Deputy Chairman/
Group Managing Director's message
Perutusan Timbalan Pengerusi/
Pengarah Urusan Kumpulan
Dear fellow Bousteadians,
Staf Boustead yang dihargai,
Reaching the halfway mark of the financial year 2011 has
been both encouraging and eventful for the Group.
Perjalanan Kumpulan menuju pertengahan tahun
kewangan 2011 adalah menggalakkan dan penuh dengan
pelbagai peristiwa.
I am particularly pleased to note that your Group has
registered a strong profit after tax of RM134 million for the
first quarter of this financial year, marking a 29% jump on
a year-on-year basis. These results are a clear affirmation
of your Group’s strength and commitment in delivering on
the bottomline and enhancing shareholder value.
The month of March marked a significant milestone
for the Group with the completion of the Pharmaniaga
Berhad acquisition. We are looking forward to positive and
sustained contributions from our Pharmaceutical Division
with the completion of this acquisition. I am confident all
subsidiaries and departments across the Group will support
this new listed subsidiary to achieve the aspirations of the
Group.
The Boustead Group, being a leading public limited
company under the stable of companies of Lembaga
Tabung Angkatan Tentera was also involved in the GLC
Open Day which was a major exercise undertaken by all
GLCs in Malaysia to communicate to Malaysians and the
public at large on the value proposition that the GLCs bring
to the Malaysian economy. It was indeed a very positive
event and we are glad to be part of this significant effort
to help Malaysians understand the role that GLCs play in
the economy.
As we look towards the remaining quarters of the year,
I trust all Bousteadians will work extra hard in order to
ensure that your Group remains successful and achieves
its goals this coming year.

Annual General Meeting
B
oustead Holdings Berhad's 49th Annual General Meeting (AGM)
was held on 7 April 2011 at the Menara Boustead’s 4th Floor
Conference Room.
Dengan sukacitanya, saya ingin memaklumkan bahawa
Kumpulan telah mencatatkan keuntungan selepas cukai
yang kukuh sebanyak RM134 juta bagi suku pertama tahun
kewangan ini, iaitu peningkatan sebanyak 29% berasaskan
tahun atas tahun. Keputusan ini jelas mengesahkan
kekuatan dan komitmen Kumpulan untuk memperoleh
keuntungan dan meningkatkan nilai pemegang saham.
A shareholder posing a question to the Board Members
Kumpulan mencatatkan satu lagi peristiwa penting
pada bulan Mac dengan selesainya pengambilalihan
Pharmaniaga Berhad. Kami mengharapkan sumbangan
yang positif dan berterusan dari Bahagian Farmaseutikal
dengan selesainya pengambilalihan ini. Saya yakin semua
anak syarikat dan jabatan di seluruh Kumpulan akan
menyokong anak syarikat yang baru disenaraikan ini untuk
mencapai aspirasi Kumpulan.
Sebagai sebuah syarikat awam terkemuka dan kukuh di
bawah Lembaga Tabung Angkatan Tentera, Kumpulan
Boustead juga terlibat dalam Hari Terbuka GLC, iaitu satu
usaha besar yang melibatkan semua Syarikat Berkaitan
Kerajaan (GLC) di Malaysia untuk memberi pendedahan
yang lebih dekat lagi kepada rakyat Malaysia dan
masyarakat secara amnya tentang peranan yang dimainkan
oleh GLC dalam menyumbang kepada pembangunan
ekonomi negara.
Dalam kita mengharungi baki suku tahun selebihnya,
saya percaya semua staf Boustead akan bekerja dengan
lebih kuat lagi agar Kumpulan kita sentiasa berjaya dan
mencapai matlamatnya pada tahun berikutnya.
As Ramadan is fast approaching, I take this opportunity to
wish all our Muslim friends a happy fasting. May this year’s
Ramadan be a better one for us all.
Memandangkan bulan Ramadan akan tiba tidak lama
lagi, saya mengambil kesempatan ini untuk mengucapkan
selamat berpuasa kepada semua rakan umat Islam kita.
Semoga Ramadan pada tahun ini lebih bermakna buat kita
semua.
Thank you.
Terima kasih.

