Malaysia Smelting Corporation (MSC) has been in the tin industry for well over a century. We take a deep dive into the company's earnings and balance sheet trends with its CEO, Datuk Dr. Patrick Yong. We also ask what MSC is doing to re-energise the business. Datuk Patrick Yong says that while the company is currently sweating through a "healing period", he predicts a tin revival will soon bring improvements. We also discuss what the tin company is hoping to achieve by making a rather unexpected move into the property industry.

Listen in.
