SubjectARTICLE ENTITLED "Measurex aims to be big IT player"

Contents :

We refer to your letter dated 6th June 2000.


We confirm that we had a conversation with Mr P. W. Thong of The STAR. However, we categorically deny informing the Reporter that Measurex is carrying out "due diligence" on new businesses.

We did mention that Measurex is looking at new business including IT related businesses but it is still at a very preliminary stage of negotiation. An announcement will only be made when negotiation is final.

We also deny mentioning any such capital injection to be made in the Company.

We hope that the above explanation would suffice.

Thank you.


Yours faithfully
