Qoq, Revenue+10.6%, PAT+38%. Revenue from the Singapore segment+17% while the Malaysian segment+9%. PAT jumped due to higher volume loading plus the factors mentioned above. Ahead, group will continue to focus on escalating up the value chain & riding on the R&D initiatives in new products design & development; We continue to like the group, despite the recent share price run-up. It is currently trading at c11x FY14 PE. Downside is limited by its decent yield of c6% FY13-14.
