KTMD need improvement to reduces losses - report



KUALA LUMPUR -- KTM Distribution Sdn Bhd (KTMD), the express distribution arm of Keretapi Tanah Melayu Bhd, has been urged to implement a more aggressive business strategy to improve its revenue and not be fully dependent on the main customers.

The 2017 Auditor-General's Report Series 1 on the Management of Government Companies and Federal Government Agencies also recommended that the company carry out more effective promotion by doing an effectiveness study on its promotions.

The report, which was tabled in Parliament, noted KTMD had implemented courier service activities in line with the objective of its establishment, which was to provide such services to meet the needs of the overseas courier service industry.

Nonetheless, KTMD was still found to be not very efficient and effective in managing delivery services such as in terms of marketing strategy, delivery method and revenue collection policy.

"There is room for improvement to improve KTMD's main income and reduce the losses incurred every year,” the report said.

KTMD's overall financial position was stable because it had adequate resources, it said.

Moreover, the company had good liquidity, which allowed it to meet its short-term liabilities at a 3:1 ratio in 2016, and had a positive cash and cash equivalents balance of RM4.81 million at the end of that year.

However, KTMD had been posting pre-tax losses for three consecutive years.

Hence, the report recommended for KTMD to implement good governance practices, especially in the company's standard operating procedures (SOPs) that should be reviewed and the preparation of SOPS for finance, marketing and sales.

In addition, KTMD needs to improve its debt management through more effective enforcement and monitoring to reduce arrears.

The report suggested that the company beef up its credit unit and reconsider the credit period given to customers.

KTMD was incorporated on Feb 8, 1984, under the Companies Act 1965 as Bukit Tunku Development Corp Sdn Bhd, which was changed to the present name on March 5, 1992.

Its main activity is courier services, including door-to-door delivery of parcels and documents and transportation of motorcycles.

Proton SUV open for booking at RM1,000

KUALA LUMPUR -- National car maker, Proton Holdings Bhd, is adopting an alphanumerical naming system for its future models beginning with the X70, its first sport utility vehicle (SUV). Sales and Marketing Vice-President Abdul Rashid Musa said the letter X is synonymous with crossover or SUV vehicles, while the number 70 denoted the size or class of the SUV and would enable Proton to adopt a logical system to add bigger or smaller models in the future. “This is the first time an alphanumerical naming system is used on a Proton model as our research shows it will make it easier to sell in ASEAN and other international markets, as there are no language barriers to overcome,” he told reporters at the preview of the new SUV. Proton Chief Executive Officer Dr Li Chunrong said Proton's adoption of the new naming system would make customer more focus on the brand name as compared with the model name. Abdul Rashid, who is also the Chief Executive Officer o...
