KUALA LUMPUR: Penang-based CAB Cakaran Corp Bhd is setting up a poultry-slaughtering facility in Singapore, along with a dormitory for its workers.
CAB’s 51%-owned unit, Tong Huat Poultry Processing Factory Pte Ltd, has inked a shareholders’ agreement with four parties to subscribe for stakes in Singapore Poultry Hub Pte Ltd, which will operate and manage the facility.
The four parties are Kee Song Holdings Pte Ltd, Sinmah Holdings (S) Pte Ltd, Tysan Food Pte Ltd and Tan Chin Long, the poultry firm said in a filing with Bursa Malaysia yesterday.
CAB will be subscribing for a 25% stake in Singapore Poultry Hub. Kee Song and Sinmah will also take up 25% stakes while Tysan and Tan will hold 12.5% stakes.
On the rationale to ink the shareholders’ agreement, CAB said it will regulate the affairs and businesses to be undertaken by Singapore Poultry Hub.
According to CAB’s 2016 annual report, the group derives 14% of its revenue from its operation in Singapore, while the remaining 86% is generated by its Malaysian business.
CAB is controlled by its executive chairman Chuah Ah Bee, with a 31.61% stake.
