KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 22 (Bernama) -- Enterprise information and communications technology (ICT) solutions provider RedPlanet Bhd made a strong debut on the ACE Market of Bursa Malaysia today following its transfer from the LEAP Market.

A total of 5.37 million shares were traded at the opening bell.
At a virtual press conference held after its transfer, managing director Lian Wah Seng said: “Our opening price was 40 per cent above the IPO price. We're very encouraged and grateful for the support.”
Its IPO was oversubscribed by 85.28 times. The company specialises in geospatial and intelligent rail solutions.
