Of the actives, Iconic Worldwide and JAG were one sen higher at 38.5 sen and 39 sen, respectively, Malaysian Bulk Carrier advanced 1.5 sen to 61.5 sen, YBS International bagged three sen to 61 sen, Kejuruteraan Asastera edged up half-a-sen to 34.5 sen, while Tanco was flat at 27 sen and NWP declined 1.5 sen to 34 sen.
