Sunway Group chief financial officer, Chong Chang Choong commented, “The Group registered strong financial performance for the first quarter of 2023, better than the pre-pandemic period, anchored by sustained domestic economic growth. While there may be downside risks to the economic growth outlook, the Group has taken actions to make our business units more resilient to manage the headwinds.
He added, “The Group is cautiously optimistic that most of its business units will continue to perform satisfactorily. In particular, the Group expects its leisure, hospitality, and healthcare segments to continue to benefit from the improving in-
bound leisure and medical-related tourism as more international airlines are resuming their flights to Malaysia.”
