Dato’ Sri Ir Chong Ket Pen
Dear Champions,
Protasco Berhad had its 15th Annual

challenging business environments, it was
a plausibly good year. For the financial
year ending 31 December 2015, Protasco
Group recorded a turnover of RM1.29
billion, an increase of 21.5% compared to
the Financial Year ending 31 December
2014. This is the second year in a row that
the Group’s revenue surpassed the RM1
billion mark.
During the year, the Group was also
successful in securing jobs valued
at more than RM500 million. HCM

Letter of Award for the main civil and
infrastructure works to connect the road
between Old Klang Road to New Pantai
Expressway and was also awarded
by Jabatan Kerja Raya to undertake
maintenance works on Federal Roads in
Zone 2A, Sarawak, Malaysia. HCM is also
designing and building a 4-storey office
complex with basement carpark for the
Asean Football Confederation at Bukit
Jalil in Kuala Lumpur.
The first quarter of 2016 saw Protasco
Berhad maintaining its net profit
at RM13.4 million compared to the
corresponding quarter at RM13.1 million.
Protasco also received a 10-year
renewal for the Federal Roads
Maintenance contract in Peninsular
Malaysia in mid February 2016. In April
2016 Protasco Berhad was recognised
by RHB Investment Bank as one of the
Top 5 Small Capital companies to take
notice of in Malaysia. Protasco Berhad
is highlighted in their publication, 25
Jewels 2016 Edition, TOP MALAYSIA SMALL
CAP COMPANIES. In June 2016, Protasco
Berhad was selected by MIDF research
in MIDF CONSTRUCTION TOP PICKS, at
par with the other construction sector’s
heavyweights.
We are proud of the continued trust
given to us by our partners. This trust
should not be forsaken by any of us and
therefore all Protasco Champions must
continue to uphold Protasco Berhad’s
ROCKIT values to facilitate in our mission
to be an internationally acclaimed
conglomerate.

RHB Investment bank Ranks Protasco Among Top Five Small Cap Companies
On 25 April 2016, Protasco Berhad has been ranked by RHB
Investment Bank as among the top five small cap stocks in its 2016
edition of Top Malaysia Small Cap Companies.
The recognition was based on its growing businesses, especially in
road maintenance, which has accumulated a RM769 million
orderbook.
Protasco’s road maintenance contracts and concession agreements
means the division is a growing cash cow, contributing 58 per cent of
Group earnings. This and its healthy construction order book, together
with long-term engineering and consultancy agreements is expected
to drive the Group’s near-term earnings growth, as cited by RHB
Investment Bank.
Protasco’s De Centrum City in Kajang, that has a target gross
development value (GDV) of RM10 billion over the duration of 20-25
years, is also a gem in the organisation.

significance of crises, the role of the
CEO and the role of the PRO in
coming up with better ideas that the
management team could use in
managing crisis. In a crisis, the
organisation bears the full brunt in
managing it.
The first of the series of public lectures
organised by the Faculty of Arts,

held on 19 August 2015. This lecture
was delivered by former Rector of

The public lecture sees Dato’ Sri Prof

the PRO to lead in managing the
crisis.
On the day of the public lecture,
almost 100 participants turned up.
The participants were students and
lecturers from IUKL and many were

In wrapping up the lecture, Dato’ Sri
Prof Dr Syed Arabi Idid asserted that
“... there is a need to maintain positive
perceptions in the minds of the
stakeholders. Maintaining the
reputation of an organisation
ultimately might be the most
important function of public
relations”. That is when the CEO looks
at the PRO and acknowledges that a
crisis has been properly handled by
the organisation that he manages.
The session ended with the
opportunity for all participants to
have a quick chat with Dato’ Sri Prof
Dr Syed Arabi Idid and a group photo.

to carry out a feasibility study on the
potentials of infrastructure training
courses as continuing professional
development and lifelong learning
for professional engineers and
technicians in Malaysia and South

upsurge of infrastructure
development to South Asian
countries due to Asian Infrastructure
Investment Bank, ‘One Belt One

Bank, the findings of the feasibility
study will confirm that the provision
of continuing professional
development courses and lifelong
learning in infrastructure will not
only fulfil a niche in serving the
national, regional and
developing world in achieving the
United Nation’s Sustainable
Development Goals by 2030, but
also be profitable for IUKL.

the animals as well as preparing food and feeding them.
In doing so, they were allowed into the other side of the
fences amongst the tigers, lions, elephants, giraffes,
zebras, monkeys, tapirs and reptiles to name a few.
It was indeed a tiring day but a wonderful experience for
our volunteers as they got close to the animals. A few hours
of assisting the Zoo Keepers and seeing the efforts made
by Zoo Negara to ensure the wellbeing of the animals
have given our volunteers a sense of appreciation and
awareness of the issues and what we could do to
contribute towards making positive improvement.
