(n) Employee benefits
(i) Short-term benefits
Wages, salaries, bonuses and social security contributions are recognised as an expense in the year in which the associated services are
rendered by employees. Short-term accumulating compensated absences such as paid annual leave are recognised as a liability when they
accrue to the employees. The estimated liability for paid annual leave is recognised for services rendered by employees up to the reporting date.
Short-term non-accumulating compensated absences such as sick leave are recognised when the absences occur.
(ii) Defined contribution plans
Defined contribution plans are post-employment benefit plans under which the Group and the Company pay fixed contributions into separate
entities or funds and will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions if any of the funds do not hold sufficient assets to pay
all employee benefits relating to employee services in the current and preceding financial years. Such contributions are recognised as an expense
in the period in which the related service is performed. As required by law, companies in Malaysia make such contributions to the Employees
Provident Fund (EPF).
