The question is will the company continue with special dividend next year? Let me deduce this way; the special dividend payout is estimated at RM146M (based on weighted average number of ordinary issued shares of 261,534,000 sourced from latest report). 1Q12 has delivered RM37M, and assuming consistent quarterly result for rest of the FY, the special dividend payout can be easily covered from FY12 earnings.
