Dolphin International Bhd has won a RM7.2 million contract to supply construction materials for the upgrading of a train cargo terminal in Padang Besar, Perlis.

In a stock exchange filing today, the group said its wholly-owned subsidiary, Dolphin Construction Sdn Bhd, accepted the award from Syarqiah Holdings Sdn Bhd.

The job involves the supply of concrete, steel, skim coat, pipe culvert, floor tiles, building furnishing and other construction materials for upgrading the facilities of the terminal.

The contract also includes the construction of a three-storey office building, improving the train tracks, the yard container, and the entrance and exit lane for container trucks.

Bumi Armada Bhd said it has received notice on the appointment of a manager to oversee the sale and disposal of crude oil stored on its Armada Perdana floating production storage and offloading.

"The company wishes to announce that on Oct 18, 2018, the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas granted an agreed order that, among other things, provides for the consensual appointment of a Receiver/Manager in Nigeria over Erin Petroleum Nigeria Ltd (EPNL) to oversee the sale and disposal of the crude oil stored on the Armada Perdana FPSO," it said.

It said the order was obtained following the bankruptcy filing by EPNL with the subsequent conversion of the case to a liquidation proceeding.

The order provides that a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the crude oil which amounts to US$8.5 million (RM35 million) shall be used for the partial settlement of the outstanding amounts due from EPNL to Bumi Armada's unit Bumi Armada (Singapore) Pte Ltd (BASPL) and Armada Oyo Ltd for the provision of services under the Operational and Maintenance Services contract and Bareboat Charterparty contract.

It said the group will continue to provide updates from time to time on any further material developments regarding the Armada Perdana FPSO.

On April 17, Bumi Armada said BASPL received notice from EPNL about an alleged "force majeure event" and a request for an orderly shutdown of the operations of Armada Perdana.

BASPL had also received a notice of seizure of goods from a third party, stating that crude oil product to be produced and stored on Armada Perdana has been seized or attached by a writ of attachment issued by a court in Lagos, Nigeria.

Since last June, Bumi Armada has suspended operations on Armada Perdana due to delayed payments from EPNL.

My E.G. Services Bhd (MyEG) is teaming up with Universiti Malaya (UM) to promote and develop blockchain research, as well as implement an e-wallet on its campus.

"The collaboration may include but not be limited to knowledge exchange and mutual consultations (relating) to the organising of events, conferences and education activities in the fields of blockchain and e-wallet implementation," the group said.

On top of that, the group will work with UM to develop and implement educational material, promote awareness events, organise joint research projects and support talent development programmes in these fields.

It will also work with the university on the development and delivery of marketing and educational campaigns and materials on the benefits of blockchain and e-wallet technology, MyEG said. This is targeted at creating stakeholder awareness, consideration and demand.

"The parties themselves will bear any costs that arise during the implementation of the MoU, unless otherwise agreed for each individual case and will be agreed upon in separate contracts," MyEG said without elaborating.

The MoU is valid for a five-year period and is subject to revision upon mutual agreement, it added while its earnings and net assets per share for its financial year ending Sept 30, 2019 are not expected to be materially affected by the signing of the MoU.
