MALAYSIA'S RADICARE EYES MORE OPPORTUNITIES IN MIDDLE EAST

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 9 (Bernama) -- Realmild Facilities Management Sdn Bhd
through its subsidiary Radicare (M) Sdn Bhd is set to explore more opportunities
in the Middle East.

The company, which provides integrated facilities management (IFM), has
carved its name in the Asian market and is now trying to strengthen its position
in the Middle East with a project in hand in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

"The market demand for IFM in the Middle East is very encouraging and we are
looking forward to a better future there," said Realmild's general manager for
information technology and procurement, Hidaya Yahaya.

He said the Dubai project contributed about RM10 million (US$2.9
million)annually to Radicare's turnover of RM400 million (US$117.64 million).

He was speaking to reporters after a signing ceremony between Realmild and
SAS Malaysia on strategic planning and budgeting for growth.

SAS Malaysia, a business intelligence and analytical software service
provider, will help Radicare to reduce the cost of budget preparation through
automating non-productive tasks like data consolidation and re-keying data.

Hidaya said the company aimed to save 10 per cent annually from its
operational cost from the agreement with SAS Malaysia.

Realmild is an 18-year-old investment holding company of Radicare and Labuan
Shipyard. Its core operations are integrated healthcare facilities management,
heavy engineering, maintenance and supply of defence technologies, logistics and
capital development.
