7 Apr 2008: City & Country: The sky's the limit for LCL
We never tire of stories about Malaysians who beat the odds and achieve success. LCL Corp Bhd's founder and group managing director Low Chin Meng is one such story.
From a tiny interior renovation outfit, LCL Corp has bloomed into a Main Board-listed company with 24 subsidiaries and seven manufacturing plants. Its order book has breached RM1 billion, mainly from overseas projects, the bulk of which is in real estate boomtown Dubai.
Low says it is his "stubborn" personality that saw him through the early days of going without income for months, when the company was "a one-man show".
"If I want something, I will try my very best to go for it," he says.
Born and bred in Kajang, Selangor, Low has set up the company's base and manufacturing plants there as well.
"Our focus may be overseas but our home is here. We will be a billon-ringgit turnover company in a year's time, which is very soon. We are hoping to be one of the most aggressive players in the region and ultimately to be the world's largest fit-out company," he says determinedly.
Low dropped out of school when he was 15 so he could start working to contribute to the family income. "My parents were rubber tappers. My mum was ill for some time and she passed away when I was 15. I could not afford to continue school. What's more, I had two younger siblings to take care of. So I decided to quit school and took up carpentry with the help of some relatives," he shares with City & Country.
With his skills as a carpenter, he worked for various companies but harboured an ambition to one day be his own boss.
"When I started working, I was earning only RM5 a day. It was definitely not enough for the family so I thought the only way I could earn more was to have my own business," says Low. "I did not know a single word of English when I left school but I knew that if I were to succeed in business, I had to learn."
So Low picked up the English language on his own and now speaks it fluently.
At 23 years of age, he and two of his colleagues at the furniture company for which they were working decided to set up LCL Furniture Construction and Engineering Works, a partnership company with each of them paying RM500 from their pockets. LCL is the acronym of their surnames. The other two partners left the company a few years later but the name of the company was retained.
"We had no working capital. Life was very difficult. There were no weekends, long hours every day because we had to do everything ourselves. We tried to get our hands on whatever projects we could find. What we did was we subcontracted some work to factories to produce the furniture or whatever we needed. So we were like fit-out management contractors."
Their big break came with the development of the Kuala Lumpur International Airport. (KLIA) "This was our turning point in becoming a key player in the market."
LCL had been doing some small jobs for Malaysia Airlines at the old Subang Airport so when tenders were called, LCL was selected in its bid for some of the main fit-out packages for the KLIA.
After KLIA, their next major development in the country was Putrajaya. "We were and still are very involved as an interior contractor for government buildings and offices there," Low says. These included the Finance Ministry, the Foreign Affairs Ministry and the National Registration Department.
As a fit-out company, LCL stands out because it produces its own components, making it a one-stop interior fit-out centre. Its wood division produces generic and loose wooden furniture as well as customised built-in furniture. Its other divisions comprise metal and stainless steel, plaster, stone, and fabric and cushions. Most of these were acquired when they were LCL's subcontractors. "About 70% of the fit-out materials for our projects are produced ourselves. Because of this, we could expand overseas. We can deliver the A to Z of fit-out. Today, we have 600,000 sq ft of production space in the form of factories and plants," says Low.
Producing its own materials results in quality control and punctual delivery. "We realised that this is important in this business. The client is willing to pay for quality and punctual delivery. For example, if we want to run the factory 24 hours, we can. If we subcontract it out, we have no say.
"Our current production capacity is enough to meet at least 60% of the needs of our current projects, which means we outsource 40% and we will maintain this ratio for some years," offers Low.
LCL's expansion overseas began soon after it was listed in 2004 on the Second Board of Bursa Malaysia. It selected the Middle East and India as the main countries for its expansion abroad.
The focus on the Middle East is not difficult to understand since there is a real estate and construction boom there. "There are a lot of new buildings coming up there, so it gives us a lot of opportunities, which could last for many years. Demand for our kind of business is high. They are also paying us a good premium, giving us a high profit margin," says Low.
But the real estate boom in Dubai is not the only reason LCL is there.
The group's underlying strategy is to "go where the oil flows", says Low. "Where the oil flows is where the people have the spending power and would be willing to spend on the best of everything."
