SINGAPORE - Construction firm Lian Beng Group reported a net profit for the first quarter slumped 60.8 per cent to S$12.7 million.
Revenue for the three months to Aug 31 dropped 47.8 per cent to S$70.8 million , mainly owing to a fall in revenue from the construction and ready-mixed concrete segments, the company said on Thursday.
