Ironing out the Past and Future Challenges in the Steel Industry

Prestar Resources Berhad is a steel manufacturing company and also the biggest supplier of guardrails in Malaysia, which line our major highways and expressways. Prestar’s performance was affected by the change of government as well as external headwinds, which makes 2019 possibly a challenging year for the company to operate.

We speak to MD Dato’ Toh Yew Peng about the company’s performance, as well as its plans to list one of its subsidiaries on the ACE Market next month.
