Securities Berhad (“Bursa Securities”) on 20 December 2023 (“Listing”).

The Board of Directors (“the Board”) of JTG is dedicated to upholding and sustaining good corporate
governance practices across the Company and its subsidiary (“the Group”). This dedication is aimed
at promoting business prosperity and corporate accountability, with the ultimate objective of realising
long-term shareholder value while taking into account the interest of other stakeholders. This
commitment aligns with the principles and practices as set out in the Malaysian Code on Corporate
Governance 2021 (“MCCG”), the ACE Market Listing Requirements (“Listing Requirements”) of
Bursa Securities and the Corporate Governance Guide.

The Board is pleased to set out below the Corporate Governance Overview Statement which describes the manner in which
the Group has applied the following principles of the MCCG during the financial year ended 30 November ("FYE") 2023:

A. Board leadership and effectiveness;


B. Effective audit and risk management; and
C. Integrity in corporate reporting and meaningful relationship with stakeholders.

This Corporate Governance Overview Statement should be read together with the Corporate Governance Report 2023

Corporate Governance
Overview Statement
PRINCIPLE A – BOARD LEADERSHIP AND EFFECTIVENESS (CONT’D)

PART I – BOARD RESPONSIBILITIES (CONT’D)

The role of the Board Committees is to advise and make recommendations to the Board. Notwithstanding, the ultimate
responsibility for the final decision on all matters lies with the Board. The Chairman/Chairperson of these Board Committees
will provide highlights to the Board, and any further deliberation is made at the Board level, if required.

Separation of the Chairman and Managing Director Roles

The Board is led by an Independent Non-Executive Chairman, Datuk Ir. Mohd Aminuddin Bin Mohd Amin. He is responsible
for providing leadership and instilling good corporate governance and effectiveness of the Board. The positions of the
Chairman of the Board and the Managing Director are held by different persons. This is to ensure that there is a balance of
power and authority to promote accountability and unfettered powers in decision making. The Managing Director, Dato’ Seri
Lim Yeong Seong is responsible for the overall strategy and corporate direction of the Group, and implementing business
strategies to grow the Group and business.

The Board maintains the perspective that the Chairman of the Board should not be involved in any Board Committees. This is
to uphold checks and balances as well as objectivity. Having the Chairman of the Board who also sits on Board Committee(s)
gives rise to the risk of self-review and may impair the objectivity of the Chairman. Therefore, the Chairman of the Board is
not a member of any of the Board Committees which is in line with MCCG.

Company Secretaries

The Board is supported by two (2) external competent Company Secretaries, whom are either a member of the Malaysian
Institute of Chartered Secretaries and Administrators or a licensed secretary by Registrar of Companies. Both the Company
Secretaries are qualified under Section 235(2) of the Companies Act 2016 (“CA 2016”) and are experienced in discharging
their duties and responsibilities to the Board.

The Company Secretaries or the representatives of the Company Secretaries attended the Board and Board Committees’
meetings held during the FYE 2023 and ensure that the meetings are properly convened. Further, all deliberations and
decisions are properly minuted and filed.

All Directors have unrestricted access to the advice and services of the Company Secretaries to ensure the effective
functioning of the Board and its Board Committees, to be in line with the Board policies and procedures at all times as well as
comply with laws, rules, corporate governance best practices, procedures and regulations affecting the Company.

Board Charter

The Board has adopted a Board Charter that serves as a structured guide on matters relating to the Board. The Board
Charter is designed to provide guidance and clarity to Directors and Management with regards to the roles of the Boards
and its Board Committees, the role of the Chairman and Independent Directors, Managing Director, the requirements of
Directors in carrying out their roles and in discharging their duties towards the Company as well as the Board’s operating
practices. It also serves as a reference point for Board activities.

The Board will review and update the Board Charter from time to time to reflect the changes to the Company’s policies
and procedures to ensure the Board Charter remains consistent with the Board’s objectives, current laws and practices.
The Board Charter was last reviewed and revised in October 2022 and is available on the Company’s corporate website at
www.jatitinggi.com.

on Risk Management and Internal Control (“Statement”) which outlines the nature and scope of its risk management and
internal control of the Group during the financial year ended 30 November ("FYE") 2023. This Statement has been prepared
pursuant to Rule 15.26 (b) of the ACE Market Listing Requirements (“Listing Requirements”) of Bursa Malaysia Securities
Berhad ("Bursa Securities"), Guidance Note 11 of the Listing Requirements and as guided by the Statement on Risk
Management and Internal Control: Guidelines for Directors of Listed Issuers (“Guidelines”).

BOARD’S RESPONSIBILITY

The Board acknowledges its overall responsibility for maintaining a sound system of risk management and internal control,
and for reviewing its adequacy and effectiveness. The Board has delegated the responsibility for reviewing the adequacy and
effectiveness of the risk management and internal control systems to the Audit and Risk Management Committee (“ARMC”).

The ARMC was established to oversee the risk management matters within the Group, the roles and responsibilities of
the ARMC include amongst others, developing and recommending the Group’s risk management framework and policies,
reviewing and assessing the adequacy and effectiveness of the risk management structure, approved risk policies and
processes.

