At 9.10am, Dutaland fell 4 sen to 548.5 sen with 810,500 shares traded.
In a filing to Bursa Malaysia yesterday, Dutaland said revenue for the quarter rose to RM10.75 million from RM6.42 million a year earlier.

On its prospects. Dutaland said it expects to perform better in FY2017 than FY2016.
“This is mainly due to higher contributions from the plantation and property divisions.
“The contribution from the property division is mainly derived from the disposal of vacant land in Kuala Lumpur,” it said. — theedgemarkets.com
