Yong Tai, the group intends to buy a 70% stake in Iconic Paragon Sdn Bhd to take part in a proposed development on two leasehold plots with a cumulative 1.08-acre size in Bukit Bintang, Kuala Lumpur.

BAT Malaysia, the group posted a 52.2% on-year increase in net profit for its 4QFY16, due to a restructuring income of RM131.92mil but revenue was down 20.55% on-year. The group also declared a fourth interim dividend of 77 sen per share and a special dividend of 46 sen per share.
