Points/Issues to Be Raised

Padini Holdings Berhad

(AGM)

The fashion industry is considered by the UN Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) as the second most polluting industry on earth with the environmental impact it inflicts during the production process.

With the growing awareness to shop sustainably, to buy less and spend prudently, how will such awareness shape Padini’s business direction going forward?

RGT Berhad

(formerly known as Asia Knight Berhad)

(AGM)

The Group faces challenges such as the intense competition from existing and new players and the volatile prices of raw materials. The Group will continue to embark on the development of new and innovative products and give emphasis on product quality in order to stay competitive in the market (Page 14 of the Annual Report 2019).

  • With regard to the intense competition from existing and new players, what is the current competitive advantage that the Group has compared to its market rivals?
  • How will the Group address the issue of volatile prices of raw material?
  • What is the progress todate in the development of new and innovative products? How does the Group plan to give emphasis on product quality?

Paos Holdings Berhad

The high customer concentration ratio creates concentration risk. What does the Company plan to do to reduce the dependency on Customer B and to expand customer base?

UCrest Berhad

(AGM)

Mr. Eg Kah Yee, the Executive Chairman/Managing Director of UCrest is also the Executive Chairman/Chief Executive Officer of Key ASIC Berhad.