This is also the reason it has ventured into Kazakhstan, located in the region that has the third-largest oil reserve in the world, according to petroleum scientists.
LCL's Middle East office is based in Dubai but it also has an office in Doha and is entering Abu Dhabi and Bahrain.
"As one would have noticed, the buildings there are not just buildings. They build the ambience, the lifestyle. A hotel is not just any hotel and they are willing to spend and develop the best," Low explains.
However, to balance things out in case things got too "hot" in the Middle East, LCL has built its presence in India as well. "We find that it is an up-and-coming market, where there is room for upgrading of living standards. The population is big and if just 1% or 2% of the population can afford our product, it would be big enough for us," Low offers.
LCL has signed a strategic partnership with IJM to focus on interior fit-out (IFO) projects in India and has since delivered several boutique hotels there, including the Novotel Hotel, Hyderabad, India (completed in 2006) and Ista Hotel also in Hyderabad, completed recently. It has also been appointed by Sun Gumberg, a joint venture between JJ Gumberg and Sun Group, as the IFO contractor for their proposed mixed development projects in India. The appointment is for eight years.
The first two years of its entry into a foreign market are used to build a strong foundation in the respective country. "We did a lot of market research, getting to know the local social and business cultures, made contacts and build networks. Only in 2006 did LCL take on large projects worth more than RM100 million each and today, we have close to RM1 billion worth of projects in hand. We believe the numbers will continue to grow for the next few years," says Low.
In 2006, overseas projects contributed 30% to the group's turnover. The following year, the contribution shot up to 70% and this is estimated to climb to 85% this year.
"We also achieved a 70% growth in group turnover last year and for this year, we are targeting 100% growth," says Low.
To date, LCL has sent about 1,000 Malaysians abroad working for LCL. "About 70% of our staff overseas are Malaysians because they have the skill. We train them and we provide them their basic needs."
LCL also has its board members to thank for its successful ventures overseas. "If you look at the members of our board, some of them are former ambassadors who, through their experience, network and advice, helped us establish ourselves there. So, we need to give them credit."
LCL's first major project in Dubai was the Atlantis Hotel in the Palm project, worth RM108 million, secured in April 2006. A year later saw the company securing several contracts, beginning with a RM34.2 million contract for the Palm Juneirah Aarina Apartments in April 2007. The following month, it secured a RM119.6 million contract for the Dubai Marina Mall and Hotel. This was followed quickly by contracts for the Prime Tower Office tower worth RM60 million and the Burj Dubai Mall Hotel worth RM139 million.
In January this year, it secured a RM145 million contract for the Tiara United Towers hotel and serviced apartments and in February, it won a RM295 million contract to furnish 14 Red Line stations for Dubai Metro System's fully automated light rail transit network.
LCL is currently bidding for the fit-out package for JW Marriot Hotel in Kazakhstan. It is also actively seeking to establish a foothold in the new markets of Bahrain and Libya and has submitted bids for some projects in these markets. LCL is also bidding for contracts in one of the Singapore integrated casino developments. Locally, it is eyeing opportunities in potential developments in the recently launched economic corridors. It is also looking at a number of high-end hotels that are due for refurbishment.

