Fiamma Holdings Bhd has entered into a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Hong-Kong-based Modena Global Ltd to look into importing and distributing Modena’s household electrical products in Malaysia and Singapore. The home and kitchen electrical appliances company said the MOU is also to facilitate Modena to manufacture products under the original equipment manufacturer's brand.

UEM Sunrise Bhd has confirmed that it is buying a 3.7-hectare freehold land in Kelana Jaya adjacent to the Damansara-Puchong Expressway (LDP) from the Employees Provident Fund (EPF) for RM155 million, expected to be completed in the first half of 2024. The group said its wholly-owned subsidiary Sunrise Innovations Sdn Bhd has inked a sale and purchase agreement with Kwasa Properties Sdn Bhd, a wholly-owned subsidiary of EPF, to acquire the land. UEM Sunrise's development is estimated at a total gross development value (GDV) of RM1.1 billion and targeted to be launched in 2025.

Johor Corporation Group (JCorp) said its profit after tax more than doubled to RM808 million for the financial year ended Dec 31, 2022 (FY2022), from RM379 million a year earlier, on the back of strong performance across its business segments. Revenue rose 12% to RM5.7 billion, with the agribusiness segment’s revenue reaching RM1.85 billion, a 13% increase compared with FY2021, as a result of high crude palm oil and palm kernel prices. The wellness and healthcare segment saw revenue increase by 13%, thanks to an uptick in inpatient activity, which grew by 50%, and outpatient activity, which grew by 19%, as well as improved medical tourism revenue. However, its food and restaurants segment recorded an RM31 million loss primarily due to ongoing restructuring of the segment aimed at streamlining operations.
