Staf Boustead yang dihargai, Beberapa perkembangan positif dapat dilihat sedang berlaku dalam Kumpulan tatkala kita tiba di pertengahan tahun 2014 ini. Perkembangan paling ketara adalah apabila kita selesai melancarkan prospektus dengan jayanya dan seterusnya menyenaraikan bahagian perladangan kita iaitu Boustead Plantations Berhad di Pasaran Utama Bursa Malaysia. Dengan adanya acara korporat penting ini, kita dapat meningkatkan nilai aset perladangan dan seterusnya maju ke hadapan mengikut aliran pertumbuhan kita. Meskipun persekitaran ekonomi mencabar, kebanyakan Bahagian kita telah menyumbang secara positif kepada Kumpulan pada suku pertama tahun ini. Bahagian Perladangan telah mendahului dengan keuntungan kukuh hasil harga minyak sawit mentah yang lebih tinggi. Saya yakin Bahagian-bahagian yang lain dapat menunjukkan kemajuan pada separuh kedua tahun ini. Bakat sentiasa menjadi nadi penggerak bagi pertumbuhan Kumpulan. Sehubungan itu, baru-baru ini kita telah mengambil bahagian dalam Karnival Kerjaya Belia BN 2014, iaitu satu platform di mana lebih 400 syarikat terkemuka yang terdiri daripada Syarikat Berkaitan Kerajaan (GLC) serta firma-firma multi-nasional telah menawarkan peluang pekerjaan kepada para graduan baharu dan belia yang mencari pekerjaan. Acara ini telah berlangsung dengan jayanya dan kita akan terus mengambil langkah-langkah untuk meningkatkan lagi kumpulan bakat kita. Dalam pada itu, Kumpulan terus memberi balik kepada masyarakat seperti mengadakan kerjasama dengan Pharmaniaga melalui program Skuad Operasi Sihat 1Malaysia (SOS 1M) yang bertujuan untuk meningkatkan pendidikan dan kesedaran mengenai kesihatan di kalangan masyarakat umum. Saya gembira apabila mendapat tahu bahawa ramai staf Boustead telah menawarkan diri dengan sukarela untuk menjadi ahli skuad SOS 1M ini. Ianya bersesuaian dengan aspirasi kerajaan untuk mengalakkan semangat kesukarelawanan di kalangan rakyat Malaysia. Ketika kita memasuki separuh kedua tahun ini, saya ingin merakamkan penghargaan kepada semua staf Boustead atas komitmen teguh mereka dalam mencapai objektif-objektif kita. Marilah kita semua berusaha untuk mengukuhkan azam sambil maju ke hadapan.

Akhir kata, selamat berpuasa kepada staf Boustead yang beragama Islam.

Tan Sri Dato’ Seri Lodin Wok Kamaruddin

Dear fellow Bousteadians,

As we reach the halfway mark of 2014, there are positive developments underway for the Group. Most notably, we successfully completed the prospectus launch and subsequent listing of our plantation arm, Boustead Plantations Berhad, on the Main Market of Bursa Malaysia. With this significant corporate event, we will be able to unlock the value of our plantation assets and move forward on our growth path.

Despite the challenging economic landscape, most of our Divisions contributed positively to the Group for our first quarter. This was led by our Plantation Division, which delivered strong profits supported by higher crude palm oil prices. I am optimistic that our other Divisions will be able to improve in the latter half of 2014. Talent has always been a key growth driver for our Group. With this in mind, we recently participated in the BN Youth Job Fair 2014, a platform for over 400 established companies ranging from Government-Linked Companies to multi-national firms to offer career opportunities to fresh graduates and young job seekers. It was certainly a successful event, and we will continue to take steps to strengthen our talent pool.

Meanwhile, the Group continues to give back to the community, including collaborating with Pharmaniaga on its Skuad Operasi Sihat 1Malaysia (SOS 1M) programme, which aims to enhance health education and awareness among the general public. I am delighted to learn that many Bousteadians have volunteered as SOS 1M team members. This is also in support of the Government’s aspiration to promote volunteerism amongst Malaysians. As we push through to the second half of the year, I would like to extend my appreciation to all Bousteadians for their steadfast commitment to achieving our objectives. Let us all strive to strengthen this resolve as we move forward.

