Operating revenue rose q-o-q due to improved sales demand in

Movement Control Order (MCO), thus able to operate to deliver stronger sales
performance because food packaging film, stretch film and customised film
products produced by the Group are part of the critically required packaging
for Food and other Essential Goods.
The Group recorded a historical high for the unaudited PBT
and PAT for the quarter under review of RM11.3 million and RM8.5 million

and PAT of RM8.3 million and RM6.2 million respectively in 1Q20. The increase
in the unaudited PBT and PAT for the quarter under review were mainly due to
