Saliran held its first annual general M

"We are grateful to our shareholders for their continued trust and support during this important chapter of our corporate journey.

Elridge Energy scales up regional biomass supply chain as FY2025 momentum solidifies
BIOENERGY-based Elridge Energy Holdings Bhd has kickstarted its FY2025 ending Dec 31, 2025 on a strong footing by building on the momentum from its successful listing on the ACE Market on Aug 22 last year. With rising global demand for sustainable fuel solutions, the group remains committed to scaling its manufacturing footprint, expanding capacity and strengthening its presence across the regional biomass supply chain, according to its executive director and CEO Oliver Yeo. 'Moving forward, we remain focused on disciplined growth, operational scalability and ESG (environmental, social and governance) integration,' he told shareholders at Elridge Energy's inaugural annual general meeting (AGM) in Kuala Lumpur today (June 23). 'With strong industry fundamentals and a clear roadmap, the group is confident of sustaining its upward trajectory in the biomass and renewable energy space.' The group has posted net profit of RM13.58 mil on the back of a revenue of RM109.67 mil for its 1Q FY2025 ended March 31, 2025 primarily driven by demand from Japan, Indonesia, and Malaysia. Palm Kernel Shells (PKS) remained the cornerstone of the group's operations by contributing RM95.81 mil or 87.36% of Elridge Energy's 1Q FY2025 revenue while RM13.87 mil or 12.64% was generated from wood pellets. To support this growth strategy, Elridge Energy is investing RM68.14 mi from its IPO (initial public offering) proceeds to develop new PKS production facilities in Kuantan (Pahang), Pasir Gudang (Johor) and Lahad Datu (Sabah). Each facility is designed to house two PKS production lines with a combined annual capacity of 240,000 metric tonnes respectively, thus resulting in total additional capacity of 720,000 metric tonnes annually. All sites are on track for completion by the group's FY2026. As a whole, its gross profit improved to RM81.66 mil from RM45.97 mil while the group's net profit surged to RM41.17 mil from RM23.56 mil. Again, the improved results reflect robust demand for biomass fuel products and continued operational efficiency gains. PKS contributed 85.16% of Elridge Energy's total revenue for FY2024 while the trading and manufacturing of wood pellets accounted for the remaining 14.84%. While no dividends were declared for FY2024, its board has expressed its intention to reward shareholders in the future, subject to the group's financial performance, capital requirements and prevailing market conditions. All 13 resolutions tabled at Elridge Energy's AGM were duly approved by shareholders. These included the re-election of all seven directors who retired under the company's constitution, the approval of directors' fees and benefits for the current and upcoming financial periods, the re-appointment of HLB Ler Lum Chew as external auditors, and the general mandate for authority to issue shares according to the Companies Act 2016. At the close of today's (June 23) trading, Elridge Energy was unchanged at 59.5 sen with 787,100 shares traded, thus valuing the company at RM1.19 bil. – June 23, 2025

Armizan on SIS name registration
Published on: Monday, June 23, 2025 Published on: Mon, Jun 23, 2025 By: Jonathan Nicholas Text Size: Armizan chats with a group representative during the handover ceremony. Kota Kinabalu: Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Minister Datuk Armizan Mohd Ali has clarified that the name 'Sisters in Islam' is not officially used in the registration of SIS Forum Malaysia, a company limited by guarantee (CLBG) registered under the Companies Act 2016. Commenting on the recent Federal Court decision involving Sisters in Islam (SIS) and the 2014 Selangor fatwa that labelled beliefs in liberalism and religious pluralism as deviant from Islamic teachings, Armizan said the group was registered in 1993 under the name SIS Forum (Malaysia), not Sisters in Islam. 'The registration does not include the word 'Islam' and is therefore not subject to the specific naming restrictions under the Companies Act. 'Under existing guidelines, words like 'Islam' are considered sensitive and applications to use such terms must be referred to relevant authorities, such as Jakim,' he said. He explained that in SIS Forum's case, since the word 'Islam' was not part of the legal entity's name, the Companies Commission of Malaysia (SSM) did not seek Jakim's views during registration. 'Our jurisdiction is limited to compliance with the Companies Act. Since the name used is SIS Forum Malaysia, there was no basis to trigger referral protocols,' he said. Advertisement The Federal Court ruling on June 19 partially invalidated the Selangor fatwa, stating that it could not be applied to SIS as a legal entity, though individuals within or associated with the group who hold certain beliefs may still fall under the fatwa's scope. Armizan was met during the launch of the Business Digitalisation Programme 2025 (PPP25) at UMS on Saturday. The initiative carried out by the Companies Commission of Malaysia (SSM) aims to help B40 entrepreneurs and aspiring business owners embrace digital tools for growth and market expansion. The Sabah leg marks the first of three in the series for the year, with Penang and Terengganu to follow. The initiative highlights the use of social media and e-commerce to boost operational efficiency, productivity, and product quality. During the programme, SSM also distributed RM107,518 in corporate zakat and RM45,000 in CSR aid to underprivileged groups in Sabah. Meanwhile, SSM statistics show that 77,546 companies and 1,676 LLPs have been registered in Sabah as of 31 May 2025, with over 31,000 active entities. In Kota Kinabalu alone, 39,525 companies and 1,118 LLPs were incorporated, with 16,000 actively operating. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?

SIS did not use ‘Islam' in company registration, says minister
Armizan (third right) presenting an SSM CSR contribution to one of the recipients. KOTA KINABALU (June 21): A check has confirmed that women's rights group Sisters in Islam (SIS) did not use the word 'Islam' in its official company registration, said Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Minister Datuk Armizan Mohd Ali. Armizan said the organisation was registered in 1993 as a Company Limited by Guarantee (CLBG) under the name SIS Forum (Malaysia) in accordance with the Companies Act 2016. He explained that under the Act, the word 'Islam' is considered a controlled term. Any company wishing to use it must seek clearance from the Department of Islamic Development Malaysia (Jakim). 'From Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Ministry's jurisdiction, specifically through the Companies Commission of Malaysia (SSM), the registered name was SIS Forum (Malaysia) and did not include the word 'Islam'. Therefore, we did not refer the matter to Jakim,' he said at a press conference after launching the Sabah-level 2025 Digital Business Programme at Universiti Malaysia Sabah on Saturday. Armizan also disclosed that a total of 77,546 companies have been incorporated and 1,676 Limited Liability Partnerships (LLPs) registered across Sabah to date. He said the figures were based on Companies Commission of Malaysia (SSM) statistics as of May 31 this year. 'This total does not include companies registered under the state's own legal framework, namely the Trade Licencing Ordinance 1948. Of the overall total, 31,110 companies and 1,510 LLPs are currently active. 'In Kota Kinabalu alone, 39,525 companies have been incorporated and 1,118 LLPs registered during the same period, of which 15,331 companies and 1,003 LLPs are active,' he said. He said PPP25 is a new initiative by SSM aimed at supporting the business development agenda for B40 entrepreneurs and aspiring business owners through digitalisation. 'The main focus is to provide participants with exposure to the benefits and importance of digitalisation in expanding markets, enhancing productivity, and improving product quality. 'The use of digital technology such as media and e-commerce platforms not only increases operational efficiency but also opens up wider market access, both locally and internationally,' he added. The Sabah programme marks the first of three PPP25 series planned for this year, with the remaining two to be held in Penang and Terengganu. During the event, SSM also presented Corporate Zakat Wakalah (WZK) contributions worth RM107,518 and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) donations totaling RM45,000 to underprivileged recipients.
