on 25 April 2016, Protasco Berhad has been ranked by RHBInvestment Bank as among the top five small cap stocks in its 2016edition of Top Malaysia Small Cap Companies.
The recognition was based on its growing businesses, especially in road maintenance, which has accumulated a RM769 millionorderbook.
Protasco’s road maintenance contracts and concession agreements means the division is a growing cash cow, contributing 58 per cent of Group earnings. This and its healthy construction order book, together with long-term engineering and consultancy agreements is expected to drive the Group’s near-term earnings growth, as cited by RHB Investment Bank.
Protasco’s De Centrum City in Kajang, that has a target grossdevelopment value (GDV) of RM10 billion over the duration of 20-25 years, is also a gem in the organisation.

the animals as well as preparing food and feeding them. In doing so, they were allowed into the other side of the fences amongst the tigers, lions, elephants, giraffes,zebras, monkeys, tapirs and reptiles to name a few.
It was indeed a tiring day but a wonderful experience for our volunteers as they got close to the animals. A few hours of assisting the Zoo Keepers and seeing the efforts made by Zoo Negara to ensure the wellbeing of the animals have given our volunteers a sense of appreciation and awareness of the issues and what we could do tocontribute towards making positive improvement.
