Mah Sing enters Fortune Southeast Asia 500 list second time

KUALA LUMPUR: Mah Sing Group Bhd has once again been named to the Fortune Southeast Asia 500 list, which recognises the region's largest companies by revenue for the 2024 fiscal year.
This marks the second consecutive year the home-grown property developer has earned the accolade, a testament to its sustained regional impact and strong performance in delivering sustainable growth, operational excellence, and customer-focused projects.
For the financial year ended Dec 31, 2024 (FY2024), Mah Sing recorded RM2.52 billion in revenue, demonstrating its resilience amid market challenges through disciplined execution, efficient operations, and strategic product offerings.
In the first five months of 2025, the group achieved RM1.01 billion in new property sales, up from RM992 million during the same period last year. The growth is largely attributed to continued strong demand for its M Series affordable homes, which are known for practical designs, competitive pricing, and strategic locations.
As a home-grown developer, Mah Sing is committed to building homes that meet the needs of Malaysians while continuing to grow sustainably, said the group's founder and group managing director Tan Sri Leong Hoy Kum.
Mah Sing has nearly 65 projects across Malaysia and plans to launch over RM3.3 billion worth of new developments in 2025.
The group has also maintained a 4-star rating in the Bursa Malaysia ESG Star Rating, ranking it among just six property developers with this recognition.
Additionally, it is one of only four listed developers to be included in both the FTSE4Good Bursa Malaysia Index and the FTSE4Good Bursa Malaysia Shariah Index, reinforcing its position as a leader in ESG practices.

Malaysia's data centres unlikely affected by Nvidia chips uproar

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia's fast-growing data centre industry remains on track despite reports that Chinese firms may be using servers with Nvidia chips in the country to train AI models, MIDF Research said. The firm said the chips are likely older versions, and not the latest GB200 chips restricted by the US for export to China. It added that data centre projects are continuing without delay, with contractors still actively bidding. Recent developments include Gamuda selling land in Port Dickson, Negri Sembilan to Google-linked Pearl Computing and winning a RM1.01 billion contract for data centre works. Sunway Construction secured a RM1.16 billion job from a US tech firm, while Microsoft reaffirmed a RM10.5 billion investment in artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud infrastructure in the Klang Valley. MIDF Research pointed out that not all data centres in Malaysia are built for AI, although many are AI-ready. For instance, YTL Power allocated only 100 megawatt (MW) for AI use at its 500MW facility in Kulai, Johor. Investment, Trade and Industry Ministry is looking into claims that a Chinese firm is using Nvidia-powered servers in Malaysia to bypass US chip export restrictions, as reported by the Wall Street Journal. The ministry said the servers involved are not classified as controlled items under Malaysia's Strategic Trade Act 2010, and local data centres are free to operate if they comply with local laws. However, it stressed that any attempts to circumvent trade controls or engage in illegal activities will not be tolerated. The ministry also reaffirmed Malaysia's adherence to global trade rules and urged companies to comply with export controls in international dealings to avoid secondary sanctions. Amid rising US-China tech tensions, Malaysia aims to remain neutral but is still pushing ahead with plans to become a key AI hub in Southeast Asia, as outlined by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim. AI development depends heavily on powerful chips and large-scale data centres. Malaysia's data centre market is expected to grow from US$4.04 billion (RM17.2 billion) in 2024 to US$13.57 billion (RM57.8 billion) by 2030, according to the Malaysian Investment Development Authority.

OM Holdings secures spot on Fortune Southeast Asia 500 list for second year

The company's flagship smelting facility in Sarawak remains one of the largest and most cost-efficient in the region outside China, supporting its competitive edge. KUALA LUMPUR (June 19): OM Holdings Limited (OMH), an international manganese and silicon smelting group, has once again made it onto the Fortune Southeast Asia 500 list, ranking 378th this year. This marks the second consecutive year the company has been included in the prestigious list, which recognises the top-performing companies in the region based on annual revenue. 'The company's continued inclusion on the Fortune Southeast Asia 500 list is a strong validation of its scale, resilience and sustained operating and financial performance, amid a period of elevated market volatility since 2024,' it said in a statement on Tuesday. OMH executive chairman and CEO Low Ngee Tong said the recognition affirms the consistency of the company's strategy and operational discipline, particularly during a year where the ferroalloy markets experienced significant pricing swings and cost pressures. 'In 2024, we operated in an environment marked by sharp manganese alloy price movements, regulatory shifts in China impacting ferrosilicon trade, and broader macroeconomic headwinds. Through it all, our team remained focused on cost control, procurement discipline, and production optimisation. 'These efforts enabled us to deliver record production volumes, remain profitable, and continue creating long-term shareholder value,' he said. For the financial year ended Dec 31, 2024, the group recorded revenue of US$654.3 million, an increase of 11 per cent from the previous year. It sold over 500,000 tonnes of ferrosilicon and silicomanganese. Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) came in at US$76.0 million, with net profit after tax at US$9.7 million. OMH also declared a final dividend of A$0.004 per share. The company's flagship smelting facility in Sarawak remains one of the largest and most cost-efficient in the region outside China, supporting its competitive edge. OMH also maintains a trading and marketing presence in Singapore, Japan, and China, and owns a manganese asset in Australia targeted for ultra-fines processing.
