The retail group Mr. DIY increased its sales in its home market of Malaysia and in Brunei by almost 9 per cent in the second quarter. The increase is primarily due to 42 new openings. According to the company, however, several religious festivals had a negative impact on growth. The country is predominantly Muslim, but Buddhism also plays an important role.
In the quarterly report, Mr DIY also announces that it is entering into a lifestyle retailer. The aim is to diversify the sales base.
