Dataprep Holdings Bhd, which is controlled by tycoon Datuk Lim Chee Wah, is close to securing a major information technology contract in China. BT understands that the five-year contract could be worth as much as RM600m, and that an announcement on the matter would be made by as early as next week. The 58-year-old Lim is the youngest son of the late gaming magnate Tan Sri Lim Goh Tong. Lim controls 531% of Dataprep via privately-owned VXL Holdings Sdn Bhd. Since June last year, Dataprep had secured projects worth RM100m from government-linked entities, such as the Employees Provident Fund, Tenaga Nasional Bhd, Telekom Malaysia Bhd and Celcom Axiata Bhd. In last Dec, Dataprep CEO Ahmad Rizan Ibrahim was reported to have said that under the company’s turnaround plan, it wanted overseas contribution to make up 10% of the group’s revenue. (BT)
