Building materials and petroleum products trading

performed satisfactorily with the improvement in the

construction sector. Sasco is a major distributor in Sabah

MML Division. HSOT is well supported by its principal

During the year 2000/2001, as part of the Group’s

rationalisation exercise, Hap Seng (Oil & Transport) Sdn

Bhd, which was a wholly owned subsidiary of MMB,

and Dewana Sdn Bhd which was a 70% owned

subsidiaries of Sasco Sdn Bhd and subsequently, the

entire Trading Division was rationalised under HSCB, a

listed subsidiary in the MMB stable. The disposal of the

Division which includes Sasco Sdn Bhd and all its

subsidiaries namely, Hap Seng (Oil & Transport) Sdn

Bhd and Dewana Sdn Bhd to HSCB which was

approved by the minority shareholders of both MMB

Overall, the outlook for the Trading Division in 2001/

he Strategic Development Plans of the Group

via HSCB incorporate downstream integration in

the value chain of crop production through the

production of crude palm oil, refined oils and fats and the

manufacturing of branded industrial as well as retail

packaged consumer products.

Our production reached 121,109 mt of CPO and 26,413

mt of PK from 577,849 mt of FFB. Our Palm Oil Mills are

continuously upgraded so as to improve on the extraction

rates. Our OER improved further to 20.96% from 20.31%

(which compares favourably with the National average

of 18.86%).

During the year, HSCB added to its downstream

integration by investments in Hong Kong [Lam Soon (Hong

Kong) Limited], Malaysia (Paos Holdings Berhad), and

Singapore (Aceford Food Industry Pte Ltd). The new

investments complement HSCB’s existing participation in

Lam Soon (Thailand) Public Company Limited and in Hop

Hing Holdings Limited in Hong Kong. We visualise that in

the future, these investments as well as new ones will

synergize with one another on a regional basis and will

create opportunities and expansion of manufacturing and

distribution in as well as outside the region that will add

strength and value to all the partners.