Due to inherent limitations in any risk management and internal control system, such a system put into effect by the
Management is designed to manage rather than eliminate risks that may impede the achievement of the Group’s business
objectives. Therefore, the risk management and internal control system can only provide reasonable and not absolute
assurance against material misstatement or loss.

The Management is responsible for implementing the Group’s policies and procedures on risk management and internal
control to identify, evaluate, measure, monitor and report risks as well as deficiencies and non-compliance with internal
controls.

KEY FEATURES OF THE GROUP’S RISK MANAGEMENT AND INTERNAL CONTROL SYSTEM

1. RISK MANAGEMENT

The Board regards the management of risks as an integral aspect of the daily operations of the Group. The Group had
established Risk Management Standard Procedures to empower people across the organisation in assessing and
managing risks with appropriate strategies in an enterprise-wide context. All risk management activity is intended to
align with corporate aims, objectives and priorities, aiming to protect and enhance the Group’s standing. Risk analysis
will be integrated into strategic planning, business planning and investment project appraisal procedures. This risk
management approach is intended to provide assurance on the reliability of systems and form the key means for
the Board to gain its direct assurance. Managers and staff at all levels are responsible for identifying, evaluating,
managing or reporting risks, and they will be equipped to fulfil these responsibilities. The reporting structure, roles
and responsibilities of the Board, Board Committees and Operational/Functional Unit Managers are clearly defined
to provide guidance to the Management.

The respective risk owners are assigned and responsible for identifying risks as well as ensuring that adequate
internal control is implemented to mitigate the risks faced by the Group. The key risk categories during the financial
year under review encompassed legal and regulatory, operational, and financial.

The abovementioned risk management practices of the Group serve as the on-going process used to identify,
evaluate and manage significant risks of the Group. The Board shall from time to time re-evaluate the existing risk
management practices, where appropriate and necessary.

and Internal Control
2. INTERNAL AUDIT SYSTEM

The Board, in its efforts to provide adequate and effective internal control, has appointed an independent consulting
firm, Messrs Sterling Business Alignment Consulting Sdn Bhd (“the Internal Auditors”) to review the adequacy and
integrity of its internal control system. The Internal Auditors reports directly to the ARMC during the ARMC meeting.

The ARMC is chaired by an Independent Non-Executive Director, and its members comprise solely Independent
Non-Executive Directors. The Internal Auditors is free from any relationships or conflicts of interest, which could
impair the objectivity and independence of the internal audit function. The Internal Auditors does not have any
direct operational responsibility or authority over any of the activities audited. The ARMC is of the opinion that the
outsourced internal audit function is effective and able to function independently.

Findings from the internal audit review conducted were discussed with the Management and subsequently presented
together with the Management’s response and proposed action plans, to the ARMC for their review and approval.

3. KEY ELEMENTS OF INTERNAL CONTROL

The other key elements of the Group’s internal control systems are as follows:

to be convened whenever necessary to ensure that the Directors maintain full and
effective control of all significant and operational issues.

and Authorisation accountability. The delegation of authority is documented and sets out the decisions
Procedures that need to be taken and the appropriate authority levels of management, including
matters that require the Board’s approval. Key financial and procurement matters of
the Group required authorisation from the relevant level of management.

Information and Information critical to the achievement of the Group’s business objectives is
Communication communicated through established reporting lines across the Group. This is to ensure
that matters that require the Board and Senior Management’s attention are highlighted
for review, deliberation and decision on a timely basis.

Monitoring and Review Management accounts containing key financial results and operational performance
are presented to the Management for monitoring and review. The quarterly financial
statements are presented to the Board for their review, consideration and approval.

Anti-Corruption Ethics The Group has adopted an Anti-Corruption Ethics and Compliance Policy to ensure
and Compliance Policy that proper safeguards exist to mitigate the risks of corruption and to prevent
contravention of any requirement under Section 17A(5) of the Malaysian Anti-
Corruption Commission Act (“MACC Act”). The Anti-Bribery and Corruption Policy is
applicable to all Directors and employees of the Group and any third parties associated
with the Group. This represents the Group’s effort to prevent the occurrence of bribery
and corrupt practices in relation to the businesses of the Group.

a channel to report and disclose any non-compliance or illegal activities within the
Group. The policy is made available on the Company’s website.

Information Other than the Financial Statements and Auditors’ Report Thereon

The directors of the Company are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the
information included in the annual report, but does not include the financial statements of the Group and of
the Company and our auditors’ report thereon.

Our opinion on the financial statements of the Group and of the Company does not cover the other
information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements of the Group and of the Company, our responsibility
is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially
inconsistent with the financial statements of the Group and of the Company or our knowledge obtained in the
audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other
information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Statements

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of financial statements of the Group and
of the Company that give a true and fair view in accordance with Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards,
International Financial Reporting Standards and the requirements of the Companies Act 2016 in Malaysia.
The directors are also responsible for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable
the preparation of financial statements of the Group and of the Company that are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements of the Group and of the Company, the directors are responsible for
assessing the Group’s and the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable,
matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either
intend to liquidate the Group or the Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to
do so.

Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements of the Group and
of the Company as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue
an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not
a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with approved standards on auditing in Malaysia and
International Standards on Auditing will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements
can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could
reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial
statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with approved standards on auditing in Malaysia and International
Standards on Auditing, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout
the audit. We also:-

• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements of the Group and of
the Company, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those
risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The
risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from
error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override
of internal control.

• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that
are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the Group’s and the Company’s internal control.

• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting
estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.

• Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and,
based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or
conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s or the Company’s ability to continue as a going
concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our
auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the financial statements of the Group and of the Company
or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit
evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause
the Group or the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements of the Group and of
the Company, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements of the Group and of the
Company represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

• Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business
activities within the Group to express an opinion on the financial statements of the Group. We are
responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely
responsible for our audit opinion.

Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements (Cont’d)

We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the
audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify
during our audit.

We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements
regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may
reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, actions taken to eliminate threats
or safeguards applied.

From the matters communicated with the directors, we determine those matters that were of most
significance in the audit of the financial statements of the Group and of the Company for the current financial
year and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ report unless law or
regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we
determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of
doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

OTHER MATTERS

This report is made solely to the members of the Company, as a body, in accordance with Section 266 of
the Companies Act 2016 in Malaysia and for no other purpose. We do not assume responsibility to any other
person for the content of this report.

4. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION

4.1 CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS

Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty

Management believes that there are no key assumptions made concerning the future, and other
key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date, that have a significant risk of causing a
material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year
other than as disclosed below:-

(a) Depreciation of Plant and Equipment, Investment Property and Right-of-Use Assets

The estimates for the residual values, useful lives and related depreciation charges for the
plant and equipment, investment property and right-of-use assets are based on commercial
factors which could change significantly as a result of technical innovations and competitors’
actions in response to the market conditions. The Group anticipates that the residual values
of its plant and equipment, investment property and right-of-use assets will be insignificant.
As a result, residual values are not being taken into consideration for the computation of the
depreciable amount. Changes in the expected level of usage and technological development
could impact the economic useful lives and the residual values of these assets, therefore
future depreciation charges could be revised. The carrying amounts of plant and equipment,
investment property and right-of-use assets as at the reporting date are disclosed in Notes
6, 7 and 8 to the financial statements respectively.

(b) Amortisation of Intangible Assets

The estimates for the residual values, useful lives and related amortisation charges for the
intangible assets are based on commercial factors which could change significantly as a
result of technical innovations and competitors’ actions in response to the market conditions.
The Group anticipates that the residual values of its intangible assets will be insignificant. As
a result, residual values are not being taken into consideration for the computation of the
amortisation amount. Changes in the expected level of usage and technological development
could impact the economic useful lives and the residual values of these assets, therefore
future amortisation charges could be revised. The carrying amount of intangible assets as at
the reporting date is disclosed in Note 9 to the financial statements.

(c) Impairment of Plant and Equipment, Investment Property, Right-of-Use Assets and
Intangible Assets

The Group determines whether an item of its plant and equipment, investment property, right-
of-use assets and intangible assets are impaired by evaluating the extent to which the
recoverable amount of the asset is less than its carrying amount. This evaluation is subject
to changes such as market performance, economic and political situation of the country. A
variety of methods is used to determine the recoverable amount, such as valuation reports
and discounted cash flows. For discounted cash flows, significant judgement is required in
the estimation of the present value of future cash flows generated by the assets, which
involve uncertainties and are significantly affected by assumptions used and judgements
made regarding estimates of future cash flows and discount rates. The carrying amounts of
plant and equipment, investment property, right-of-use assets and intangible assets as at the
reporting date are disclosed in Notes 6, 7, 8 and 9 to the financial statements respectively.

4.1 CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS (CONT’D)

Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty (Cont’d)

(d) Write-down of Inventories

Reviews are made periodically by management on damaged, obsolete and slow-moving


inventories. These reviews require judgement and estimates. Possible changes in these
estimates could result in revisions to the valuation of inventories. The carrying amount of
inventories as at the reporting date is disclosed in Note 10 to the financial statements.

(e) Impairment of Trade Receivables

The Group uses the simplified approach to estimate a lifetime expected credit loss
allowance for all trade receivables. The Group develops the expected loss rates based on
the payment profiles of past sales and the corresponding historical credit losses, and
adjusts for qualitative and quantitative reasonable and supportable forward-looking
information. If the expectation is different from the estimation, such difference will impact
the carrying values of trade receivables. The carrying amount of trade receivables as at
the reporting date is disclosed in Note 11 to the financial statements.

(f) Impairment of Non-Trade Receivables

The loss allowances for non-trade financial assets are based on assumptions about risk
of default (probability of default) and expected loss rates if a default happens (loss given
default). It also requires the Group to assess whether there is a significant increase in
credit risk of the non-trade financial asset at the reporting date. The Group uses judgement
in making these assumptions and selecting appropriate inputs to the impairment
calculation, based on the past payment trends, existing market conditions and forward-
looking information. The carrying amounts of other receivables and amount owing by
related parties as at the reporting date are disclosed in Notes 12 and 13 to the financial
statements respectively.

