Peterlabs Holdings Bhd has filed a lawsuit against its non-independent non-executive director Datin Lin Ching Yein and substantial shareholder Bu Yaw Seng, amid an intensifying boardroom tussle, to block their bid to call for an extraordinary general meeting.

Genting Bhd net profit shrank to only RM4.6mn for 1QFY25 from RM588.9mn a year ago due to lower quarterly revenue, which fell 12.4% to RM6.5bon from RM7.4bn in 1QFY24.

Carlsberg Brewery Malaysia Bhd reported an 8.7% YoY lower revenue of RM662.8mn, impacted by the shorter Chinese New Year timing, but a 7.5% YoY higher net profit of RM94.5mn on for 1QFY25

A slew of new products from ice cream to butter and lower input cost lifted Farm Fresh Bhd net profit to a new record high of RM27.7mn in 4QFY25, a 15% YoY increase.
