The group said the synergetic benefits will enable the Ho Hup Group to bid for bigger contracts and handle bigger construction projects.

Ho Hup is aware, like any other businesses, that it will be exposed to the risks of changes in political and economic changes in Malaysia.

It said the acquisition is expected to be completed by the first quarter of next year. — Bernama