(g) Revenue Recognition for Construction Contracts

The Group recognises construction revenue by reference to the construction progress


based on the physical proportion of contract work certified by professional consultants.
Significant judgement is required in determining the progress towards complete
satisfaction of the performance obligation based on the contract work certified to date
corroborated by the level of completion of the construction based on actual costs incurred
to date over the estimated total contract costs. The total estimated costs are based on
approved budgets, which require assessment and judgement to be made on changes in,
for example, work scope, changes in costs and costs to completion. In making the
judgement, management relies on past experience and the work of specialists.

4.1 CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS (CONT’D)

Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty (Cont’d)

(h) Income Taxes

There are certain transactions and computations for which the ultimate tax determination
may be different from the initial estimate. The Group recognises tax liabilities based on its
understanding of the prevailing tax laws and estimates of whether such taxes will be due
in the ordinary course of business. Where the final outcome of these matters is different
from the amounts that were initially recognised, such difference will impact the income tax
expense and deferred tax balances in the period in which such determination is made.

(i) Discount Rates used in Leases

Where the interest rate implicit in the lease cannot be readily determined, the Group uses
the incremental borrowing rate to measure the lease liabilities. The incremental borrowing
rate is the interest rate that the Group would have to pay to borrow over a similar term,
the funds necessary to obtain an asset of a similar value to the right-of-use asset in a
similar economic environment. Therefore, the incremental borrowing rate requires
estimation particularly when no observable rates are available or when they need to be
adjusted to reflect the terms and conditions of the lease. The Group estimates the
incremental borrowing rate using observable inputs when available and is required to
make certain entity-specific estimates.

4. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION (CONT’D)

4.1 CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS (CONT’D)

Critical Judgements Made in Applying Accounting Policies

Management believes that there are no instances of application of critical judgement in applying
the accounting policies of the Group and of the Company which will have a significant effect on
the amounts recognised in the financial statements other than as disclosed below:-

(a) Classification between Investment Properties and Owner-occupied Properties

Some properties comprise a portion that is held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation
and another portion that is held for use in the production or supply of goods or services or
for administrative purposes. If these portions could be sold separately (or leased out
separately under a finance lease), of the Group and of the Company accounts for the
portions separately. If the portions could not be sold separately, the property is investment
property only if an insignificant portion is held for use in the production or supply of goods
or services or for administrative purposes.

(b) Lease Terms

Some leases contain extension options exercisable by the Group and the Company before
the end of the non-cancellable contract period. In determining the lease term,
management considers all facts and circumstances including the past practice and any
cost that will be incurred to change the asset if an option to extend is not taken. An
extension option is only included in the lease term if the lease is reasonably certain to be
extended (or not terminated).

4.2 BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION

The Group applies the acquisition method of accounting for those business combinations which
business combinations which were accounted for using merger method of accounting.

Under the merger method of accounting, the assets and liabilities of the merger entities are
reflected in the consolidated financial statements at their carrying amounts reported in the
individual financial statements. The consolidated statement of profit or loss and other
comprehensive income are the results of the merger entities for the full reporting period
(irrespective of when the combination takes place) and comparatives are presented as if the
entities had always been combined since the date for which the entities had come under
common control.

The difference between the cost of the merger and the share capital of the merger entities is
reflected within equity as merger reserve or merger deficit, as appropriate. The merger deficit is
adjusted against suitable reserves of the merger entities to the extent that laws or statues do
not prohibit the use of such reserves.

4.3 INVESTMENT IN A SUBSIDIARY

Investment in a subsidiary which is eliminated on consolidation, is stated in the separate financial


statements of the Company at cost less impairment losses, if any.

4.4 FUNCTIONAL AND PRESENTATION CURRENCIES

The individual financial statements of each entity in the Group are presented in the currency of the
primary economic environment in which the entity operates, which is the functional currency.

The financial statements of the Group are presented in Ringgit Malaysia (“RM”), which is the
Group’s functional and presentation currency.

4.5 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

(a) Financial Assets

Financial Assets Through Profit or Loss

The financial assets are initially measured at fair value. Subsequent to the initial recognition,
the financial assets are remeasured to their fair values at the reporting date with fair value
changes recognised in profit or loss. The fair value changes do not include interest and
dividend income.

Financial Assets At Amortised Cost

The financial assets are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs except for
trade receivables without significant financing component which are measured at
transaction price only. Subsequent to the initial recognition, all financial assets are
measured at amortised cost less any impairment losses.

Financial Assets Through Other Comprehensive Income

The financial assets are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs. Subsequent
to the initial recognition, the financial assets are remeasured to their fair values at the
reporting date with fair value changes taken up in other comprehensive income and
accumulated in the fair value reserve, except for the recognition of impairment, interest
income and foreign exchange difference of a debt instrument which are recognised directly
in profit or loss. The fair value changes do not include interest and dividend income.

