Source of Expertise
The principle source of the experience and expertise available to the Company emerges from the ultimate controlling shareholder of the Company which is Equatorex Sdn Bhd, a special purpose Malaysian based investment entity of the Halim Rasip Holdings Group ("HRH") founded in 1976. HRH began as a mining operation but later diversified into the Oil and Gas sector and in the capacity of promoter/developer/manager undertook the conceptualization, business planning, construction oversight and management of all the processes to design, finance and construct and establish the organization to operate and manage two new ports in Lumut, Perak, Malaysia. The first, Lumut Maritime Terminal commenced operations in 1995 and the second, Lekir Bulk terminal, in 2002. HRH has since disposed of its interest in these ports in 2011. For your information some details of these ports are set hereafter.

Consequent to the in-principle indicative approval of the State Government of Perak of the Lekir Coastal Development Project (“Lekir Coastal Project”) in 1996, two companies were formed by HRH to promote, develop and implement the Lekir Coastal Project, which comprised two related developments:
1. Desa Kilat Sdn. Bhd. (“DKSB”)
