2 Deputy Chairman/ Group Managing Director's message Perutusan Timbalan Pengerusi/ Pengarah Urusan Kumpulan Staf Boustead yang dihargai, Dear fellow Bousteadians, The financial year 2011 has indeed been a very exciting one. Barely a few months into the new year and we have ventured into new areas, strengthened existing ones and more importantly improved our prospects enormously. As a conglomerate that is committed to enhancing shareholder value, we must ensure our shareholders benefit from the efforts of the entire Group. To improve our organisational structure and strengthen the Group s viability, we have restructured our six Divisions as per the following: 1) Plantation 2) Heavy Industries 3) Property 4) Finance & Investment 5) Pharmaceutical 6) Manufacturing & Trading The acquisition of Pharmaniaga from UEM has been successfully completed. This exercise will give us a stronger footing in the pharmaceutical industry and allow the Group to further develop the Pharmaceutical Division. Pharmaniaga has a strong position in the pharmaceutical industry and currently has a presence in 38 sites across Malaysia and internationally, including Indonesia and Vietnam. We expect that this Division will be a significant contributor to our bottom-line and strengthen Boustead s earnings potential in the coming year. We have expanded our interests into the local aviation industry with the recent acquisition of MHS Aviation Berhad. This will strengthen Boustead s involvement in the oil and gas sector and we are confident given its track record that MHS will prove a positive addition to the Group. Clearly, there are many prospects for Boustead and to fulfil these opportunities, we are strengthening our talent pool by bringing in the right professionals who will help us in our quest to grow our businesses. I also call upon Bousteadians who have been with the Group for some time to strengthen their energy level and contribute to our further growth. Insya-Allah it will be a very good year for the Group and for all of us as long as we stay focused and are constant in our efforts. Tahun kewangan 2011 ternyata merupakan tahun yang sangat menarik. Tidak sampai beberapa bulan kita memasuki tahun baru, kita telahpun menerokai bidang baru, mengukuhkan bidang sedia ada dan yang lebih penting lagi meningkatkan prospek kita dengan ketara. Sebagai sebuah konglomerat yang komited untuk meningkatkan nilai pemegang saham, kita perlu memastikan agar para pemegang saham kita mendapat manfaat daripada usaha Kumpulan keseluruhannya. Untuk memperbaiki struktur organisasi kita dan mengukuhkan daya maju Kumpulan, kita telah menstruktur semula enam Bahagian kita seperti berikut: 1) Perladangan 2) Industri Berat 3) Hartanah 4) Kewangan & Pelaburan 5) Farmaseutikal 6) Pembuatan & Perdagangan Kita telah berjaya mengambilalih Pharmaniaga daripada UEM. Usaha ini akan memberi kita tapak yang kukuh dalam industri farmaseutikal dan membolehkan Kumpulan mengembangkan lagi Bahagian Farmaseutikalnya. Pharmaniaga mempunyai kedudukan yang kukuh dalam industri farmaseutikal dan kini terdapat di 38 lokasi di seluruh Malaysia dan di luar negara, termasuk Indonesia dan Vietnam. Kita berharap Bahagian ini turut menjadi penyumbang penting kepada keuntungan kita dan dapat mengukuhkan potensi pendapatan Boustead di tahun mendatang. Kita telah mengembangkan kepentingan kita dalam industri penerbangan tempatan dengan mengambilalih MHS Aviation Berhad baru-baru ini. Ini dapat mengukuhkan lagi penglibatan Boustead dalam sektor minyak dan gas dan kita yakin melalui rekod prestasinya, MHS pasti merupakan tambahan positif kepada Kumpulan. Jelas terdapat banyak prospek untuk Boustead dan untuk memenuhi peluang-peluang ini, kita sedang mengukuhkan sistem pengumpulan bakat kita dengan membawa masuk para profesional yang bersesuaian yang dapat membantu dalam usaha kita mengembangkan perniagaan-perniagaan kita. Saya juga menyeru kepada staf Boustead yang telah lama berkhidmat dengan Kumpulan untuk meningkatkan tahap tenaga mereka dan menyumbang kepada pertumbuhan kita selanjutnya. Selagi kita sentiasa fokus dan kukuh dalam usaha-usaha kita, Insya-Allah tahun ini akan menjadi tahun yang sangat baik untuk Kumpulan dan juga untuk kita semua. Y.Bhg.