(b) Financial Liabilities

Financial Liabilities Through Profit or Loss

The financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Subsequent to the initial
recognition, the financial liabilities are remeasured to their fair values at the reporting date
with fair value changes recognised in profit or loss. The fair value changes do not include
interest.

Financial Liabilities at Amortised Cost

The financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value less transaction costs.
Subsequent to the initial recognition, the financial liabilities are measured at amortised
cost.

(c) Equity

Ordinary Shares

Ordinary shares are recorded on initial recognition at the proceeds received less directly
attributable transaction costs incurred. The ordinary shares are not remeasured
subsequently.

(d) Financial Guarantee Contracts

Financial guarantee contracts are recognised initially as liabilities at fair value, net of
transaction costs. Subsequent to the initial recognition, the financial guarantee contracts
are recognised as income in profit or loss over the period of the guarantee or, when there
is no specific contractual period, recognised in profit or loss upon discharge of the
guarantee. If the debtor fails to make payment relating to a financial guarantee contract
when it is due and the Group, as the issuer, is required to reimburse the holder for the
associated loss, the reimbursement is recognised as a liability and measured at the higher
of the amount of loss allowance determined using the expected credit loss model and the
amount of financial guarantee initially recognised less cumulative amortisation.

4.6 PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

All items of plant and equipment are initially measured at cost.

Subsequent to initial recognition, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated
depreciation and any impairment losses.

Depreciation on plant and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their
depreciable amounts over the estimated useful lives. The principal annual depreciation rates are:-

Furniture and fittings 10%


Office equipment 10%
Tools and equipment 10%
Motor vehicles 20%
Plant and machinery 10%
Computer systems 30%
Renovation 10%

4.7 INVESTMENT PROPERTIES

Investment properties are initially measured at cost. Subsequent to initial recognition, the
investment properties are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses.

4.8 INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Intangible assets are initially measured at cost. Subsequent to the initial recognition, the intangible
assets are measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment
losses.

The intangible assets are amortised using the straight-line method to allocate their depreciable
amounts over the following periods:-

4.9 RIGHT-OF-USE ASSETS AND LEASE LIABILITIES

(a) Short-term Leases and Leases of Low-value Assets

The Group and the Company apply the “short-term lease” and “lease of low-value assets”
recognition exemption. For these leases, the Group and the Company recognise the lease
payments as an operating expense on a straight-line method over the term of the lease
unless another systematic basis is more appropriate.

(b) Right-of-use Assets

Right-of-use assets are initially measured at cost. Subsequent to the initial recognition, the
right-of-use assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated
impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities.

The right-of-use assets are depreciated using the straight-line method from the
commencement date to the earlier of the end of the estimated useful lives of the right-of-use
assets or the end of the lease term.

(c) Lease Liabilities

Lease liabilities are initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are
not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the entities’ incremental borrowing
rate. Subsequent to the initial recognition, the lease liabilities are measured at amortised
cost and adjusted for any lease reassessment or modifications.

(d) Assets under Hire Purchase

Assets acquired under hire purchase are capitalised in the financial statements at the lower
of the fair value of the leased assets and the present value of the minimum lease payments
and, are depreciated in accordance with the policy set out in Note 4.6 above. Each hire
purchase payment is allocated between the liability and finance charges so as to achieve a
constant rate on the finance balance outstanding. Finance charges are recognised in profit
or loss over the period of the respective hire purchase agreements.

4.10 INVENTORIES

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined on the
weighted average cost method and comprises all costs of purchase plus other costs incurred in
bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.

4.11 CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash in hand, bank balances, demand deposits, and short-
term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are
subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value with original maturity periods of three months or
less. For the purpose of the statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents are presented net
of bank overdrafts.

4.12 NON-CURRENT ASSETS HELD FOR SALE AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

Non-current assets (or disposal group comprising assets and liabilities) that are expected to be
recovered primarily through sale rather than through continuing use are classified as held for sale.
Immediately before classification as held for sale, the non-current assets (or the disposal group)
are remeasured in accordance with the Group’s accounting policies. Upon classification as held for
sale, the non-current assets (or non-current assets of the disposal group) are not depreciated and
are measured at the lower of their previous carrying amount and fair value less cost to sell. Any
differences are recognised in profit or loss. In addition, equity accounting of equity-accounted
associates ceases once classified as held for sale or distribution.

A discontinued operation is a component of the Group’s business that represents a separate major
line of business or geographical area of operations that has been disposed of or is held for sale, or
is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale. Classification as a discontinued operation
occurs upon disposal or when the operation meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale, if
earlier. When an operation is classified as a discontinued operation, the comparative statement of
profit or loss and other comprehensive income is restated as if the operation had been discontinued
from the start of the comparative period.

4.13 IMPAIRMENT

(a) Impairment of Financial Assets

The Group recognises a loss allowance for expected credit losses on investments in debt
instruments that are measured at amortised cost.

The expected credit loss is estimated as the difference between all contractual cash flows
that are due to the Group in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the
Group expects to receive, discounted at the original effective interest rate.

