The segment, which is in the business of production and distribution of staple food, is expected to perform satisfactorily, riding on its strong technical competency, extensive marketing and distribution network as well as in-depth procurement experience. The Consumer Products segment is expected to perform satisfactorily as the Group endeavours to expand sales into the food service channel and e-commerce marketplace. 32 PROSPECTS The Film exhibition and distribution segment performance will be weighed down by intermittent cinema closures, operating in reduced seating capacity due to strict adherence to maintaining social distancing, and deferment of movie titles. Management is confident that the movie industry will start to recover as the Covid-19 cases are brought under control and after the planned rollout of the vaccination programme in February 2021. We remain resilient during this transitory period and continue to work on revenue diversification and cost optimisation initiatives, in addition to stringent cash flow management. 33 PROSPECTS The Environmental engineering and utilities segment will continue to focus on replenishing its order book and exploring new project opportunities. Performance of the Property segment remains challenging, both in the area of investment properties and property development.
