MALAYSIAN COMPANY`S SUBSIDIARY GETS US$2.8 MLN UAE CONTRACT

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 20 (Bernama) -- Malaysian company Radicare (M) Sdn Bhd has
expanded its Middle East venture when its subsidiary, Modern Technology Limited
(MT), secured a contract worth more than RM10 million (US$2.8 million) from the
United Arab Emirates (UAE) government.

The three-year contract was awarded through the UAE's Health Ministry,
covering two hospitals and 10 prime healthcare centres situated in the Dubai
Medical District, the company said.

The contract began this month, it said in a statement Thursday.

"We are very pleased that the UAE government has expressed its trust and
confidence in Radicare's capabilities and level of services through this second
contract," said chairman Abdul Latif Abdullah.

Radicare's first venture into the Middle East market started in 2008 when MT
was appointed to maintain the facilities of the Ras Al Khaimah Medical Zone.

In the private healthcare sector, MT is currently managing the biomedical
engineering maintenance services for eight healthcare centres under the Prime
Medical Group in Dubai and the Conceive Hospital in Sharjah.

Radicare is a member of the Realmild group of companies, offering integrated
facilities management to government hospitals through provision of hospital
support services.
