NOTES:-
1. Appointment of Proxy
A member entitled to attend and vote at the Meeting is entitled
to appoint a proxy to attend and to vote in his stead. A proxy
need not be a member of the Company. The instrument
appointing a proxy must be deposited at the Registrar’s Office
at 20th Floor, IGB Plaza, Jalan Kampar Off Jalan Tun Razak,
50400 Kuala Lumpur not less than forty eight (48) hours before

by a corporation, it must be either under its Common Seal or

2. Change of Auditors
A Notice of Nomination pursuant to Section 172(11) of the
Companies Act, 1965, a copy of which has been sent to members,
has been received by the Company for the nomination of Messrs
Arthur Andersen & Co, who have given their consent to act, for
appointment as Auditors of the Company and of the intention to
propose the above ordinary resolution.
3. Resolution Pursuant To Section 132(D) of the Companies Act, 1965
In line with the Company’s plan for expansion/diversification, the
Company is actively looking into prospective areas so as to
broaden its operating base and earning potential. As the
expansion/diversification may involve the issue of new shares, the
Directors, under present circumstances would have to call for a
general meeting to approve the issue of new shares even though
the number involved is less than ten per centum (10%) of the
issued share capital.
In order to avoid any delay and costs involved in convening a
general meeting to approve such issue of shares, it is thus
considered appropriate that the Directors be now empowered to
issue shares in the Company up to an amount not exceeding in
total ten per centum (10%) of the issued share capital of the
Company for the time being for such purpose. This authority,
unless revoked or varied at a general meeting, will expire at the
next Annual General Meeting of the Company.
