Deputy Chairman/
Group Managing Director's message
Perutusan Timbalan Pengerusi/
Pengarah Urusan Kumpulan
Dear fellow Bousteadians,
Staf Boustead yang dihargai,
As we pass three quarters of the year, I am particularly
pleased to note that our Group has registered a strong
profit after tax of RM229 million for the second quarter
of this financial year, marking a 70% jump in profit after
tax on a quarter-on-quarter basis. These results are a
clear indication of our Group’s stellar performance as
we are committed to enhancing shareholder value.
Ketika kita melewati tiga perempat tahun ini, saya dengan
sukacitanya ingin memaklumkan bahawa Kumpulan kita
telah mencatatkan keuntungan selepas cukai yang kukuh
sebanyak RM229 juta bagi suku kedua tahun kewangan
ini, iaitu peningkatan dalam keuntungan selepas cukai
sebanyak 70% berdasarkan suku-ke-suku tahun. Keputusankeputusan ini merupakan satu petunjuk jelas mengenai
pencapaian cemerlang Kumpulan kerana kita komited untuk
meningkatkan nilai pemegang saham.
We have seen an increase in performance in most of our
Divisions as a result of strong organic growth. Leading the
way for the year is our Plantation Division due to robust
crude palm oil prices. The Manufacturing and Trading
Division has also performed very well and we are glad
that the Pharmaceutical Division, being a new entity
in your Group, has started to bear fruit. The Property,
Finance and Investment as well as Heavy Industries
Divisions also have played a role in contributing to your
Group’s bottomline.
Hasil pertumbuhan organik yang kukuh, kita dapat melihat
satu peningkatan dalam prestasi Kumpulan di kebanyakan
Bahagian kita. Tahun ini Bahagian Perladangan telah
mendahului disebabkan harga minyak sawit mentah yang
mantap. Bahagian Pembuatan dan Perdagangan juga telah
menunjukkan prestasi yang baik dan kita berasa gembira
kerana Bahagian Farmaseutikal yang merupakan entiti
baru Kumpulan telah mula membuahkan hasil. Bahagianbahagian Hartanah, Kewangan dan Pelaburan serta Industri
Berat juga turut memainkan peranan dalam menyumbang
kepada keuntungan Kumpulan.
During this period, we have taken an important step to
articulating our Core Values and Core Competencies for
the benefit of all Bousteadians. I am glad to share with
you that our Core Values are Respect, Integrity, Teamwork
and Excellence (RITE) while our Core Competencies
are Results Driven, Shared Responsibility, Continuous
Improvement, Customer Focus and Interpersonal Skills
(RSCCI).
Semasa tempoh ini, kita telah mengambil satu langkah
penting untuk menjelaskan mengenai Nilai-nilai Teras dan
Kecekapan-kecekapan Teras kita bagi manfaat semua staf
Boustead. Saya gembira untuk berkongsi bersama anda
bahawa Nilai-nilai Teras kita adalah Hormat, Integriti, Kerja
Berpasukan dan Cemerlang sementara Kecekapan-kecekapan
Teras kita adalah Berkemudikan Pencapaian, Tanggungjawab
Bersama, Peningkatan Berterusan, Fokus Pelanggan dan
Kemahiran Perhubungan.
As our Group grows in size and our numbers increase,
it is crucial that all Bousteadians are aligned with the
aspirations of the Group in order to achieve meaningful
results for our shareholders and for our own personal
growth. On this basis, I hope these values will give us
the extra impetus to work harder.
Memandangkan Kumpulan semakin berkembang dari segi
saiz dan angka yang meningkat, maka adalah amat penting
agar semua staf Boustead selari dengan aspirasi-aspirasi
Kumpulan supaya kita dapat mencapai hasil yang lebih
bermakna untuk para pemegang saham kita dan juga untuk
perkembangan peribadi kita. Oleh demikian, saya berharap
nilai-nilai ini akan memberi dorongan tambahan untuk kita
bekerja dengan lebih keras lagi.
Thank you.
Terima kasih.

eastern and western influences. It is a well-developed city filled with skyscrapers. We have never seen a place
where high-rise buildings are so close and concentrated and a skyline that goes on for such a long distance like we did in
Hong Kong. The pace of the city is fast - the people walk fast, eat fast, speak fast and live fast, even the escalators move
fast. Moving around Hong Kong was easy and safe thanks to their awesome transportation system, which is modern,
fast, efficient, systematic and clean. All in all, we had a lot of fun in Hong Kong. It is an interesting place with many
exciting things to do and we certainly made the most of our 4D/3N here.

Sawadee Kaap! Bangkok… Here we come! In conjunction with the Malaysia Day national holiday, Group Finance Department
of Boustead Holdings Berhad had its 2011 retreat in Bangkok from 16 - 19 September 2011. The retreat was planned to further
strengthen bonds among members of the Group Finance team and at the same time rejuvenate everyone's mind, body and soul.
"Hi, nice meeting you!"
Day 1
The journey to the 'Land of A Thousand Smiles' began at 5.45 a.m. with an assembly in front of Wisma Boustead.
At 9.10 a.m., our flight, MH 784, departed for Bangkok and upon arrival, we were greeted by our Thai guide, Mr. Siripong. After
lunch, we visited the Ananta Samakhom, a western style marble palace built in the era of King Rama V, also known as the Arts of
Kingdom. Mr. Pong briefed us on the history surrounding the Siam Kingdom during that era and how much the people loved their
king. At the Throne Hall, everyone was awed by the magnificent craftmanship of the palace and the gold plated exhibits such as
the king’s throne and Royal Barge Suphannahongse. In addition to that, we were also fascinated with the exquisite and exclusive
traditional Thai weaving exhibits. We left the Arts of Kingdom to check in to the hotel. After resting in our respective hotel
rooms, we were treated to an authentic Thai dinner at Nopparat Thai Dance Museum restaurant. With this, we concluded our
first day in this beautiful foreign land.

At Chatuchak, you can find everything under the sun, from food to clothing and furniture