UNMC established the Pilot Plant and produces the super-capacitors for the project needs. A new partnership is formed between Dr. Jun Hyung Jin, CEO Semyung Ever Energy Company Limited of Korea (right) and En.

In 2010, the University celebrated a decade of international educational and research excellence in Malaysia at a time when the Malaysian government recognised UNMC as one of the nation s elite higher education providers. I wish to congratulate Tan Sri Lodin as it is just rightful that he receives due recognition for believing and supporting in us from the late 90s when we started talks in Malaysia.

15 15 Jokes of the day Letters from the inside An aging man lived alone in Ireland. His only son was in Long Kesh Prison, and he didn t know anyone who would spade up his potato garden. The old man wrote to his son about it, and received this reply, For HEAVENS SAKE, don t dig up that garden, that s where I buried the GUNS! At 4 a.m. the next morning, a dozen British soldiers showed up and dug up the entire garden, but didn t find any guns. Confused, the man wrote to his son telling him what happened and asking him what to do next. His son s reply was: Just plant your potatoes. Seeing Eye A blind man with a seeing eye dog at his side walks into a grocery store. The man walked to the middle of the store, pick up the dog by the tail, and starts swinging the dog around in circles over his head. The Store Manager, who had seen all this, thought this was quite strange. So, he decided to find out what s going on. The Store Manager approached the blind man swinging the dog and said, Pardon me. May I help you with something? The blind man said, No thanks. I m just looking around. The Sign A man was driving down a local street one day and approached a stop sign. He barely slowed down and ran right through the stop sign after glancing for traffic. What the driver didn t know was that a policeman was watching the intersection. The policeman pulled out after him and stopped the car two blocks away. Policeman: License, registration and proof of insurance please. Driver: Before I give it to you, tell me what the heck you stopped me for, man. Policeman: Watch your tone sir; you ran the stop sign back there!! Driver: Man, I slowed down, what the heck is the difference? The police officer pulled out his night stick and began smashing it over the man s head and shoulders. Policeman: Now, do you want me to just slow down or stop!!!?" An old couple at the doctors An old couple went to the doctor. The old man went first to have his physical examination. When the doctor was done with him, he sent the old man back into the waiting room and called the old woman in. The doctor told her, Before we proceed with the examination, I would like to talk to you about your husband first. The old woman said, Oh, no, it s his heart. I told him to lay off the eggs. The doctor said, Well, I asked your husband how he is feeling and he told me he felt great. He said that when he got up to go to the bathroom, he opened the door and God turned the light on for him. When he was done, he would shut the door and God would turn the light out for him. The old woman responded, Damn it, he s peeing in the fridge again! Paying their respects An elderly man 82, just returned from the doctors only to find he didn t have long to live. So he summoned the three most important people in his life to tell. 1. His Doctor 2. His Priest 3. His Lawyer Well today I found out I don t have long to live. So I asked you three here, because your the most important people in my life. And I need to ask a favour. Today I am going to give each of you and envelope with $50,000 dollars in it. When I die, I would ask that all three of you throw the money in my grave. Well a few days later the man passed on, The doctor said, I have to admit I kept $10,000 dollars of his money, he owed me lots of medical bills. But I threw the other $35,000 in. The Priest said, I have to admit also I kept $25,000 dollars for the church. Its all going to a good cause. And I threw the rest in. Well the Lawyer just couldn t believe what he was hearing, I am surprised at you two. I wrote a check for the whole amount and threw it in. 600-storey hotel Tom, Dick and Harry went to a party.
