FINANCIAL MATTERS - QUESTION 1(b)

Included in the payables was a provision for compensation of recruitment fees amounting to RM112 million. The provision was part of the Group's remediation plan for its existing and former migrant workers.

(page 50 of AIR2022)

  1. Is the RM112 million the final sum for compensation of recruitment fees to the Group's existing and former migrant workers? Or does the Group expect further compensation to be made for its migrant workers? If yes, what is the estimated provision for compensation to be made for financial year ending 2023?

ANSWER:

The total provision of RM112 million is based on industry average rate per worker for 23,700 existing and former workers. We anticipate payment for compensation and other contingencies will not exceed this amount. Hence we do not expect to make any additional provision in the financial year ending 2023.

FINANCIAL MATTERS - QUESTION 2 (a)

Impairment loss on amounts due from other related companies increased significantly to RM12.75 million (2021: RM0.14 million), while impairment loss of receivables (net) increased substantially to RM13.44 million

(2021: RM2.94 million). (pages 19 & 20 of AFS2022)

  1. What is the cause for the significant increase in impairment loss on amounts due from related companies? Which are the affected related companies? What is the probability of reversing or making further impairment losses in financial year ending 2023?

ANSWER:

The significant increase in impairment loss on the amounts due from other related companies was due to delay in payment in respect of sales of goods to subsidiaries of our ultimate holding company. Subsequent to the financial year ended 2022, partial payment has been made hence we were able to reverse part of the impairment loss in the second quarter of 2023. Further reversal or impairment will depend on the payment trend of the debtors.
