KUALA LUMPUR: Kerjaya Prospek Bhd CEO and executive director Tee Eng Tiong says he is cautiously optimistic as the prices of raw materials have started to taper off from highs recorded in the first half of 2022.

In addition, he said the construction firm's application for its first batch of 500 foreign workers have recently been approved, which provides it with the resources to take on more jobs.

"Our main focus is to continue securing new contracts to bolster our order book and enhance our operational efficiency to boost our bottomline," he said in a statement accompanying its results announcement.

In the second quarter ended June 30, 2022, Kerjaya Prospek recorded a net profit of RM28.54mil, which was a 78.31% jump from RM16mil in the previous corresponding quarter.

Earnings per share rose to 2.3 sen from 1.29 sen in the comparative quarter.

The group reported revenue of RM276.92mil, a 45.83% year-on-year improvement due to higher progress billings as there were no disruptions at the work sites compared to last year.
