MMAG Holdings Bhd acquired an 80% stake in chartered flight company JT Aerotech Solutions Sdn Bhd for RM21.36 million cash. It bought the stake from JT Aerotech Solutions Sdn Bhd, which will hold a 20% stake in M Jets.

Dialog Group Bhd’s first quarter ended Sept 30, 2020 (1QFY21) net profit fell by 10.9% to RM146.62 million from RM164.64 million a year prior on lower revenue. Quarterly revenue declined by 48.64% to RM331.66 million from RM645.76 million in 1QFY20. The lower net profit was also the result of a non-cash fair value gain of RM28.5 million in 1QFY20, which resulted in higher net profit in the corresponding quarter last financial year. The lower revenue was due to the focus of the development of its own internal midstream terminal assets, coupled with slower downstream activities and the drop in upstream oil prices.
