New Jalan Alor Seafood Restaurant
Canteen Malaya has opened on Jalan Alor in Kuala Lumpur, offering live seafood and an open kitchen in an air-conditioned, four-level restaurant.
Diners choose their own crab, tiger prawns or fish, which is then cooked to order in view of the dining floor. Crab is the focus of the menu, with more than 30 flavours and preparations, including 12 signature dishes such as Salted Egg Crab, Kam Heong Crab and White Pepper Crab.
The restaurant seats up to 700 guests. The ground and first floors hold the dining areas and private rooms, and the second floor has an event hall for up to 250.
“Our focus is simple: to serve fresh, honest seafood to everyday diners,” said Ms Patricia Wong, Management Representative of Canteen Malaya. “We wanted an open kitchen where guests can watch their seafood being prepared, in a space where they can take their time over a meal.”
Canteen Malaya is at 28, 28A-C, 30 and 30A-C Jalan Alor and is open daily from 11am to 2am.
L&G AGM Backs Growth Push
Land & General Berhad (L&G) secured shareholder approval for all nine resolutions at its 63rd AGM today, including a final dividend of 0.8 sen per share for FY2026. Combined with the 0.2 sen interim dividend paid in May, total FY2026 dividends reached 1.0 sen — up 25% from FY2025. The final dividend is payable 16 October to shareholders on record as at 2 October.
Shareholders also approved the re-election of three directors, the reappointment of KPMG PLT as auditors, a general share issuance mandate, and a proposed share buy-back.
The vote follows a record FY2026: Group revenue rose 70.6% to RM490.5 million, pre-tax profit climbed 25.6% to RM74.2 million, and net profit attributable to owners grew 38.7% to RM50.5 million. The momentum carried into 1QFY2027, with revenue up 61.5% year-on-year to RM159.0 million and net profit up 88.7% to RM21.5 million. Unbilled sales stood at RM513 million as at 30 June, backed by RM1.5 billion in planned FY2027 launches.
L&G is also broadening beyond its traditional property development base into a three-pillar structure spanning property, education (via its Sri Bestari schools) and industrial development. The centrepiece is a planned industrial park on its roughly 2,500-acre Lembah Beringin landbank, with the first phase targeted for FY2027 and revenue recognition expected from FY2028, alongside a RM500 million stratified industrial and commercial project on 13.74 acres in Tampoi, Johor.