Last but not least, I would like to wish 'selamat berpuasa' to our Muslim Bousteadians.

Tan Sri Dato' Seri Lodin Wok Kamaruddin

These two systems are now widely accepted and used in Malaysia and the UCO SolidWall System is exported to overseas countries as far as South Africa. These IBS non load bearing wall systems are fast to install at site requiring lower manpower with higher quality finishing.

to a series of presentations by each of the four companies to gain better understanding of the products and services of the respective companies. The team building exercise began after lunch and ended late in the afternoon. The participants were divided into 25 teams and had to undergo a series of bonding exercises, fostering teamwork and inter-personal communication.

The second part of the team building exercise continued the following day, ending on a high point with each team painting two pieces of square canvas according to a colour guide. At the conclusion of the colouring session, the canvas pieces were mounted on a wall like a giant jigsaw puzzle to form a complete picture in line with the conference theme. Many were surprise to see how their handiwork combined with those of other teams, all come together to make a whole picture.

The conference ended on the final day with workshops and discussions on achieving closer collaboration between the four companies in the areas of production, R&D and marketing and sales.

It was not all work at the conference. At the end of the first day, participants had the opportunity to unwind and let their hair down at the conference dinner held at the hotel ballroom. The conference dinner was a time

It was a memorable conference held at the brand new The Royale Bintang Penang, a hotel built to blend the old and the new seamlessly into one truly unique hotel at the Penang World Heritage site.

Fun ‘knock off’ shopping at the ‘fake market’A trip to Shenzhen is not complete without shopping at Luohu/Lo Wu Commercial Centre. The market is five storeys high and sells a wide range of items, including imitation designer handbags, watches, clothes, toys, electronic gadgets and much more. It is a good place for shoppers to show off their bargaining skills.

Goodbye Hong Kong & ShenzhenOur final morning in Shenzhen began with breakfast at the hotel,

before we checked out and headed back to Hong Kong International Airport. It was great to have the opportunity to spend time with all our colleagues. Although it was tiring due to the tight schedules, it was an enjoyable team building trip. We would like to take this opportunity to convey our sincere thanks to the Management for this retreat, and we look forward to more exciting team building trips in the future.

Boustead Properties' Teambuilding in Hong Kong & Shenzhen (1 - 5 May 2014)

Beautiful views of the Hong Kong skyline at Victoria Harbour and The Peak

Upon our arrival at Hong Kong International Airport at 4.30 p.m.,

we were greeted by local tour guides and transferred to Hong Kong Island by coach and had our dinner at the Islamic Canteen. We made a quick stop at Victoria Bay, situated between Hong Kong Island and Kowloon Peninsula. We enjoyed spectacular views of Hong Kong’s skyline and skyscrapers, including iconic buildings such as the Bank of China and HSBC Building. After visiting Victoria Peak in the evening, we then split up into two groups, with one group visiting Madame Tussaud’s Wax Museum and the other group heading to the Sky Terrace of The Peak. There are multi-levels of shops and restaurants at the top. We reached the Sky Terrace to view the skyline of Hong Kong, enjoying the enchanting night scenery despite the freezing rain and strong winds.

Fulfilling a childhood fantasy!We started our morning with a light breakfast at Penta

Hotel, Kowloon. It was an exciting day for us as we headed over to Hong Kong Disneyland to visit the ‘Magic Kingdom.’ The rides and attractions were fun activities, and the fireworks at the end of the day were well worth the wait. The Disney parade and