對手DEPA上市 LCL機構股價料受激勵
2008年4月22日
報導 - 翁慧琪
(吉隆坡21日訊)營業額貢獻超過80%來自海外的LCL機構(LCL，7177，主板貿服股)，在中東市場的首要對手─DEPA集團，即將在迪拜與倫敦上市，有望一併推動LCL機構股價升高。
LCL機構的對手DEPA集團，預計將在下週(4月23日)，于迪拜國際金融交易所(DIFX)和倫敦股票交易所上市。該集團將發售1億8800萬股新股，以及公開獻售9000萬股。競價投標(Book-building)介于每股1.50至1.85美元(5.50到6.78阿聯酋迪拉姆)，而發售價則還未作最后決定。
股本達6億4860股的DEPA集團，市值達9億7200萬至11億9800萬美元，更高于LCL機構目前的市值─1億3000萬美元。此外，該公司還有足夠潛能，可望在08財政年取得3億1000萬阿聯酋迪拉姆的淨盈利，把每股盈利帶上47.8仙的高水平。相比現有水平，該集團的淨盈利按年成長超過90%。
然而，分析員認為，LCL機構的淨盈利表現，將在08年增長高達168%，若該集團的營業額在09年突破10億令吉，其淨盈利相信將能夠進一步取得100%成長。無論如何，市場針對該集團的預測數據都較為保守，在未來兩季中，該集團還是有機會獲頒更多合約。
與LCL機構相仿，DEPA集團的主要市場是中東。若LCL機構營業額真的能夠在明年衝破10億令吉大關，分析員預測，其中有30至40%的原料生產，將會是以外包方式進行，而未來的趨勢相信也是會通過外包。另外，該集團在現今政治不穩的市場中，營運仍然不受影響，因為該集團的營收主要都是來自海外市場，如迪拜。
聯昌國際投資銀行分析員預測，DEPA集團的上市行動，將推動LCL機構的股價走高，而該股的評價是DEPA集團的25至30%折價，所以其市值雖小但依然合理。無論如何，該分析員保持LCL機構的盈利預測不變，而他認為該集團的表現還有上漲空間，最主要是下兩季中，其訂單能夠達到11億5000萬令吉的水平。
該分析員繼續給予該股「跑贏大市」的評級， 目標價格是11.75令吉。他認為，LCL機構依然存有催化劑，包括在中東和印度等地區獲得高于預期的室內裝置(IFO)合約、阿聯酋迪拉姆匯率走高，以及將在本週上市的DEPA集團。
DEPA集團，是一個由超過10位股東所成立的財團，其中包括艾馬地產公司(Emaar)、Zabeel投資、全球投資屋等。該集團發售新股，預測將能夠籌得2億8100萬到3億4700萬美元(10億3000萬至12億7000萬阿聯酋迪拉姆)，並把該集團原先背負超過3億阿聯酋迪拉姆的淨負債，改為擁有大筆現金。這筆資金將會用作收購製造方面的設施，或參與聯營發展計劃。

In Dubai, a home away from home for Malaysian workers
By VIVIENNE PAL
One company, said to be the biggest employers of Malaysians in Dubai, has set up a home environment on foreign soil to combat homesickness.
IT GETS lonely sometimes for Chen Wen Tsong – the nights are especially hard. A carpenter for an interior outfit solutions company based in Dubai for the last two years, Chen feels a more acute yearning for his wife and children as the day draws to a close and he waits for sleep to take over.
Back in Malaysia, his family counts the days to his trips home twice a year.
Relaxing: Catching up on news after work. The skilled workers of LCL Interiors LLC in Dubai are housed in staff quarters which are comfortable and adequately equipped. – Pictures by VICTOR K.K. NG / The Star and courtesy of LCL CORP BHD
Chen is among the 1,000 Malaysians or more currently working in Dubai for LCL Interiors LLC, an associate company under the umbrella of LCL Corporation Berhad, a home-grown company listed on the Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange main board.
Being surrounded by so many Malaysians does make working and living in a strange land easier to cope with but Chen admits that there’s nothing like family.
“Friends, I have many; family, none,” he said wistfully during a phone interview. “But working with so many Malaysians makes the job easier because we communicate better and therefore, work faster.”
The idea of working abroad has always fascinated him, so when the opportunity to work abroad came up, Chen jumped at the chance – despite not having his family by his side.
“Malaysia will always be home. I accepted the secondment to Dubai because I wanted the exposure while I’m still young,” said Chen, 36.
While the prospects of international exposure, better remuneration and the sheer experience of working away from home is a great lure for many to leave their families to work in a foreign land, it does not erase the gnawing ache they feel from missing home and loved ones.
Well fed: The basic three meals are provided for skilled workers, and brought to them on site or to their living quarters.
Which is why LCL Corporation Berhad goes all out to help their 1,063 Malaysian employees cope with being far from home.
Aside from return tickets back home twice a year and the long yearly down time (21 days leave for the first year and subsequently 30 days per annum), the company offers various schemes that make working in Dubai attractive and, they hope, worthwhile for the employee.
One of the main issues to tackle is the feeling of homesickness.
“We can’t just say, ‘Oh, don’t be homesick.’ From the surveys we’ve conducted in our first two years in Dubai, we realise that in order to encourage our employees to stay, we have to build a home together with them,” said LCL Corporation Berhad group managing director, Low Chin Meng.
