BDB Teroka Peluang Niaga Baharu, Kukuhkan Prestasi Jangka Panjang

BDB Eyes Turnaround In 2026, Profitability CEO’s Top Agenda

Bina Darulaman Berhad (BDB) is positioning 2026 as a pivotal year in its transformation journey, with a renewed focus on core operations and restoring profitability after a loss-making year.

Group Chief Executive Officer Che Abdul Khalid Md Din said the company is intensifying efforts to strengthen its key business segments, namely road construction and quarrying, property development, engineering and construction (E&C), as well as its leisure division.

“2026 is a pivotal year for BDB. The Group is entering the year with a clear mandate to restore performance, strengthen execution discipline, and rebuild stakeholder confidence,” he said in a statement.

He added that the group will refocus on its core strengths, tighten cost management and adopt higher-impact strategies to drive stronger revenue generation.

“Our priority is not only to return to profitability, but also to establish a stronger and more sustainable foundation for long-term growth,” he said.

As part of its strategy, BDB plans to pursue new business opportunities across both public and private sectors, while strengthening strategic partnerships, particularly with companies under Perbadanan Kemajuan Negeri Kedah.

The group has also expanded beyond its traditional role as a housing developer into industrial and manufacturing segments, enhancing its E&C portfolio.

Che Abdul Khalid said BDB would adopt a more aggressive approach in securing quality projects, with a strong emphasis on cost control and operational discipline.

Within its property division, the group will prioritise ongoing developments such as Darulaman Saujana, Hosba, Aman Nusa, Langkawi and Bandar Darulaman in Jitra. The Darulaman Commercial District is also expected to emerge as a new growth catalyst.

Meanwhile, BDB is looking to optimise its tourism and leisure assets, including Darulaman Sanctuary, The LAB in Langkawi and Fantasia Aquapark, while enhancing attractions and commercial activities at Darulaman Park to boost segment performance.

For the financial year ended Dec 31, 2025, BDB posted a net loss of RM16.8 million, mainly due to delays in property project launches and margin pressures from infrastructure projects nearing completion.

However, revenue rose to RM330.71 million from RM294.74 million a year earlier, reflecting continued business activity despite operational challenges.

BDB Masters Solidifies Position As Northern Region’s Premier Amateur Golf Event

ALOR SETAR, Dec 7 (Bernama) — The BDB Masters has strengthened its status as the premier amateur golf championship in the Northern Region, as evident from the participation of more than 150 players in its 10th edition, which ended at the Darulaman Golf and Country Club (DGCC) in Jitra today.

Bina Darulaman Berhad (BDB) Group Chief Executive Officer Che Abdul Khalid Md Din said the event has a long history as a continuation of the Darulaman Masters, first held more than 20 years ago.

“After a decade of organisation, the BDB Masters has grown into a brand that plays an important role in enhancing BDB Group’s corporate image. This championship not only strengthens the sporting identity under the BDB brand, but also stands as a symbol of excellence, prestige and community unity through golf.

“Ten years ago, participation was only around 80 players, mostly from Kedah and neighbouring states. Alhamdulillah, the number has now risen to over 150 participants, with more than 80 per cent coming from outside Kedah,” he said in a statement today.

Che Abdul Khalid said this growth demonstrates that the BDB Masters brand now stands in a class of its own.

“The BDB Group is committed to continuing to offer the best golf championship in the Northern Region, not only through attractive prizes but also through game challenges that can draw participants from within and outside the country in the future.

“As in previous years, the BDB Masters was contested in five categories: Gross Open, Nett Open, Nett Intermediate, Senior Gross and Senior Nett,” he said.

He added that apart from the overall prizes, a major attraction was the Hole-in-One reward — two cars, a Proton X70 and a Perodua Myvi — which players had the chance to win on the second and third days of the tournament.

Kall Danish, 23, was crowned overall champion after recording 220 strokes over the three days of competition, and he walked away with a cash prize and the championship trophy.

The tournament was attended by BDB chairman Che Had Dhali and BDB Darulaman Golf Resort Berhad chairman Datuk Abdul Rahman Abdullah.
