Pengarah Urusan
Dear friends and members of the UAC family,
Rakan-rakan dan warga UAC sekalian,
My warmest and best wishes to you for a Happy and
Fulfilling New Year.
Salam sejahtera dan ucapan selamat buat anda semua,
semoga kedatangan Tahun Baru ini membawa kebahagiaan
dan lebih bermanfaat.
As we look forward to 2012 we do so with resolve
to meet the challenges ahead as we foresee much
of the business sentiments of 2011 continuing in
the coming year. We are excited at the same time
because opportunities will come for those who are
prepared to break new grounds and venture into new
territories. We at UAC Group will continue to leverage
on the success of our existing products and systems
and venture into new territories.
Ketika kita menyambut kedatangan tahun 2012, kita perlu
melaluinya dengan penuh keazaman bagi menghadapi
cabaran-cabaran mendatang kerana kita menjangkakan
banyak sentimen perniagaan pada tahun 2011 akan
berterusan pada tahun hadapan. Pada masa yang sama,
kita berasa teruja kerana peluang-peluang akan datang
bagi mereka yang bersedia untuk mencuba sesuatu yang
baharu dan menyertai bidang-bidang baharu. Kami di
Kumpulan UAC akan terus menggunakan pengaruh kami
di atas kejayaan produk dan sistem sedia ada kami serta
menyertai bidang-bidang baharu.
As we have reported in our quarterly announcements
throughout 2011, the Company was able to maintain
and even grow revenue despite difficult business
environment. However, rising costs had put a tight
squeeze on profit margins and the strong Malaysian
Ringgit against our major trading currencies had also
eroded revenue from export sales. Management will
continue to work to improve efficiencies in operations,
increase productivity and strive for volume growth in
all markets in the coming year.
The support of all our business partners in 2011 has
been tremendous, for which we are very appreciative.
Our appreciation goes also to all our employees for
the team work in 2011, and I urge my colleagues to
continue to rise up to meet the challenges in the year
ahead.
Seperti yang dilaporkan dalam pengumuman suku tahunan
sepanjang tahun 2011, Syarikat telah berjaya mengekalkan
dan menambahkan pendapatan walaupun persekitaran
perniagaan agak sukar. Walau bagaimanapun, kos yang
semakin meningkat telah menyekat margin keuntungan
sementara Ringgit Malaysia yang kukuh berbanding
matawang dagangan utama juga telah mengurangkan
pendapatan daripada jualan eksport. Pihak pengurusan
akan terus berusaha untuk memperbaiki kecekapan dalam
operasi, meningkatkan produktiviti dan berusaha untuk
mencapai pertambahan jumlah jualan dalam semua
pasaran pada tahun hadapan.
Kami mengucapkan terima kasih di atas sokongan padu
daripada semua rakan perniagaan kami sepanjang tahun
2011. Penghargaan kami juga ditujukan kepada semua
para pekerja kami di atas kerja pasukan pada tahun 2011
dan saya menyeru agar rakan sekerja saya akan terus
bangun bagi menghadapi cabaran-cabaran pada tahun
akan datang.
My best wishes to our Chinese friends and colleagues
for a Happy and Prosperous Lunar New Year.
Saya ingin mengucapkan selamat maju jaya kepada semua
rakan serta rakan sekerja berbangsa Cina kami, semoga
Tahun Baru Lunar ini disambut dengan gembira dalam
suasana makmur.
