Haily Group Bhd founder and executive director See Tin Hai said the listing exercise would increase the stature of the group and enhance its reputation as the group expands its customer base in Malaysia.
“We are excited to provide an opportunity for investors and institutions to participate in our equity and continuing growth, ” he added.Since 2008, the group has completed 65 building construction projects with a total contract value of RM1.29bil.

Currently, Haily has 18 on-going building construction projects and two civil engineering related construction projects.
The ongoing projects are expected to be completed progressively between 2021 and 2023.

The group intends to distribute dividends of at least 30% of its annual profits attributable to its shareholders upon completion of the listing.
