(b)   Foreign currency transactions and Balances
                       Transactions in foreign currencies are converted into the respective functional currencies on initial recognition
                       using exchange rates at the transaction dates. At the end of the reporting period, foreign currency monetary
                       assets and liabilities  are retranslated at the exchange rates of that date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities
                       denominated in foreign currencies are not retranslated at the end of the reporting date.

                       All foreign currency exchange differences arising from the settlement of monetary items or on the
                       retranslation of monetary items are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.


              5.5   FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

                  (a)   initial recognition and Measurement
                       Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised in the statements of financial position when the Group
                       has become a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.


                       A financial instrument is recognised initially at the transaction price, including transaction costs. For a
                       financial asset or a financial liability that is subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss,
                       transaction costs are recognised in profit or loss when incurred.

                  (b)   subsequent Measurement
                       Debt instruments that are classified as current assets or current liabilities are measured at the undiscounted
                       amount of cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received. Other debt instruments are measured
                       at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

                       Investments in non-puttable ordinary shares are measured at cost less impairment unless the shares are
                       publicly traded or their fair values can otherwise be measured reliably without undue cost or effort, in which
                       case the investments are measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss.


                       Other than the above, all financial assets and financial liabilities are measured at fair value with changes in
                       fair value recognised in profit or loss.

                  (c)   Derecognition
                       A financial asset or part of it is derecognised when, and only when, the contractual rights to the cash flows
                       from the financial asset expire or are settled, or control of the asset is not retained or substantially all of the
                       risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred to another party. On derecognition of a
                       financial asset, the difference between the carrying amount of the financial asset derecognised and the
                       consideration received (including any newly created rights and obligations) is recognised in profit or loss.

                       A financial liability or part of it is derecognised when, and only when, the obligation specified in the contract
                       is discharged, cancelled or expires. A substantial modification of the terms of an existing financial liability is
                       accounted for as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new financial
                       liability. On derecognition of a financial liability, the difference between the carrying amount of the financial
                       liability extinguished or transferred to another party and the consideration paid (including any non-cash
                       assets transferred or liabilities assumed) is recognised in profit or loss.
