NOTES:-


1.

A member of the Company entitled to attend and vote at the Meeting shall not be entitled to appoint more than two proxies to attend and vote in his stead. Where a member appoints two proxies, the appointments shall be invalid unless he specifies the proportions of his holdings to be represented by each proxy.

2.

A proxy may but need not be a member of the Company and if the proxy is not a member of the Company, Section 149 of the Act shall not be applicable.

3.

Where a member is an authorised nominee as defined under the Securities Industry (Central Depositories) Act, 1991 it may appoint at least one proxy in respect of each Securities Account it holds with ordinary shares of the Company standing to the credit of the said Securities Account.

4.

The instrument appointing a proxy shall be in writing under the hand of the appointer or his attorney duly authorised in writing or if such appointer is a corporation under its common seal or the hand of its attorney.

5.

All forms of proxy must be deposited at the Registered Office of the Company situated at Suite 6.1A, Level 6, Menara Pelangi, Jalan Kuning, Taman Pelangi, 80400 Johor Bahru, Johor, Malaysia not less than forty-eight (48) hours before the time appointed for holding the Meeting.

Explanatory notes on Special Business:-

1. Resolution Pursuant to Section 132D of the Companies Act, 1965
The proposed resolution No. 7, if passed, will empower the Directors to issue shares in the Company up to an amount not exceeding in total 10% of the issued share capital of the Company for such purposes as the Directors consider would be in the interest of the Company. In order to avoid any delay and costs involved in convening a general meeting, it is thus appropriate to seek shareholders' approval.

2. Resolution 8 and Resolution 9
The Proposed RSM under Ordinary Resolution 8 was intended to renew the shareholders’ mandate granted by the shareholders of the Company at an Extraordinary General Meeting of the Company held on 25 July 2003.

The Proposed SM under Ordinary Resolution 9 was intended to obtain the shareholders’ mandate for New Recurrent Related Party Transaction from the shareholders of the Company at this AGM.

The Proposed RSM and Proposed SM are to facilitate transactions in the normal course of business of the Company and its subsidiaries ("the Group") which are transacted from time to time with the specified classes of related parties, provided that they are carried out on an arm’s length basis and on the Group’s normal commercial terms and are not prejudicial to the shareholders on terms not more favourable to the related parties than those generally available to the public and are not to the detriment of the minority shareholders.
By obtaining the shareholders’ mandate on an annual basis, the necessity to convene separate general meetings from time to time to seek shareholders’ approval as and when such recurrent related party transactions occur would not arise. This would reduce substantial administrative time, inconvenience and expenses associated with the convening of such meetings, without comprising the corporate objectives of the Group or adversely affecting the business opportunities available to the Group.
