DESTINI +2.27% RM0.675 - Destini Bhd's wholly-owned unit, Destini Aviation Sdn Bhd (DASB), and Avia Technique Ltd, a company incorporated in England, have established a new joint-venture company (JVCO). Destini said both companies, which signed a joint venture agreement yesterday, agreed to each hold a 50.0% stake in the JVCO. Destini said the JVCO will, among others, carry on the business of provision of inspection, repair and overhaul services of aircraft components. With vast experience in the defence aviation maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) on safety and survival equipment, Destini said, it was positioning itself to expand its services into the commercial aviation sector.
 
5) MRCB : announced that it had today accepted the award of contract for the construction of a Conference Centre, Desa Desaru and Westin Desaru Resort at Desaru Coast for a total contract price of RM485 million from Destination Resorts and Hotel ("DRH"). DRH was established in 2010 by the Malaysian Government's investment arm, Khazanah Nasional Berhad. It is the strategic owner and developer of Desaru Coast, a world class premier travel destination within the region which is located on Johor East Coast. On 18 June 2015, DRH through its subsidiary companies had awarded the 3 construction projects to MRCB on the following terms - Conference Centre (RM61.4m), Desa Desaru ( RM212m & Westin Desaru Resort ( RM211.6m). The construction period of the above projects is between 19 to 21 months from the date of site possession of 25 June 2015; +ve, projects are expected to contribute positively to the future earnings of MRCB Group. We remain cautious on the company's short-term prospects, given its high exposure to the presently unfavourable highend high-rise residential segment. Earnings in the coming quarters should be driven by the RM1.8bn of unbilled property sales and a pick-up in progress billings for its RM1.1bn outstanding order book.- Down side limited at these levels BOW.
 
6)  Market : Although technical indicators are reversing from oversold territory, they remain neutral and could see the KLCI test the 1750pts on 1H closing momentum.