In the case of design manager Dhanabalan Chandrasekhaven, he decided to heed the career call and move to Dubai with his wife, who now works with him in the same company.
“It’s more challenging here with the latest designs and there is a lot I can learn from Dubai because it is a current market. And of course, there is international exposure,” said Dhanabalan, 32, who has been working there for over a year.
The initial six months of his employment, however, was spent alone while arrangements were made for his wife to join him.
While he acknowledged that the perks were good, being surrounded by his Malaysian colleagues in those first few months made the period more bearable.
Cosy: A comfortable furnished room is welcome at the end of a long workday.
“There is a family tie among us because we are all from the same cultural background. Yes, there was still that slight homesickness but it didn’t feel like I was really away from home because we had a sense of belonging,” he explained.
The employment of a large Malaysian workforce – aside from the ostensible lack of local workers – was in itself a strategic move in making life better for the employees, while increasing productivity.
“There are about one million locals compared to an expatriate community of about four to five million, and the latter are usually already contracted to other employers,” said Low.
“Our core team four years ago consisted of mostly Malaysians. We decided to keep to that because Malaysians are better skilled and because of similar cultural backgrounds, there is better camaraderie and understanding both among the workers, and between employer and employee,” Low explained, adding that employing a Malaysian costs about RM350 per day, compared to employing a Thai, Indonesian or Chinese national which would cost half the amount.
Senior staff members are offered various packages, one of which includes bringing their immediate family members over. The company takes care of matters pertaining to their visa, accommodation, medication and education costs (for the children).
The skilled workers are housed together in respectable quarters equipped with air-conditioning and full amenities, while the senior staff members live in furnished apartments.
But the little things matter too, when it comes to instilling a Malaysian spirit and creating a home-like atmosphere among the workers.
LCL Corporation Berhad group managing director Low Chin Meng: ‘We share our joys and sufferings together as a team.’
For instance, there are two Malaysian chefs who prepare a variety of meals to cater to the Malaysian palate for both the skilled workers (all meals are brought to them on site or their living quarters) and staff (lunch only, at a token fee of only 4 dirham or RM3.45 since they live in apartments and have the option to cook).
“The workers need their local food, too. It’s bad enough that they are so far from home. Giving them something familiar helps make them feel less homesick,” said LCL Interiors LLC chief operating officer and co-founder Abdul Hakim Asmaun.
LCL Interiors LLC started in 2004 with a core team of only three employees tasked to survey the UAE market. The staff force grew to 15 and, by 2006, the company had secured projects in UAE worth more than RM100mil, requiring a larger workforce.
The company allocates allowances for regular meetings among workers, besides staff dinners and motivation sessions held to keep morale high. Malaysian festivals are celebrated complete with food and fanfare (picture a lion dance during Chinese New Year in the middle of the Gulf!) so that employees don’t miss out on celebrations back home.
“My house is usually the gathering place,” chuckled Abdul Hakim, “and occasionally, the employees themselves request the gatherings.”
“Sometimes festivals are celebrated here at an even larger scale than back home,” acknowledged Dhanabalan, adding that there is also a sports club that organises activities for employees.
“The company does more for us than the Malaysian embassy. It drives home the company motto of working as a team,” he added.
It looks like the formula employed by the company has been successful.
“Staff turnover is very low, even below our expectations, at about 5%,” said Low.
However, he believes there is room for improvement. For instance, the company hopes to register a proper Sports & Welfare Club in order to bring together not just Malaysians working under the LCL banner, but also Malaysians from other companies based in Dubai.
“As a private company, we are in a better position to do this,” he said.
“Being away for three weeks every month, I understand what the employees go through. It must be worse for them who are away from home for much longer periods of time. Ultimately, we want to build a home with them, to send them a message that we share our joys and sufferings together as a team,” concluded Low.