The amount of expected credit losses is updated at each reporting date to reflect changes
in credit risk since initial recognition of the respective financial instrument. The Group
always recognises lifetime expected credit losses for trade receivables using the simplified
approach. The expected credit losses on these financial assets are estimated using a
provision matrix based on the Group’s historical credit loss experience and are adjusted
for forward-looking information (including time value of money where appropriate).

4.13 IMPAIRMENT (CONT’D)

(a) Impairment of Financial Assets (Cont’d)

For all other financial instruments, the Group recognises lifetime expected credit losses
when there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition. However,
if the credit risk on the financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial
recognition, the Group measures the loss allowance for that financial instrument at an
amount equal to 12-month expected credit losses.

The Group recognises an impairment gain or loss in profit or loss for all financial
instruments with a corresponding adjustment to their carrying amount through a loss
allowance account, except for investments in debt instruments that are measured at fair
value through other comprehensive income, for which the loss allowance is recognised in
other comprehensive income and accumulated in the fair value reserve, and does not
reduce the carrying amount of the financial asset in the statements of financial position.

(b) Impairment of Non-Financial Assets

The carrying values of assets, other than those to which MFRS 136 does not apply, are
reviewed at the end of each reporting period for impairment when there is an indication
that the assets might be impaired. Impairment is measured by comparing the carrying
values of the assets with their recoverable amounts. When the carrying amount of an
asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is written down to its recoverable amount
and an impairment loss shall be recognised. The recoverable amount of an asset is the
higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and its value in use, which is measured
by reference to discounted future cash flows using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects
current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.
Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the
Group determines the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset
belongs.

An impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately.

When there is a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount, a
subsequent increase in the recoverable amount of an asset is treated as a reversal of the
previous impairment loss and is recognised to the extent of the carrying amount of the
asset that would have been determined (net of amortisation and depreciation) had no
impairment loss been recognised. The reversal is recognised in profit or loss immediately.

4.14 EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

(a) Short-term Benefits

Wages, salaries, paid annual leave and bonuses are measured on an undiscounted basis
and are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which the associated services are rendered
by employees of the Group.

(b) Defined Contribution Plans

The Group’s contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised in profit or loss in the
period to which they relate. Once the contributions have been paid, the Group has no further
liability in respect of the defined contribution plans.

4.15 INCOME TAXES

(a) Current Tax

Current tax assets and liabilities are the expected amount of income tax recoverable or
payable to the taxation authorities.

Current taxes are measured using tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or
substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period and are recognised in profit or loss
except to the extent that the tax relates to items recognised outside profit or loss (either in
other comprehensive income or directly in equity).

(b) Deferred Tax

Deferred tax is recognised using the liability method for temporary differences other than
those that arise from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction which is not
a business combination and at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting profit
nor taxable profit.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in
the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on the tax rates that
have been enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, unused tax
losses and unused tax credits to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will
be available against which the deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses and
unused tax credits can be utilised. The carrying amounts of deferred tax assets are reviewed
at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable
that the related tax benefits will be realised.

Current and deferred tax items are recognised in correlation to the underlying transactions either
in profit or loss, other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

4. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION (CONT’D)

4.15 INCOME TAXES (CONT’D)

Current tax assets and liabilities or deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a
legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when the
deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity (or on different tax entities but they intend to
settle current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis) and the same taxation authority.

4.16 CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events and whose existence
will only be confirmed by the occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within
the control of the Company. It can also be a present obligation arising from past events that is
not recognised because it is not probable that an outflow of economic resources will be required
or the amount of obligation cannot be measured reliably.

A contingent liability is not recognised but is disclosed in the notes to the financial statements,
unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote. When a change in the probability
of an outflow occurs so that the outflow is probable, it will then be recognised as a provision.

4.17 EARNINGS PER ORDINARY SHARE

Basic earnings per ordinary share is calculated by dividing the consolidated profit or loss
attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Group by the weighted average number of ordinary
shares outstanding during the reporting period, adjusted for own shares held.

Diluted earnings per ordinary share is determined by adjusting the consolidated profit or loss
attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Group and the weighted average number of ordinary
shares outstanding, adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.

4.18 OPERATING SEGMENTS

An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities from
which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, including revenues and expenses that relate
to transactions with any of the Group’s other components. An operating segment’s operating
results are reviewed regularly by the chief operating decision maker to make decisions about
resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and for which discrete
financial information is available.

4. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION (CONT’D)

4.19 BORROWING COSTS

Borrowing costs that are not directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of
a qualifying asset are recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method.

4.20 FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an
orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, regardless of whether
that price is directly observable or estimated using a valuation technique. The measurement
assumes that the transaction takes place either in the principal market or in the absence of a
principal market, in the most advantageous market. For non-financial asset, the fair value
measurement takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate economic benefits by
using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would
use the asset in its highest and best use.

For financial reporting purposes, the fair value measurements are analysed into level 1 to level
3 as follows:-

Level 1: Inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical asset or liability
that the entity can access at the measurement date;

Level 2: Inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within level 1, that are observable
for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3: Inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

The transfer of fair value between levels is determined as of the date of the event or change in
circumstances that caused the transfer.

4. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION (CONT’D)

4.21 REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS

Revenue is recognised by reference to each distinct performance obligation in the contract with
customer and is measured at the consideration specified in the contract of which the Group
expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer,
net of sales and service tax, returns, rebates and discounts.

The Group recognises revenue when (or as) it transfers control over a product or service to
customer. An asset is transferred when (or as) the customer obtains control of that asset.

The Group transfers control of a good or service at a point in time unless one of the following
over time criteria is met:-

• The customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided as the Group
performs.

• The Group’s performance creates or enhances an asset that the customer controls as the
asset is created or enhanced.

• The Group’s performance does not create an asset with an alternative use and the Group
has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date.

Construction Services

Revenue from construction services is recognised over time in the period in which the services
are rendered using the output by reference to the construction progress based on the physical
proportion of construction work certified by professional consultants. Transaction price is
computed based on the price specified in the contract and adjusted for any variable
consideration such as incentives and penalties. Past experience is used to estimate and provide
for the variable consideration, using expected value method and revenue is only recognised to
the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal will not occur.

A receivable is recognised when the construction services are rendered as this is the point in
time that the consideration is unconditional because only the passage of time is required before
the payment is due. If the construction services rendered exceed the payment received, a
contract asset is recognised. If the payments exceed the construction services rendered, a
contract liability is recognised.

4.22 REVENUE FROM OTHER SOURCES AND OTHER OPERATING INCOME

(a) Interest Income

Interest income is recognised on an accrual basis using the effective interest method.

(b) Lease Income

Lease income from investment properties is accounted for on a straight-line method over
the lease term.

(c) The fair value of the investment property was within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy and was
arrived at by reference to market evidence of transaction prices for similar properties and was
performed by a registered valuer having appropriate recognised professional qualification and
recent experience in the locations and category of properties being valued. The most significant
input into this valuation approach was the price per square foot of comparable properties.
Adjustments are then made for differences in location, size, facilities available, market conditions
and other factors in order to arrive at a common basis.

36. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Group’s activities are exposed to a variety of market risk (including foreign currency risk, interest rate
risk and equity price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group’s overall financial risk management
policy focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects
on the Group’s financial performance.

36.1 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT POLICIES

The Group’s policies in respect of the major areas of treasury activity are as follows:-

(a) Market Risk

(i) Foreign Currency Risk

The Group does not have any transactions or balances denominated in foreign
currencies and hence, is not exposed to foreign currency risk.

(ii) Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial
instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Group’s
exposure to interest rate risk arises mainly from long-term borrowings with variable
rates. The Group’s policy is to obtain the most favourable interest rates available and
by maintaining a balanced portfolio mix of fixed and floating rate borrowings.

The Group’s fixed rate receivables and borrowings are carried at amortised cost.
Therefore, they are not subject to interest rate risk as defined in MFRS 7 since neither
carrying amounts nor the future cash flows will fluctuate because of a change in market
interest rates.

The Group’s exposure to interest rate risk based on the carrying amounts of the
financial instruments at the end of the reporting period are disclosed in Notes 19, 23,
24 and 25 to the financial statements.

Interest Rate Risk Sensitivity Analysis

The following table details the sensitivity analysis to a reasonably possible change in
the interest rates at the end of the reporting period, with all other variables held
constant:-

36.1 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT POLICIES (CONT’D)

(a) Market Risk

(iii) Equity Price Risk

The Group does not have any quoted investments and hence, is not exposed to
equity price risk.

(b) Credit Risk

The Group’s exposure to credit risk, or the risk of counterparties defaulting, arises mainly
from trade and other receivables. The Group manages its exposure to credit risk by the
application of credit approvals, credit limits and monitoring procedures on an ongoing
basis. For other financial assets (including cash and bank balances), the Group minimises
credit risk by dealing exclusively with high credit rating counterparties.

(i) Credit Risk Concentration Profile

The Group’s major concentration of credit risk relates to the amounts owing by three
(3) (2022 - two (2)) customers which constituted approximately 95% (2022 - 90%)
of its trade receivables at the end of the reporting period.

(ii) Maximum Exposure to Credit Risk

At the end of the reporting period, the maximum exposure to credit risk is
represented by the carrying amount of each class of financial assets recognised in
the statement of financial position of the Group after deducting any allowance for
impairment losses (where applicable).

(iii) Assessment of Impairment Losses

The Group has a formal credit policy in place and the exposure to credit risk is
monitored on an on-going basis through periodic review of the ageing of the trade
receivables. The Group closely monitors the trade receivables’ financial strength to
reduce the risk of loss.

At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether any of the financial assets at
amortised cost are credit impaired.

The gross carrying amounts of financial assets are written off against the associated
impairment, if any, when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery despite the
fact that they are still subject to enforcement activities.

(b) Credit Risk (Cont’d)

(iii) Assessment of Impairment Losses (Cont’d)

A financial asset is credit impaired when any of following events that have a
detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have
occurred:
- Significant financial difficulty of the receivable;
- A breach of contract, such as a default or past due event;
- Restructuring of a debt in relation to the receivable’s financial difficulty;
- It is becoming probable that the receivable will enter bankruptcy or other
financial reorganisation.

