STINGER OFFICE TO TAP REGION'S ECONOMIC GROWTH

KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 10 (Bernama) -- Stinger Electrical Fences Sdn Bhd hopes to
ride on the rising economic growth in the region with the opening of its
Asia-Pacific office in Malaysia Thursday.

In a statement, SEF said the timing was right because when the economy grew,
there would be an increase in prosperity and with it would come a corresponding
rise in crime.

Its managing director, T. Arunakirinathanm said the company would set up a
country franchise system and would seek partners to handle key markets like
China, South Korea and Indonesia.

He said the franchise would offer a great business opportunity for its area
contractors.

"Stinger will provide the publicity, branding and marketing, extensive
training and overall support and distribution," he said.

Arunakirinathanm said the company offered a variety of products which were
suitable for all sorts of residences.

SEF is an affiliate of Stinger South Africa which manufacturers its own line
of premium high security equipment.