All resolutions put forward were passed by the shareholders during the

The meeting concluded with a press conference.
Another milestone achievement by MHS Aviation
I
t was a proud moment and a feather in the
cap for MHS Aviation Berhad on 28 April
2011, when the company was presented
with the Gold Award by ExxonMobil
for `Hurt-Free Operations’ exceeding
100,000 man-hours, cumulative for
the last three years for its Kerteh
operations. This safety recognition
by ExxonMobil is another milestone
achievement for MHS Aviation.
Leading the helicopter operations for
oil and gas services in Malaysia, and
recognised by international helicopter
operators, manufacturers and
Original Equipment Manufacturers
(OEMs) for our safety achievements,
this award is an addition to the numerous local and
international awards achieved throughout its 27 years of
operations, both in the domestic and international arena.
Incidentally, during the period of review by ExxonMobil
for this award, MHS Aviation achieved the ‘CHAMPION’
award from Petronas Carigali for its Peninsular Malaysia
Operations (PMO) Contractors’ HSE Award in 2009.
MHS Aviation’s Safety Management System (SMS) is
premised on a solid foundation with the following eight
building blocks:
1. Senior management’s commitment in safety
management.
2. Effective safety reporting.
3. Continuous monitoring through safety data collection
system on hazards during normal operations.
4. Investigation of safety occurrences with the objective
of identifying systemic safety deficiencies rather than
assigning blame.
5. Sharing safety lessons learned and best practices
through an active exchange of safety information.
6. Integration of safety training for operations personnel.
7. Effective implementation of Standard Operating
Procedures (SOPs).
8. Continuous improvement of the overall safety levels.
With these SMS building blocks actively pursued on a daily
basis and with the desire as well as determination to
strive for continuous improvement, MHS Aviation shall
endeavour to maintain, if not, better its safety statistics to
continue as a leading provider of helicopter and fixed wing
charter services in Malaysia.

Profile of a Chartered Accountant
Teo Tian Rong
Qualifications:
• Associate member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants
in England & Wales (ICAEW)
• First-class Honours Bachelor of Economics in Accounting &
Finance from the University of Manchester
Date Joined Boustead:
• 1 August 2007
Current Position:
• Finance & Administration Manager,
Boustead Travel Services Sdn. Bhd.
Teo claims that he has had an interest and a passion for accounting
from a very early age. While he admits that this would seem
strange to most people, he cannot recall a time when he did not
harbour the ambition of being a successful accountant. Chasing
this dream, he took the first step by signing up for the subject
Prinsip Perakaunan for his SPM and has not looked back since.
Fresh from graduating with a First Class honours degree in
Accounting and Finance from the University of Manchester, Teo
joined the company in August 2007 as the inaugural member
of Boustead’s ICAEW Accountant Trainee Programme which
Boustead had just embarked on. Since then, he has been
attached to Group Finance, The University of Nottingham
Malaysia Campus and Boustead Travel Services. Through these
experiences, he has had the opportunity to better understand
the scope of the businesses that Boustead is involved in.
In addition to his responsibilities at work, he regularly attended
classes and lectures in preparation for examinations throughout
the year. This became increasingly difficult as he took on bigger
roles and responsibilities at the workplace and he admits that
at times, holding a full time job while pursuing his studies were
likened to hurdles that seemed insurmountable. He successfully
completed his examinations and graduated from the programme
in December 2010.
When asked how he felt upon receiving the results for his final
examination, he confessed that his immediate reaction was that
of relief. “My final exam was taken when I had just assumed the
role as the accounting head of Boustead Travel Services. My role
and responsibilities were new to me so I had to try very hard to
stay focused as I prepared for my exams. I’ve never worked as
hard as I did then but with a little bit of luck and determination,
I made it!”
Today, he looks forward to applying the knowledge gained
from his time with the programme to enhance and improve
the quality of his work. He is extremely grateful to Mr. Daniel
Ebinesan, the Group’s Finance Director and visionary of the
programme for allowing him to develop so quickly and for all
the guidance he has offered him over the years. Looking at
the future, he hopes to repay Mr. Daniel’s faith in him and to
continue providing value to the Group for many years to come.
Accountant Trainee Programme
The objective of the Boustead Holdings Berhad Accountant
Trainee Programme is to recruit and train fresh graduates as
future accountants for the Group. The programme serves
as a form of CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) in training
young professionals for the growth of the nation. It is specially
tailored for those looking to become Chartered Accountants
with a wide range of accounting bodies including the ICAEW
(Institute of Chartered Accountants in England & Wales),
MICPA (Malaysian Institute of Certified Public Accountants)
and CIMA (Chartered Institute of Management Accountants).
Spearheaded by Mr. Daniel, it is aimed towards graduates with
degrees in accountancy and is unique in that trainees will be
sponsored by the Company.
Trainees can look forward to a training period of approximately
three to four years, during which they will be rotated around
the Group’s wide range of operations and subsidiaries. The
job rotation is designed to provide trainees with exposure to a
broader spectrum of the accounting and business aspects of the
Group. Over the course of this training, trainees are mentored
to develop both personally and professionally in a wide range of
areas. At the same time, trainees are required to attend classes
and study on evenings and weekends, culminating in the sitting
of examinations which are held throughout the year.
Ultimately, this marriage of work experience and academic
knowledge ensures that graduates of the programme are wellrounded professionals. Graduates will thus be able to deal with the
rigours and responsibilities expected of a Chartered Accountant.
There are currently two other trainees who are pursuing the
ICAEW and MICPA under this programme.

