| | CNN.com - Maxis profit up, Telekom down - Feb. 27, 2003 |
 | | Maxis, controlled by tycoon Ananda Krishnan, posted a net profit on Thursday of 949.7 million ringgit ($250 million) for the year to end-December, up from 600.9 million ringgit in 2001. |
 | | The Maxis result is in sharp contrast to that of national telco Telekom Malaysia, which reported on Thursday that its 2002 profit fell, as growth in its fixed-line business slowed. |
 | | Maxis, which is the last of Malaysia's five telecoms firms to be listed, made its July debut after a 3.05 billion ringgit initial public offering, the country's biggest share sale since the 1997-98 Asian crisis. |
