and also the 4D Far Far Away Shrek movie together
with many other attractions. Our USS adventure ended with the
Hollywood Dreams Parade where the favourite blockbuster movies
and characters came to
life on magnificent floats.
Before we bade farewell
to Singapore, we stopped

government hub for Johor. We also
drove past the upcoming attraction and theme park in Malaysia, Legoland
which will be ready by September 2012. In addition, we had our Group Finance Bowling
Tournament in the afternoon, where six teams went head to head battling for the best team and
best male bowler and best female bowler. After the exciting bowling battle, we searched our way to Kampong
Senibong for our dinner, where we had the best seafood dishes in town.

The last day of the retreat had come by and with a heavy heart,
we packed our bags for our journey back to Kuala Lumpur. We
stopped by at Johore Premium Outlet (JPO) located in Kulaijaya
as our last itinerary and had our shopping spree varying
from Coach bags to Nike shoes. Almost everyone purchased
something for their beloved family members, friends and
colleagues. Some even shopped until they dropped, with
their hands full of large shopping bags. Finally, we arrived at
Menara Boustead at around 8.00 p.m. and from the bottom
of our hearts, we would like to thank the management and
Mr. Daniel (who was in UK for official duty) for the retreat and
not forgetting the Telok Sengat staff for their warm hospitality.

Centre of Excellence for
Post-harvest Biotechnology
Dr. Ali said, “In developing countries losses of between 10
to 100 per cent have been recorded. Tropical countries like
Malaysia have a particular problem because of the number
of micro-organisms that exist due to humidity. Cutting postharvest losses could add a sizeable quantity to the global
food supply.”
With funding from the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences
Research Council (BBSRC) UK, the Ministry of Agriculture,
Malaysia (MOA), the Ministry of Science, Technology and
Research conducted on fruits at UNMC lab
Innovation, Malaysia (MOSTI) and private sector organisations
in Malaysia, the CEPB is working with other universities
across the world to find solutions to the problem of postharvest waste. It is also running an accompanying MSc and
PhD programme.
The team have already proved the concept of their technology
to extend the shelf life of fruits and are now negotiating with
industry to trial their product. Dr. Asgar can be contacted at

the world, coupled with his desire to raise money for the Red
Cross, Ahmad admitted that while the idea seemed daunting
at first, he was excited by the unpredictability of the trip. He
said, “I wanted to do the trip for the challenge it represents
and the experiences I might have along the road. The chance
to drive anywhere, with the relative freedom of having the
world’s road network in front of me, and experiencing what
other travellers might miss, makes the concept of travelling by
scooter very tempting.”
The trip was made possible by the Malaysian motorcycle
manufacturer Demak, which provided Ahmad with a free
scooter, while GIVI on the other hand provided him the attire
and motorcycle accessories he needed. Since then, he has
gone through the labourious task of sketching out a basic
route and securing the necessary visas. Ahmad was excited
about the potential assistance his adventure could provide to
some of the world’s poorest people. He explained, “I choose
to raise money for the Red Cross after having the privilege of
meeting many people that have volunteered with the charity.
The Red Cross has always been the first on site following
natural disasters, wars and other miserable conditions that
many suffer. They try to help people regardless of the severity
of the situation and now I would like to raise awareness of
their noble actions, unselfishness and volunteerism, in which
they often risk their lives to help others.”

Together with message of support from his fellow students
and previous experiences gained during a similar 4,000 k.m.
trip to South East Asia, Ahmad said, “Being able to get out of
the daily routine, the chance to experience things that very few
might have experienced before, challenging my boundaries and
understanding of others are what I am really looking forward
to. Although it might sound strange, the need to complete this
journey on a ‘student’ budget of just £1,000.00 (RM5,000.00)
is also something I am looking forward to. The element of
unpredictability of how I am going to manage and if I am going
to manage, makes the whole trip a bit more exciting.”

Boustead Property organises annual
Fire Safety and First Aid seminars 2012
At each of these seminars, the Bomba officers stressed
that fire safety is not only the responsibility of the building
owner but also equally the responsibility of the building
tenants. They also emphasised that tenants must ensure
that all passageways leading to exits must not be obstructed
by furniture or office equipment and not to store any
highly combustible materials such as shredded papers.
Furthermore, tenants are reminded to brief new staff on
the Emergency Response Manual, update the listing of
Fire Marshals and physically challenged individuals in the
office and inform the building management accordingly.

The Persatuan Bulan Sabit Merah Malaysia who were
also invited to speak at the seminars gave insights into
the importance of first aid. They also demonstrated the
correct way to provide first aid to victims of heart attack,
electrocution, choking, burns, accidents and others.

As safety is paramount, the Boustead Property Division has
been organising such seminar and training on fire safety
and first aid as well as conducting fire evacuation exercise
once a year. We would like to thank the Jabatan Bomba dan
Penyelamat, the Persatuan Bulan Sabit Merah Malaysia and
the participants for making all three seminars a success.
Honest guard saves the day!
O
n 31 July 2012, while performing
his regular patrols around the
car park basement, on duty security
guard En. Abdul Karim Ahmad
noticed a small black bag on the
floor at exit lane No. 14. Upon closer
inspection, he discovered to his
amazement that the bag contained
RM6,000.00 in cash. Commendably,
he immediately radioed the Duty
Officer for further action.
The bag was accidentally dropped by
the owner, En. Wan Faizal, Marketing
Manager of Eve Cargo Express as he
was entering his vehicle to leave the
Curve building. He had withdrawn
the money from CIMB bank and
had already left the mall by the time
of the discovery. Indeed En. Faizal
only realised the bag was missing
when he reached the toll plaza at
Penchala Link. Horrified, he rushed
back to the Curve and sought the
administration’s assistance.
En. Faizal was very much relieved
when he recovered the bag
together with his cash intact and
upon hearing about the honesty
of En. Karim, thanked the man for
looking after the money. He went
on to praise the Curve management for having
such an honest and dedicated staff.