Comfortable shoes were a necessity for this trip, especially
for the visit to one of the biggest volcano crater in Indonesia,
Tangkuban Perahu and mostly for the walks from one
factory outlet to another. These walks stretched on until the
wee hours and enabled us to enjoy the cool
night weather of Bandung.
All in all, we left Bandung with rejuvenated
feelings and fond memories, not forgetting
heavier bags and lighter wallets.
A list of assorted activities was lined up for the
group which included a tour of the historical

sights and colonial buildings and visits to the
mountainous outskirt of Bandung. Besides
enjoying the scheduled activities together,
we were also confronted with situations where our
social and survival skills were indirectly put to test
while adapting into a strange land.
We try our best to ignore the pedlars
A pose in front of Bangkok Palace Hotel
Bandung is filled with social and serviceoriented people, given the many hotels
and restaurants. Music scenes (eg: buskers)
are aplenty. It seems that everybody in
Bandung can sing (even if it is an old
Javanese song). However, petty crimes are
unavoidable. Walking in groups and high
alertness evaded bad happenings to our
team members.
Bandung is well-documented as a shopping
haven for shopaholics. Everything is cheap
and since our Malaysian Ringgit (RM) is at an
all-time high, the Indonesian Rupiah (IDR)
can turn you an instant millionaire.
Once out of the Hussein Sastranegara Airport in
Bandung, we had our first taste of the road pedlars who
offered a variety of souvenirs such as wooden pencils
with Bandung inscriptions, home-made keychains,
fridge magnets and metal praying beads (aka tasbih).

together at Mak Yah Moslem

towards the airport for our trip back
home to Kuala Lumpur.
Enjoying a Chao Phraya river cruise
We took a river cruise along the mighty
Chao Phraya River where we enjoyed
the scenic views of Bangkok’s city
skyline and got up-close with scenes
along the river bank, and ‘lives’ in the
river (where we fed the huge and everhungry catfish). As it was a long day
with non-stop activities, we decided to
have our dinner first before checkingin to our hotel, Bangkok Palace Hotel.
Dinner was at Notaprat, a restaurant

game’s outcome and looked forward to the following day.
"All together now......arms to the side and up-up and away!"
The second day of the programme was dedicated to the Sales Conference. Here, our
management team highlighted the sales achievement, under achievement, future projections
and sales planning for the future. The branches communicated their respective branch’s
progress, their future plans and the sales initiatives carried out at respective branches. The
Sales Conference wrapped up with a pledge from all to put in the extra effort to improve sales,
as well as to increase market share to achieve targets set.

Lunch was a unique experience whereby each partner had to
choose the dishes that he/she thought his/her partner liked
without asking the other party. Regardless of what the other
party put on the plate, his/her partner had to happily tuck into
their lunch. After the ‘team lunch’, it was time for the Royale
Race. Taking place at the adjacent recreational forest, all teams
were given different paths with different obstacles to overcome
but with the same goal of ending the race with a winning
attitude. The race ended at 5.30 p.m. with a feel-good mood that
as a team we had accomplished our goal for the day.
Our last day of the programme started with a refreshing
isometric exercise. After a healthy breakfast, we headed back to
the classroom for more reflections and action-based classroom
activities. In the session, we all shared our expectations from
the company and vice versa. By noon, our General Manager, En.

members dispersed to return to their respective states.

Awards such as Commendation Awards and Merit Awards were given out later
in the evening. Other activities included prize giving for Games Challenge 2011,
lucky draws, a karaoke session and selection of Best Dressed Couples.
s part of the company’s
social responsibility towards
the general public, Boustead
Holdings Berhad recently contributed
RM2,400.00 to the National Kidney
Foundation of Malaysia (NKF) for the
purchase of three dialysis chairs that
will be used by dialysis patients at the
NKF Dialysis Centre in Petaling Jaya.
Some of these dialysis patients spend
three to four hours, three times a
week at the centre receiving dialysis
treatment and these new chairs will
help make them more comfortable
during treatment. On top of that,
these additional chairs will shorten
