Its property division’s profit rose 62.2% to RM22 million due to recognition of profit from projects with better margins, while its investment holdings segment saw a substantial rise in profit to RM47.1 million from RM8.1 million, underpinned by improved yields and higher cropped area. Looking ahead, KLK said it expects plantation profit will improve in FY2021 in view of current buoyant CPO and PK prices.
