Gamuda has secured a RM1.71bil contract from a US multinational technology company to build a single-storey hyperscale data centre in Port Dickson, Negeri Sembilan.

Nestcon has secured a RM243mil contract to build a 57-storey serviced apartment project in George Town, Penang, with construction scheduled to begin in January 2027.

Heineken Malaysia's second-quarter net profit fell to RM50.5mil, or 16.73 sen per share, while revenue declined to RM434.7mil amid softer consumer demand and inventory normalisation.

For the first half, the brewer posted a net profit of RM155mil, or 51.30 sen per share, on revenue of RM1.1bil.

Alam Maritim's indirect unit will acquire a US$3.24mil (RM13.27mil) remotely operated vehicle to strengthen its subsea engineering business and expand its in-house ROV fleet.

For the first half, Frontken's net profit climbed nearly 40% to RM90.08mil on revenue of RM376.72mil, driven by stronger semiconductor demand and higher contributions from its Malaysian and Taiwan operations.

Kelington will invest RM120mil to build a merchant air separation unit plant in Maharashtra, India, with the facility targeted for completion by the third quarter of 2028.

Destini has secured a contract from Searah (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd to provide tubular running services for the latter's West region operations until March 29, 2031. The contract value will be determined based on release orders issued throughout the contract period.