LCL企業打造世界願景‧中小企業也能馳騁全球
投資廣場 2008-05-28 12:54
LCL企業在迪拜為大馬工友找到屬於他們的“家”，三餐皆由大馬廚師打點，吃的問題解決後，約300名工友全力投入工作。左四為LCL企業董事經理劉增銘，右四戴墨鏡者為迪拜區域董事阿都哈京。（圖：星洲日報）
蔡添輝：中小企業應與上市公司締結策略聯盟，往各領域利基業務發展，另外設類聚工業區將形成“雙贏”格局。（圖：星洲日報）
美經濟因信貸緊縮打擊後，全球經濟醞釀放緩乃至經濟衰退的風險，競爭力未強的中小企業更易受這股風潮所衝擊，因此需在履險如夷的環境中力爭上游。
大馬工程在海外表現不俗，愈來愈多公司積極到海外發展，這些公司在海外的標青表現，把大馬的服務與品牌散播得更遠。
有能力到海外獲取工程的大型上市公司，皆需要有一個能夠倚賴的大“後方”，倘若中小企業能與在海外有工程的上市公司締結聯盟，將是很好的“互補”。
多年前還是中小企業，4年前上市的LCL企業（LCL,7177），當初胸懷著“世界是我們的市場”願景，逐步實現了；它想根據這個模式，引領大馬的中小企業馳騁於世界市場上。
劉増銘：致力尋找支援工業
該公司董事經理劉增銘所致力於尋找的，包括水管、衛生設施、地板等支援工業，這些企業可在迪拜銷售產品，另外也形成該公司的強力支援，這樣更省時省力。
他表示，從事這些行業的大馬中小企業應該親自到迪拜走走，尋找契機與吸取國際經驗，這樣才有望把業務版圖擴展至更大。
該展示館專為大馬中小企業而設，鳩收合理租金，這遠比他當初到迪拜時，投資約百萬令吉而仍看不到未來，心理上要踏實、安心多了。
與當初看不到的未來比較，因為有軌跡可尋，只有用心與投入，未來看到的將是璀璨美景，這可從LCL企業的成功獲得印證。
年中在迪拜上市
為了在海外擴充的融資，LCL企業計劃於今年中在迪拜上市，劉增銘說:“這裡所能獲得的溢價，可能要比在大馬的好。我很有信心將會實現。”
儘管預測未來會有中國方面的嚴峻挑戰，但基於種種因素，中國裝修業仍未能如建築業般踏足阿聯酋。該公司已在迪拜建立名聲與獲無數大龐大計劃，未來將有望提昇至接手6至7星級酒店裝修的水平。”
劉增銘馳騁世界靠的是員工給於的力量，他所最注重的資本是員工，這是他帶領該公司馳騁國際的力量源泉。
他身體力行把員工放在第一位，並認為這個行業不能過度依賴機器，員工的態度與行為只有使事情成功，因此投資與照顧他們，是公司及他優先的政策。
該公司每年花280萬令吉，在距離迪拜約45分鐘車程的JEBEL ALI工業區，為約300名工友安置了一個家，還特地從大馬聘請二、三名廚師，餐餐打點食物與負責送至工地。
人有無限潛能，中小企業要有鴻鵠的遠大志向，劉增銘15歲便輟學，1981年加入聯邦家具廠工作，不管在大馬或身在迪拜，他都主張以腳踏實地的方式，從小工程做起，建立起堅實基礎後才邁向更大工程。
他謙虛的說，在迪拜投資，我也在學習業內人士如何經營，如何使用最新、最先進的材料。“LCL企業需在國際環境下競爭，我也在這種環境下吸取國際經驗。”該公司去年進一步把業務擴大至世界第四石油國的哈薩克。
若要創新需要時時改進
LCL企業仍是一個年輕公司，它已訓練很多年輕職員處理業務；
他以謙和口吻說，要在市場上不斷創新，你必須時時學習與改進；在業界內，兩年前是好料的東西， 2年後可能變成“垃圾”。
因此，LCL企業花在研發的開支很多，職員都受促出席展銷會，收集最新資訊。這樣便能遊刃有餘，克服國際環境的一切挑戰。
剛剛上市的櫥櫃業公司勝利者國際（SIGN,7246，二板消費品），也與LCL企業踏著相同的步伐，逐漸把利基的服務擴展至海外14國。
其他如水務、固體廢料、污水處理公司實康（SALCON,8567,主板貿服組），漸漸在中國、印度、斯里蘭卡、越南、印尼乃至柬埔寨擴展業務。大馬產業發展公司如也逐漸形成風潮，在發展蓬勃的區域擴展業務。
應與上市公司結成策略聯盟
大馬中小型工業公會全國總會長蔡添輝認為，中小企業公司應利用這種發展趨勢，與上市公司締結成策略聯盟，供應一些商品或為上市公司提供服務。
他稱許台灣的中小企業形成一個有效的類聚工業（cluster industries）。相關的工業匯聚一處，這樣才能大量生產，並以更具競爭力的產品，在世界市場與人爭鋒。與在海外的上市公司合作，皆是“雙贏“的。
“大馬準備朝這方面邁進，譬如鞋業、瓷磚業、家具業可匯合於一處；這一方面也方便客戶尋找產品。原產業加工是我們的強項，應該匯集一處。”
製造業仍有所作為
儘管製造業尤其美經濟放緩後表現較遜，但在利基領域的製造業仍有所作為。隨著農產品因世界與區域土地減少，導致農產品與食品價格偏高，食品業是個潛能未全面開發的領域，若能夠參與回教食品市場，其價值與出口潛能更能相應提高。
他指出，屬下一些從事食品的公司，已經成為霸市的固定供應者；一些中小企業公司也供應原料予在大馬的跨國公司如雀巢（Nestle,4707）。該跨國公司培訓本地中小企業成為具競爭性的企業，有朝一日可以不斷成長，供應給全球市場。

PERFORMANCE REVIEW
For the current year to date ended 31 March 2008, the Group achieved a revenue increase of 105.89% to RM 103.250 million as compared to the year to date ended 31 March 2007 of RM 50.147 million. Profits after tax (“PAT”) for the year to date ended 31 March 2008 rose by 142.07% to RM 10.007 million as compared to that of the year to date ended 31 March 2007 of RM 4.134.
