SINGAPORE, 1 November 2011 – MAINBOARD-LISTED Tiong Woon

Corporation Holding Ltd (Tiong Woon or the Group) today announced that it has

signed a contract each in Myanmar and Malaysia to supply heavy equipment and

marine transportation for oil and gas-related projects.

This marks the Group’s first foray into Myanmar. In relation to its latest contract win,

Chairman and Managing Director, Mr Ang Kah Hong said he planned to set up a

representative office there in order to prospect new business and tap on new

business opportunities there.

The project in Malaysia is contracted through Tiong Woon’s wholly-owned

subsidiary, Tiong Woon Crane & Transport (M) Sdn Bhd, with Malaysia Marine and

Heavy Engineering Sdn Bhd. The contract relates to an offshore fabricator project

located in Pasir Gudang in Malaysia.

Currently, the Group is ranked 18th largest crane owning company worldwide by

International Cranes and Specialised Transport, a reputable trade magazine. It is

one of 10 companies in the world to have a single largest crane of 1,600-tonne lift

and above, namely, its Terex Demag CC 8800-1 crane.

The Myanmar contract was signed between Tiong Woon’s wholly-owned subsidiary,

Tiong Woon Crane Pte Ltd and an India-based conglomerate that provides

integrated design, engineering, procurement, construction and project management

services in the energy and infrastructure sectors globally. The contract relates to a

pipeline-laying project located in Myanmar, and the deal will see Tiong Woon

supplying cranes as well as providing marine transportation.

Both contracts will run for at least a year, and work is scheduled to start by the end

of 2011.

TWC is an integrated services provider for the oil and gas and petrochemicals

industries and specialises in heavy lift and installation of process equipment.

Mr Ang said: “We are delighted and thrilled by these business opportunities before

us. We will be capitalising on our strengths in heavy lift and haulage. As for

Myanmar, it is a new frontier for us, and we are excited to start prospecting for

possibilities there.

“Despite the current global economic sentiment, we are still attending to lots of

enquiries and are participating in a number of tenders, here and overseas,” he

added.

The Group will continue to execute its five-pronged business strategies to sustain

revenue growth and build shareholder value, namely:

1. To actively pursue business opportunities in emerging markets for the Group’s core Heavy Lift and Haulage segment;
2. To develop its Fabrication and Engineering competency for marine and oil andgas projects;
3. To invest in higher capacity and specialised equipment;
4. To forge strategic alliances and co-operation with international and industry players to jointly participate in the bidding for projects; and
5. To maintain active and tight management control of the Group’s respective business activities.
