KUALA LUMPUR (Dec 2): Mudajaya Group Bhd has secured an RM810 million job to construct the Ayer Itam-Lebuhraya Tun Dr Lim Chong Eu by-pass in Penang, from Consortium Zenith BUCG Sdn Bhd.

The contract was secured via its wholly-owned subsidiary Mudajaya Corp Bhd, Mudajaya said in a bourse filing today.

The project is slated to be completed in 36 months from the date of site possession, which is expected to be in the second half of 2017.

The job will be paid via milestone payments according to work done, it said, and the details of the deal will be finalised in three to six months.

"The project is expected to contribute positively to the group's earnings and net assets from financial year 2017 and onwards," the group stated.

Mudajaya's shares settled unchanged at 77 sen today, valuing the group at RM414.57 million.

Greg Shaw left Ardent and join Mulpha as new CEO...looks like Mulpha has potential to turnaround wth Greg Shaw new leadership

Ardent Leisure has been thumped by investors after the entertainment group replaced its chief executive on last night, with the stock plunging the most on record in early trade.

Ardent Leisure Group chief executive Greg Shaw announced his retirement after close to 13 years in the role on Tuesday evening, to be succeeded by former magazine editor Deborah Thomas.

Mr Shaw, who will stand down as CEO at the end of fiscal 2015, resigned immediately as a director of Ardent Leisure -- operator of Dreamworld and WhiteWater World.

At the opening of trade on Wednesday, the group's stock crashed 28 per cent -- the biggest fall on record for the company. By 4.15pm (AEDT) Ardent shares had recovered some ground, but remained down 19.14 per cent at $1.965, against a fall in the benchmark index of only 0.53 per cent.

IG markets analyst Evan Lucas says the market has been taken aback by the surprise announcement.

"Greg Shaw stepping down for Deborah Thomas has come out of the blue. It was not expected at all," Mr Lucas said.

"There have also been issues about Ardent Leisure's growth and right now is not the right time to do a strategic review."

He said the news also coincided with a weak trading day as the wider market reacts to fears of an interest rate hike in the US.

Ardent Leisure released a statement to the ASX this morning noting the sharp drop in the share price.

The company said it held a conference call on Wednesday at 9.30am between the group's executives, investors and analysts, but said no additional information was disclosed to conference call participants beyond what the group had announced on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, Ardent also flagged a future “increasingly focused” on chasing organic revenue and profit growth through customer entertainment and leisure experiences under Ms Thomas, a decade-long editor of The Australian Women’s Weekly, with broad experience in advertising and brand development.

Ms Thomas will start working with the group in an executive position from April, after commencing as a non-executive director in December 2013.

“The board of directors would like to thank Greg for his exceptional leadership and commitment to the Group during his tenure and for establishing the building blocks for the group’s future success,” chairman Neil Balnaves said.

Mr Shaw has led Ardent Leisure since 2002, when the business existed as Macquarie Leisure Trust Group.

KUALA LUMPUR: Bayaran gaji RM1,900 seminggu satu-satunya motivasi kepada wanita muda, Maslina Masud terus bekerja di ladang memetik buah walaupun ia bukan pilihanya.

Maslina, 30, salah seorang daripada beribu-ribu rakyat Malaysia yang mengambil keputusan untuk berhijrah ke luar negara dan mendirikan kehidupan baharu.

Wanita yang memilih Australia dan menjejakkan kaki di Melbourne pada Januari 2014 tidak menyangka terpaksa menerima hakikat untuk bekerja di sebuah ladang buah-buahan.

Dari bilik hawa dingin ke semak ladang

Terbentang luas kira-kira seribu ekar, ladang Mildura yang terletak 7 jam perjalanan dari bandar Melbourne, inilah satu-satunya pilihan buat Maslina sementara menerima jawapan bagi semua permohonan kerjanya di bandar.

Dia akur dengan nasib diri selepas suaminya pula terpaksa menyambung pengajian ekoran pasangan ini menggunakan visa pelajar untuk ke negara itu.

Namun, pendapatan yang dijanjikan untuk memetik pelbagai jenis buah, oren, anggur, strawberi dan kiwi iaitu kira-kira AUD$15 hingga AUD$20 sejam memberi dia keyakinan sekurang-kurangnya untuk menyara hidup.

Hidup selesa dan mengusakan sebuah agensi pelancongannya sendiri di ibu kota, anak kelahiran Kuala Lumpur ini akui terkejut apabila mendapati kebanyakan pekerja di ladang Mildura itu adalah rakyat Malaysia.

“Ramai golongan profesional seperti jurutera, pegawai bank malah peguam meninggalkan Malaysia untuk mencuba pengalaman baru ini.

“Ladang Mildura adalah pusat buah-buahan untuk dieksport dan hampir kebanyakan orang yang saya temui adalah rakyat Malaysia. Selain pengalaman memetik buah, saya akhirnya dapat melepaskan rindu kampung bertemu mereka,” kata Maslina.

