MISC Berhad president and chief executive Yee Yang Chien paints a bullish picture of the future of a com­pany he has headed for three years.

If all the projects the company is bidding on in the oil and gas ­sectors come to fruition, it could require investment of up to $1bn in new assets.

These projects cover all the three main shipping sectors MISC operates in: its AET tanker arm, and its offshore and gas divisions.
