JUSTIFICATION ON INVESTMENT
In order to capitalize on the increasing demand for certain goods and services, I have decided
to invest in a variety of stocks. I believe that companies in the food, clothing, courier, healthcare,
technology, and oil industries will see growth in the near future, and I have chosen to invest in
specific companies within these sectors. By diversifying my investments across different
industries and companies, I hope to minimize risk and maximize potential returns.

I am particularly bullish on the food industry, as I believe that the growing population and
increasing disposable income in Malaysia will lead to a higher demand for food products. For
this reason, I have decided to invest in CCK and F&N, two companies that are well-established
in the food industry. CCK, for example, is a leading producer of canned food products, while
F&N is one of the country's largest beverage companies. Both companies have strong brand
recognition and a history of financial stability, making them ideal investments in this sector. The
investment on CCK has proven to be the most profitable for me gaining about RM 328.

Another sector that I believe will see growth in the near future is the clothing industry. With the
upcoming festive season, I anticipate that there will be an increase in demand for new clothing,
particularly traditional attire. In order to take advantage of this trend, I have invested in PADINI
and PRLEXUS, two companies that specialize in clothing and fashion. PADINI, for instance, is
a leading fashion retailer in Malaysia, while PRLEXUS is a reputable clothing manufacturer. By
investing in these companies, I hope to benefit from the expected rise in demand for clothing
during the festive season.

In addition, I also anticipate that the increased demand for apparel will drive growth in the courier
industry, leading me to invest in GDEX, a well-established courier company in Malaysia. With
more people shopping online and buying clothes, the demand for courier service will increase,
as more packages need to be delivered.

Despite the slowing of the healthcare sector due to the pandemic, I believe that the discovery of
new COVID-19 variants will continue to drive growth in the industry, and so I have invested in
NOVA and TOPGLOV. NOVA, for example, is a leading medical device company, while
TOPGLOV is a well-known manufacturer of rubber gloves, which are in high demand due to the
ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. By investing in these companies, I hope to benefit from the
continued growth in the healthcare sector.

I also think that the technology sector in Malaysia is expanding rapidly, and so I have invested
in GENETEC and UWC, as I believe these companies have significant potential for growth.
GENETEC, for instance, is a leading provider of security and surveillance solutions, while UWC
is a reputable manufacturer of computer hardware. By investing in these companies, I hope to
benefit from the expansion of the technology sector in Malaysia. I regret not selling my
GENETEC shares when the price was still rising in order to secure a profit which caused me to
lose more than RM 1000. My greed caused me to hold on to the shares even as the price
dropped. In hindsight, I should have set a stop loss level and sold the shares once that level
was reached. In the future, I will implement a plan for selling shares that includes setting profit
targets and stop loss levels to avoid making the same mistake again.

Lastly, with the rising oil prices brought about by the Ukraine-Russia War, I have decided to
invest in SAPNRG, as an increase in oil prices will likely lead to an increase in the company's
share price. SAPNRG is a well-established oil and gas company in Malaysia and the company
will benefit from the rising oil prices.

In conclusion, I could improve my investment strategy by being more alert of the market, setting
profit objectives and stop loss level to limit my exposure to risk.
