Furniture maker builds a following in Malaysia

Article Abstract:

Many analysts consider Artwright Holdings to be one of the best investment options in the Malaysian stock market today. The company's share price has gone up sharply, from 3.90 ringgit in May 1996 to its present 10.50 ringgit. Analysts like the company because it is the acknowledged leader in Malaysia's growing market for office furniture. Moreover, Artwright is partly owned by one of Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohammad's sons, giving it the political clout to win lucrative government supply contracts.