The Group considers a receivable to be in default when the receivable is unlikely to


repay its debt to the Group in full or is more than 90 days past due.

Trade Receivables

The Group applies the simplified approach to measure expected credit losses using
a lifetime expected credit loss allowance for all trade receivables.

Inputs, Assumptions and Techniques used for Estimating Impairment Losses

To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables and contract assets have
been grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics and the days past due.
The contract assets relate to unbilled work in progress and have substantially the
same types of contracts. Therefore, the Group concluded that the expected loss
rates for trade receivables are a reasonable approximation of the loss rates for the
contract assets.

The Group measures the expected credit losses of certain major customers, trade
receivables that are credit impaired and trade receivables with a high risk of default
on individual basis.

The expected loss rates are based on the payment profiles of sales over 12 months
(2022 - 12 months) before the reporting date and the corresponding historical credit
losses experienced within this period. The historical loss rates were not adjusted to
reflect forward-looking information on macroeconomic factors affecting the ability of
the trade receivables to settle their debts as the Group has not identified any
forward-looking assumptions which correlate to the historical loss rate.

There are no significant changes in the estimation and assumptions as compared


to the previous financial year.

For construction contracts, the Group assessed the expected credit loss of each
customer individually based on their financial information and past trends of
payments as there are only a few customers. All of these customers have a low risk
of default as they have a strong capacity to meet their debts.

Other Receivables and Amount Owing by Related Parties

The Group applies the 3-stage general approach to measuring expected credit
losses for its other receivables and amount owing by related parties balances.

Inputs, Assumptions and Techniques used for Estimating Impairment Losses

Under this approach, the Group assess whether there is a significant increase in
credit risk for receivables by comparing the risk of default as at the reporting date
with the risk of default as at the date of initial recognition. The Group considers
there has been a significant increase in credit risk when there are changes in
contractual terms or delay in payment. Regardless of the assessment, a significant
increase in credit risk is presumed if a receivable is more than 30 days past due in
making a contractual payment.

The Group uses 3 categories to reflect their credit risk and how the loss allowance
is determined for each category:-

Category Definition of Category Loss Allowance

Performing: Receivables have a low risk of 12-months


default and a strong capacity to expected credit
meet contractual cash flows losses

Underperforming: Receivables for which there is a Lifetime expected


significant increase in credit risk credit losses

Not performing: There is evidence indicating the Lifetime expected


receivable is credit impaired more credit losses
than 90 days past due

The Group measures the expected credit losses of receivables having significant
balances, receivables that are credit impaired and receivables with a high risk of
default on individual basis. Other receivables are grouped based on shared credit
risk characteristics and assessed on collective basis.

Loss allowance is measured on either 12-month expected credit losses or lifetime


expected credit losses, by considering the likelihood that the receivable would not
be able to repay during the contractual period (probably of default, PD), the
percentage of contractual cash flows that will not be collected if default happens
(loss given default, LGD) and the outstanding amount that is exposed to default risk
(exposure at default, EAD).

Other Receivables and Amount Owing by Related Parties (Cont’d)

In deriving the PD and LGD, the Group considers the receivable’s past payment
status and its financial condition as at reporting date. The PD is adjusted to reflect
current and forward-looking information on macroeconomic factors affecting the
ability of the receivable to settle its debts.

There are no significant changes in the estimation techniques and assumptions as


compared to the previous financial year.

The movements in the loss allowances in respect of other receivables and related
parties are disclosed in Notes 12 and 13 to the financial statements.

Fixed Deposits with Licensed Banks, Cash and Bank Balances

The Group considers the licensed banks have low credit risks. In addition, some of
the bank balances are insured by Government agencies. Therefore, the Group is
of the view that the loss allowance is immaterial and hence, it is not provided for.

(c) Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk arises mainly from general funding and business activities. The Group
practises prudent risk management by maintaining sufficient cash balances and the
availability of funding through certain committed credit facilities.

market interest rates for similar instruments at the end of the reporting period. The interest

namely Dato’ Seri Lim Yeong Seong, Chin Jiunn Shyong, Dato’ Sri Dr. Mohd Nizom Bin Sairi and Dato’ Che Nazli Binti
Jaapar (collectively referred to as “Retiring Directors”). The Nomination Committee concluded that the Retiring

integrity, competence and time commitment to effectively discharge their roles as Directors;
(ii) met the fit and proper criteria pursuant to the Directors’ Fit and Proper Policy adopted; and

convertible securities to be issued by the Company pursuant to the said Ordinary Resolution 8.

subject always to the Act, the Listing Requirements and this Constitution, the Directors have the right to:
(a) Issue and allot shares in the Company; and
(b) grant rights to subscribe for shares or options over unissued shares in the Company.
If, by conditions of allotment of any shares, the whole or part of the amount or issue price thereof shall be payable by
instalments, every such instalment shall, when due, be paid to the Company by the person who for the time being and
from time to time shall be the registered holder of the share or his legal personal representative but this provision shall not
affect the liability of any allotee who may have agreed to pay the same.”
