We believe that KGB is well positioned to ride onto the aforementioned growth and we made no changes to our orderbook replenishment assumption of RM1.20bn for FY23f.

Hung parliament is likely to contribute to the knee jerk sell down. The market may stabilise after the PM candidate is sent in at 2pm, but with some side effects. PN coalition – the market may avoid sin sectors, while focusing on shariah related. PH government – the market could focus on construction, telco and renewable energy, but may not be corporation-friendly.
