KUALA LUMPUR (Nov 14): Two stocks controlled by the Chiau family, namely Signature International Bhd and Chin Hin Group Bhd, were among the top gainers on Monday (Nov 14).

It was unknown what caused the spike in these two counters amid selling in the broad market.

Chin Hin founder Datuk Seri Chiau Beng Teik is the largest shareholder of Signature International, with a 32.5% stake.

Signature International is a kitchen cabinet manufacturer, with businesses in retail, project, imported appliances, glass and aluminium, while Chin Hin’s business portfolio encompasses five core divisions, namely building materials, property development, construction, home and living, and solar energy. 

In a separate announcement on Monday, Chin Hin, in a joint effort with Solarvest’s residential solar subsidiary Vestech Energy Sdn Bhd, launched a Go Green & Clean Campaign to encourage residential solar adoption among Chin Hin’s employees.

Through the campaign, Vestech will be offering an attractive and affordable solar financing scheme, specifically tailored to each staff. The offer is applicable to approximately 2,000 employees in the initial phase. 

Notably, Chin Hin on May 17 proposed to divest a 19.34% stake in Solarvest to Divine Inventions for RM103.28 million, or 80 sen per share, resulting in a one-off disposal gain of RM35.68 million.
