Reply to Bursa Malaysia's Query Letter - Reference ID: YL-110107-52922

Subject: REPLY TO QUERY: ARTICLE APPEARING IN THE EDGE FINANCIAL DAILY ON 7 JANUARY 2011

Contents: We refer to the query letter from Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad ("Bursa Securities") dated 7 January 2011 in respect of the article appearing in The Edge Financial Daily, page 1, on Friday, 7 January 2011.

The Board of Directors of the Company ("Board") wishes to confirm that RAHB is in preliminary discussions with the vendors of Syarikat Borcos Shipping Sdn Bhd ("Borcos") for the acquisition of an equity stake in Borcos. To date, no definitive and conclusive terms have been agreed upon with the vendors of Borcos in respect of the said acquisition. An appropriate announcement will be made by the Board in due course should the acquisition materialise.

In addition, we wish to clarify the following sentence in the article which was inaccurately reported:-

"Ramunia Holdings Berhad, which is without a core business,??."

Notwithstanding the Company sold its fabrication yard to Sime Darby Engineering Sdn Bhd in April 2010, RAHB continues to carry out its existing core business by actively participating in bids for projects in the oil and gas and engineering sectors, as permitted in the Petronas license issued to the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Ramunia Fabricators Sdn Bhd. This license was renewed in June 2010.


This announcement is dated 10 January 2011.

Friday, 7 January 2011, a copy of which is enclosed for your reference.

In particular, we would like to draw your attention to the underlined sentence
which is reproduced as follows:-

"Ramunia Holdings Berhad, which is without a core business, is in talks to
acquire Syarikat Borcos Shipping Sdn Bhd .............."

In accordance with Bursa Securities' Corporate Disclosure Policy, you are
requested to furnish Bursa Securities with an announcement for public release
confirming or denying the above reported article in particular the underlined
sentence after due and diligent enquiry with all the directors, major
shareholders and all such other persons reasonably familiar with the matters
about which the disclosure is to be made in this respect. In the event you deny
the above reported sentence or any other part of the article, you are required
to set forth facts sufficient to clarify any misleading aspects of the same. In