After this, we checked in at the Century Plaza Hotel to freshen up and get ready for our gala dinner, called Property Nite ‘Fashionista’ 2014. The dinner was held at Zhong Fa Muslim Restaurant and started at 6.30 p.m. All staff were divided into five groups with various themes: Retro, Bollywood, Oriental Chinese, Hip Hop and the Great Gatsby. The highlight of the night was the Group Performance according to each group theme. We appointed two tour guides as the judges. It was impressive that every group was sporting and showed off their talents. Congratulations to the Retro Team for winning the Best Group Performance, followed by the Oriental Chinese Team and Hip Hop Team. There was also a lucky draw session, a special ‘Face Changes’

shows were truly unforgettable; it was like living a dream. The shopping is all fairly standard, featuring lots of great Disney characters like Mickey and Minnie Mouse, Winnie the Pooh, Buzz Lightyear and many others. We spent easily half a day exploring the rides, taking photographs and having lunch. Overall, it was an enjoyable experience - a childhood fantasy come to life!

‘The World at Your Feet’ and Property Nite ‘Fashionista’ 2014 After breakfast at the hotel, we checked

out and transferred to Shenzhen by coach. We then had our lunch at a Muslim Hotel Restaurant before proceeding to the Window of the World, a fantastic replica park in Guangdong, Shenzhen featuring vivid replicas of the world’s wonders, historical heritage sites and famous scenic

show from the Hong Kong Tourism Board and the ‘Gegar’ award. We all certainly had a blast that night.

A wonderful miniature of cultural and historical spots of ChinaOn the fourth day of our trip,

we visited another must-see place in Shenzhen, the Splendid China Folk Culture Village that features scaled down replicas of China's famed historical buildings, such as the Great Wall of China, the Forbidden City and Potala Palace, to name a few. It also has wonderful scenes and depictions of folk customs, surrounded by beautiful landscapes.

We then went to the Impression Theatre which hosted a live performance of the

Group Human Capital Man agement departmental trip to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

Boustead Holdings Berhad’s Group Human Capital Management (GHCM)

team recently took some time off from their busy schedule for a departmental trip to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam in May 2014.

The trip was organised as part of the Department’s efforts to continue to

promote and foster close working relationship between the team members and allow them to get to know each other better outside the formal office settings.

A host of interesting and fun activities were planned during the trip. These included a tour of the city where the team

visited the city’s famous historical sites and buildings such as the Opera House, City Hall, Cathedral of Notre Dame and the Central Post Office. To fully appreciate what the city had to offer, the GHCM team also took the opportunity to stroll down on foot, along the city’s famous Dong Khoi Street and admired what was left of the French colonial architecture.

The GHCM team also toured the historical Reunification Palace where the team’s knowledgeable tour guide shared with them Vietnam’s long history. Also in the team’s itinerary was a visit to the War Remnants Museum, a particularly unforgettable visit as the team learned more about the painful history and the aftermaths of the Vietnam War.

It was also an educational and informative visit for the team when they paid a visit to a local craft centre, the Phuong Nam Lacquerware Centre. A tour of the centre provided the GHCM team with a better appreciation of the skills, creativity and patience required to produce the intricate and beautiful lacquer products.

The team took the opportunity to travel to the outskirts of Ho Chi Minh City where they visited My Tho, an area in Vietnam’s Mekong Delta. From My Tho, the team enjoyed a boat ride along the Mekong River where they experienced up-close, beautiful sights of traditional stilt houses, fruit plantations and fishing villages along the river bank.

The team also had the opportunity to sample the local honey tea, tropical fruits and coconut candy produced by the locals. Another highlight of the team’s trip to the Mekong Delta was the ride on hand-rowed sampans along the natural canals.

During their stay in Ho Chi Minh City, the GHCM team also managed to squeeze in some time to experience shopping at the Ben Thanh Market, a popular local market selling a variety of products ranging from souvenirs, handicrafts, kitchenware, shoes and fabric to Vietnamese snacks and food products.

The team also took the opportunity to sample Vietnam’s delicious local coffee, locally known as ca phe su ada as well as Vietnam’s famous beef noodle, or better known as Pho.

The GHCM team's trip to Ho Chi Minh City was indeed a fun and memorable one. They left Ho Chi Minh City with an amazing experience and unforgettable memories and most importantly, the opportunity to get to know each member of the team better.
