The group’s revenue took a dip as opposed to the preceeding<br />

year. The revenue for 2012 stood at RM148.8 million as compared<br />

to RM50.2 million in 2011. The EBITDA for the year 2012 closed<br />

at a loss of RM9,205 as opposed to RM64,402 for 2011.<br />

The shortfall in student enrollment caused the decline in<br />

revenue. The Group’s financial performance for the year was bad,<br />

however our balance sheet is strong to weather the challenges.<br />

Against this backdrop, the Company will moderately expand<br />

business through overseas student recruitment, international<br />

school initiative and foreign partnership.<br />

I am delighted to report that the launching of MEGB’s new<br />

flagship campus in Petaling Jaya, Selangor that will mark our<br />

commitment to provide higher quality learning opportunities for<br />

Malaysians.<br />

The full-fledged campus is equipped with state of the art facilities<br />

to provide a range of academic courses, particularly in niche<br />

management areas.<br />

As for the year under review, the decline in profits was mainly<br />

due to lower student enrolment. There were many hurdles<br />

that the group had to overcome and the relentless struggles to<br />

overcome these obstacles are still ongoing.<br />

The PTPTN loan scheme which was reduced from RM60,000<br />

to RM45,000 for each diploma students is just one of the many<br />

hurdles in the path of the Group.<br />

The decision by the Malaysian Nursing Board to increase<br />

the minimum entry requirement for the diploma in nursing<br />

programme from 3 credits to 5 credits at the Sijil Pelajaran<br />

Malaysia (SPM) was another underlining factor to the obstacles<br />

faced by MEGB.<br />

As MEGB realized the blistering change in the pace of the macro<br />

environment, the Group endeavored to rise to the challenge that<br />

would take MEGB to a higher plateau in the educational front.<br />

With the recent signing of the MoU between Dr. Lyndon Jones,<br />

the Founder Chairman of the Association of Business Executives<br />

(ABE), UK with MEGB, AMU and MGC are now able to open<br />

their doors to students across Malaysia who are intending to<br />

pursue their Certificates to Graduate Diploma levels in ABE<br />

which allow students to pursue an MBA qualification.
