"My Board and Management team are totally committed to building Vivocom into a reputable public company, with sound and sustainable fundamentals of solid profits and healthy cashflow," he said.

"We are very focussed in transforming Vivocom into a behemoth Conglomerate, via organic or inorganic growth, including expansive M&A (merger and acquisition) activities which may result in us acquiring strategic stakes in other Public Listed Companies for investment holding purposes," Dato Seri explained.

"We shall always act in Shareholders' best interests and, as a priority, would work towards getting Vivocom elevated to the Main Board of Bursa soonest possible," he added.

"We will also do our utmost to maximise Vivocom's earnings in the coming years in order to reward our shareholders with a handsome dividend pay-out at the earliest opportunity," Dato Seri continued.

To show his dedication, Dato Seri Chia has committed to a voluntary self--imposed moratorium (or SIM) in that he will not dispose his personal stakes in Vivocom for the next 3 years.

"I am strongly focussed on 'building the Vivocom legacy' while creating wealth for all shareholders of Vivocom for the long term," he promised.

"My SIM means that I won't be cashing in on my personal stakes in the immediate term or at least for the next 3 years. I'm supremely confident of maximising the wealth of Vivocom in the long run.

"In other words, I believe Vivocom shares will grow strongly over time and will be worth a lot more than the pre-Chinese New Year price of 89 sen," concluded Dato Seri Chia.
