Division recorded a PBT of RM30.32 million in 1Q15, +145% yoy. . The Cement
Division reported a PBT of RM29.37 million for 1Q15, exceeding 1Q15's PBT by
44%. The Construction & Road Maintenance Division posted a PBT of RM26.22
million which included the share of profit of joint ventures in 1Q15,
representing an increase of 47% over 1Q14's profit of RM17.86 million. The