The improvement was mainly attributable to the contribution from the Group’s overseas operations, in particular, United Arab Emirates, which are enjoying higher tax free profit margin. Interior fit-out services remain as the main contributor to the Group’s overall performance.
2.
QUARTERLY RESULTS COMPARISON
For the current quarter under review, the Group recorded revenue of RM103.250 million as compared to the corresponding quarter in the year 2007 of RM50.147 million and also the preceding quarter of RM103.427 million. However, the PAT for the current quarter under review of RM10.007 million is higher as compared to the corresponding quarter in 2007 of RM4.134 million and the preceding quarter of RM4.777 million. The higher PAT for this quarter is mainly due to the contribution from overseas operations, in particular, United Arab Emirates.

我认为当金融界看好她时，他们会合理化一切缺点，所以cash flow from operation是负数不是大问题，也不必因为此因素而卖出，只要你本身清楚就可以了。 |

LCL first-quarter net jumps to RM10m
Published: 2008/05/30
LCL Corp Bhd’s net profit for the first quarter ended March 31, 2008 rose by 142 per cent to RM10 million from RM4.1 million in the same quarter last year.
Revenue increased by 106 per cent to RM103.3 million from RM50.1 million previously.
In a statement yesterday, LCL, an interior fit-out specialist, attributed the significant improvement in the group's financial performance to the growth in contribution from the gUnited Arab Emirates (UAE) operations which contributed 75 per cent of the group's revenue.
Group managing director Low Chin Meng said the UAE operations experienced tremendous growth and continued to be the major contributor to the group's earnings.
"The group has been successful in positioning itself as one of the major interior fit-out (IFO) players there and will be positively impacted from the growing demand for IFO services in UAE over the next few years,” he said.
He said LCL, which would use the established platform in the UAE as a springboard, would focus its efforts on strengthening the group's presence in selected target markets, namely Kazakhstan, India and in the Middle East. — Bernama

LCL的首季盈利雖比去年同期大增２．２９倍，
但只是表面好看！
若不是首季借了４千２百７２萬，手中現金會全部消耗完，
還倒貼１千９百８６萬。
整間公司根本就是借錢過日子！
目前借來剩餘的２千２百７６萬，最多只能支持一個月半，
其平均收帳期是６個月，看一看還能支撐多久？
這潛在地雷，遲早會成為財經新聞的頭條！ |

LCL最近獲得１．８億的合約，以及還有其它的合約，
加起來不知有多少億的規模，
但是，
LCL的手中現金只有2千萬，且還非常吃緊，如何能應付的來？ |