“Berbeza dengan kehidupan di Malaysia di mana saya bekerja di pejabat, dalam bilik berpenghawa dingin, duduk di kerusi empuk dan memiliki pembantu untuk menyiapkan segalanya, di sini, saya terpaksa kerja di bawah matahari, dalam semak, di lapangan terbuka. Tiada apa yang ‘mewah’ kecuali ketenangan dan kecantikan alam semula jadi serta buah-buahan ini.

“Tetapi lebih penting, di sini saya belajar erti kesusahan. Ia satu pengalaman luar biasa dan perasaan ketika memetik buah-buahan amat berbeza. Keberadaan rakan Malaysia juga menghiburkan apabila kami kadang-kala menyanyikan lagu ‘rock kapak’ beramai-ramai untuk menghilangkan rasa rindu ,” katanya sambil tersenyum.


Belum berhasrat balik Malaysia

Ditanya penerimaan keluarga dan berapa lama dia bercadang untuk berada di kota kangaroo, Maslina berkata, keluarganya tidak menyangka keputusannya itu serius.

Jelasnya mereka anggap Maslina dan suami hanya bergurau sehinggalah melihat tindakan sebenar mereka.

“Malah, buat masa ini, saya dan suami juga tidak berhasrat untuk kembali ke Malaysia.

“Bukan saya tidak patriotik atau tidak bangga menjadi anak Malaysia, namun faktor ketegangan politik di negara ini punca ramai belia ambil keputusan berhijrah. Kami mahu membina hidup baharu di sini,” katanya.

Walaupun syukur dapat bekerja di ladang, lebih-lebih lagi dengan gaji lumayan berbanding di Malaysia, Maslina tidak pernah berhenti berdoa dan meletakkan harapan agar mendapat panggilan temuduga dari bandar.

“Benar, rezeki Allah itu luas. Saya tidak pernah berhenti berdoa agar mendapat kerja di bandar kerana kami terpaksa berulang-alik demi suami yang perlu menghadiri kuliah setiap Ahad memadangkan kami berhijrah menggunakan visa pelajar.

Akhirnya, doa Maslina terjawab apabila dia menerima panggilan temuduga dari sebuah kolej swasta di Melbourne.

Gaji RM2,500 seminggu

“Genap 3 bulan bekerja di Mildura, saya menerima panggilan temuduga dari sebuah kolej swasta di Melbourne. Memang senyum saya tidak berhenti sepanjang berada di dalam bas ketika menuju ke bandar,” katanya berkongsi pengalamannya itu.

Sebaik diterima bekerja, Maslina menganggap percaturannya membuat keputusan berhijrah akhirnya membuahkan hasil, ditambah pula dengan gajinya yang lebih lumayan iaitu kira-kira RM2,500 seminggu.

“Apapun, saya tetap merindui beberapa teman rapat Malaysia di ladang. Syukur kepada Allah mempermudahkan segalanya walaupun pada mulanya agak sukar bagi saya dan suami mendapat kerja.

“Kini saya berkhidmat sebagai eksekutif pemasaran di Kolej PAX, Melbourne dan setiap kali saya ternampak buah kiwi atau oren, saya pasti tersenyum sendiri,” katanya.

Dia yang akui seronok membina kerjaya di Australia berkata kota Melbourne sebagai bandar pilihan yang berbaloi untuk meneruskan hidup.

“Masyarakat di sini baik. Kos hidup tinggi tetapi dengan gaji yang diterima, semuanya boleh diusahakan. Kadar jenayah juga kurang. Kalau rindu makanan Malaysia, di sini juga ada restoran yang menjual hidangan Malaysia. Jadi tiada masalah bagi kami,” katanya yang sudah setahun lebih berada di Melbourne.

Maslina menasihatkan anak muda yang mengambil keputusan berhijrah ke luar negara supaya tidak takut berdepan cabaran dan terus berusaha.

Myr233 Million cash buffer&, Myr196Million total liability...very solid balance sheet- i can't find any other public listed. company who can beat this record. furthermore, look forward for more water related projects going forward. many water treatment plants to be in tender in Malaysia alone.

fundamentally, this company is solid & growth potential. Both Sencorlink (security/ surveillance system) and Transeaways Shpg-Kuantan port logistics have good potential business. When deep port Kuantan ready, completed by 2018- logistics related business in Kuantan may bypass Port Klang with mining business like bauxite, gold etc. East Coast Link will seize more Port Klang logistics business further with the entry of many China GLC land development in Kuantan i/o PKG. current slowdown due to temporary ban on bauxite affect its logistics business. But, sure it will be reactivated again. Recent CEO's resignation is due to his own criminal charge in using fake degree to secure stinct in DRealty. No one can hold company for ransom.
